I had my last cigarette on Sunday October 20,2013 at 8 AM. I only know the time, because I looked at it when I was smoking my last cigarette! I had plans on it being my last, and it really was. So, 7 years and 3 months!

Since 1st July 2020....I am new 
I actually had a puff of cig some months ago not that I wanted but cause I wanted to remind myself the difference and I couldn't do more than 2 puffs of cig...soooo it's doesn't count!!!!
There is no way I am going back to cigs even if they ban vaping I will figure it out and vape or quit everything...

Don't feel bad. I, too, have slipped off the wagon a few times since I started vaping. And it seemed to get harder as devices changed and got more powerful. Now I'm a Swedish Snus user and couldn't be happier.
It's been over eight years since I burned any tobacco. A friend introduced me to vaping and more specifically to the world of NETs (naturally extracted tobaccos). I had no ambitions of "quitting" smoking but once I acquired all the necessary gear and got started I never lit up again. Fortunately it just worked out that way for me. Also glad I stumbled upon ECF when I did, wouldn't be where I am today without all the help/information everyone here provided!
Plus or minus a day or so of the actual dates...
Last stinky smoked... 249,609,600 seconds
Last time I vaped... 41,731,200 seconds
........................................
7 years, 10 months, 26 days
1 year, 3 months, 25 days

The exact date will never be known to me - it just sort of happened and i didn't take a lot of notice. It was just before my ECF joining date though...
Which is something of a surprise now i've looked at the date. I guess the pack of ciggies i have stashed somewhere are a bit stale now.
Aaah, no. I remember now, i tried a cigarette a couple of years after stopping. Didn't like it, tasted of death and hobo socks... Sod it, lets call it 6 years today

16th of October 2015 was the last time I lit my pipe after 50+ years of smoking intially unfiltered cigarettes and then a pipe from 1974.
Vaping just worked for me from the off and I honestly can say that I have never been tempted to even try smoking since.
To me Vaping has been nothing short of miraculous.

Vaping since November 2019.
Only had one relapse,went thru a really bad and messy breakup,went out for drinks and my mod ran out of batteries so i caved in accepted a cigarette from someone,then after a couple more shots of tequila i ended up buying a pack of cigarettes.
That has been the only time i smoked,but yeah no doing that again...smell of cigarettes makes me physically sick so i am sticking with vaping.
I blame the tequila shots for my relapse...hence me not drinking tequila again

Ahhh I slip now and then and have a few. Don't know why, I just do. No danger of me ever going back to cigs as a daily thing though. They really do taste that bad. Now if Marlboro came in a strawberry cheesecake flavor, I might be in trouble.
It would have been almost 12 years ago, but I've had two psych hospitalizations in that time, where they allow you to smoke, but not vape. I would smoke then, and immediately upon discharge, vape like h3ll. So I guess it's been about 5 and a half years for me since my last smoke.
19th December 2013 - had my final cigarette at about 6 pm (after 40 years of smoking) - so just over 7 years for me. I'm with @Falconeer above - for me, it's nothing short of miraculous
No chance. "Tough" is the devil we've all met.
"A" for efforts, because that's what counts.
It's been about a year and a half for me. I can't remember whether we bought a pack or had one with the neighbors.
Having an occasional cigarette during the first few years of vaping was fine for us, a pack or two a year. We finally just stopped thinking of smoking. Safe isolation has meant few visits to a bar or the neighbors to tempt us.
I'll probably have a few more in the future. Only the first Newport Light still tastes good, after that I don't want another. Vaping spoiled smoking for me, and I am thankful.
