Started at 17, quit at 47, so 20 years there. Stayed off for 4 years, then started again about a year and a half a go. Quit (ish) for about a month last summer when I tried vaping the first time, and smoked since then. Got new vaping stuff, and have been analog free for 9 days now. (man, stuff sure has improved in a year!)

So roughly 21 years total.

I was REALLY stupid - most of you started young, in your teens - I didn't start smoking till I was 21! I remember when I started I told myself I could quit anytime. Remember that?? :facepalm: So a little over 25 years at least 2 PAD, sometimes on my days off it might have been closer to 2.5 PAD...as you can see below its almost seventeen months smoke free AND nicotine free! Had my last analog the day I got my first KR808D-1 kit in the mail...I've been a happy 0-nic vaper ever since!! Thanks for this thread! Its a good one... :)

42 years of smoke, started at 14 and quit at 56, eight months ago. never stopped smoking, nor even tried during these 42 years. Around 30 and some, I was a big smoker, more than 2 packs a day, but I decreased my consumption after I started rolling my cigarettes, to about 20 cigs a day (small diameter), until I had this bronchitis in last February, brutally quit smoking and went cold turkey for a couple of days before trying my first e-cig, a disposable one (e-pure). Then I resumed smoking for about one week (while vaping at the same time) then completely quit smoking in the middle of March. it has been very easy to quit smoking indeed, I had no craving at all after starting to use my first eGo kit. :)

Lets see hmmmmmm, started cigs at 11, quit cigs at 52 = 41 years, but not done yet. Started smoking cigars at 52, quit at 57 = 5 years, all in 46 years of tobacco. Started vape at age 57, I'm now 59, and have not felt better than I do now. Truth told, in hindsight, cigs made me feel like crap all through my life, I was just not smart enough to realize. Vape has taught me many things, such as: I smell better, I taste better, I don't have to suffer bronchitis twice a year, I don't have to have a perpetual cough, no stinky rooms, no stinky car, teeth have stopped yellowing, etc..... Only thing which ever let me successfully quit tobacco!

Started trying cigarettes about age 14 but really started about 16 years old with a PAD habit. I'm now 67 years old and stopped smoking Sept. 9th, 2013 due to stage 3 lung cancer. I've used nothing but e-cigs since and now with either 6mg or 0 mg nicotine depending on dripping or tank top. Only thing that stopped my smoking as I've tried all methods out there with 0 effect other than smoking more at the time.
