Holy stinkies, Batman!

I have been paying close attention to the "days smoke free" number on my banner. But today I paid attention to the "analogs avoided" number.

Are you kidding me?!?! In less than 2 months I have not smoked over 1,000 nasty horrible awful no-good cigarettes. OVER ONE THOUSAND!

This just blows me away. The math isn't hard but when I was smoking I never bothered to add it all up. That's a whole, whole lot of cigarettes I smoked in the 25 years I was lighting up.

THANK GOD FOR vaping!

Scarey isn't it when the numbers start adding up?

Gratz on your upcoming 2 month stinky free! It is a milestone to be remembered.

 

[Vwls]

I never added it up but my garbage cans were full of buts..it was embarrassing!

 

[DetraMental]

It's pretty mind boggling to see those numbers. I look at mine and think, "No wonder I was sick"

 

[LeftHandBlack]

Congrats and vape on!

 

[Iffy]

Kudos on your first thou!

Ya made me do a lil' multiplication for myself... over 36,000 not lit!!!

And yes, thank da heavens for vaping!

It's frightening when you see exactly how much tar is extracted from 400 cigarettes:

Just did a quick calculation on my spreadsheet: 10,400, give or take a couple of hundred, in the year I've been cig free.

 

[Whosback]

I'm at 3,650 here give or take and that's keeping it at 1 pack a day I often varied so add about 200 give or take to this.

I know the feeling! I'm still blown away every day I peek at my banner and see how many cigs I've managed to avoid...

 

[cdsaint66]

That's a lot of smokes, and the number will just keep climbing. Congratulations!

I just noticed my tally is doing something screwy! October 19th will be my 1 year vaperversary, and even if it is counting down time until then, 1 year, -1 months and 20 days since my last cigarette doesn't make much sense. Unless... +1 year, -1 month, +20 days... I guess it makes sense, but what a strange way of expressing it. I would have preferred 11 months and 20 days.

THANK GOD FOR VAPING!

Here is some more math for you. If you took an average of 7 minutes to smoke a cigarette, then you also saved 5 days 6 hours!!!
Hard to believe but 1080 cigs * 7 min each = 7560 minutes = 126 hours = 5 days 6 hours.

Assuming $5.00 / pack you also saved $270.

I was just going to post "I'd like to see the cloud from 1000 cigs", but that is much more effective!

 

[patkin]

It took me six months for the total switch and it varied so much I can't remember but, overall, I've been vaping for 11 months so the number not smoked is 13,200. At the .19 (I bought from a reservation) per smoke I spent, that's about a $2,500.00 savings and great even considering what I spent on vaping.

 

[Grammie]

Congrats! Your post made me look at how many I've NOT smoked!

 

[onry]

congrats on your first 1000 avoided.
Holy cow Grammie thats alot of stinkies you got away from lol
