How many years WERE you a analog smoker?

[sbphotog]

smoke for 22 years. Started at 13, but managed to quit for a year before finding pv's and of course relapsed.......Since finding pv's I haven't touched a cig since.

Started off & on since about 3rd-4th grade bout the same time I tried pot... started smoking regularly in high school, chain smoked my way through the military & beyond. Thank God you're never too old to change.

Started smoking when I was living abroad at 19. Quit briefly when I returned to the States but started back at 20. Smoked for 21 years. Quit completely 4 days after getting my first e-cig. Haven't had one since.

Smoked for 34 years.8-o I cant believe how easy it has been to stop with the vaping. These babies are life savers. I have been analog free for a week and will never go back.

Lets see... I started when I was 13 years old and quit a few weeks before my 43rd birthday, which is in 2 days. So I smoked for over 29 years and probably spent somewhere close to $40,000.00 on the old nasties8-o

Started when I was 12, smoked for 43 years. Stopped the day I got my 510 back on 2 Sep 09. Haven't missed the analogs one little bit. I now use a Chuck with the 510 attie and Atomic Fireball juice. Sheer Heaven!

Started when I was 12, so 24 years. 2/3rds of my life. *sigh*

Got my first vp tonight so hopefully the analog I smoked while making sure batteries were charged, blank cart was filled, reading booklet, etc was my last.

I hope it is too, but if it isn't don't let it bother you.
Electronic cigarettes usually win in the end.

Wow - this really doesn't look good on my part. I started when I was 13 - I'm 55 now ( dang I'm old ) -- so what's ? That 42 years . I stopped for ONE time for 30 days over 25 years ago - that's the ONLY time since New Year's Eve - so less than a week from now - I'll break my previous record and have no plans of going back. I still don't consider myself a non smoker yet - I'll get to that point I hope - but right now - I feel like I could cave at any time - I'm doing this deal one day and at time . But, so far so good, thanks to my new hobby ---- e-cigs and more importantly - thanks to all the great folks here on the forum for all of the help and support I receive each and every day.

35 years-----I still have 1/2 pack I was smoking when I got my first kit. (10 months ago)

Started at 12 stealing em from my old man who was a 3 pack a day smoker (no exaggeration). That was 24 years ago. Smoked about a pack a week for the first year. Lived in Montana at the time and at 13 a friend of mine and I went into a po-dunk truck stop to try and buy a pack. Lady gave me a dirty look and I said "What? I'm old enough!" to which she replied "I know you're old enough but you guys shouldn't be wasting your money on these things". Needless to say I quickly ramped it up to a pack a day after discovering I could purchase them! Hit 2 ppd in my twenties and 1.5 ppd the last 5-6 years. Quit the day I got my 510!

Incidentally anyone noticing a trend in those numbers? Take a good look and bare in mind the anti-vapers claim e-cigs to be specifically targeted to children!

I started smoking analogs when I was 15, so around 7 years. I love vaporizing! I got mine two days ago, the next morning I took 4 hits off an analog and put it out, it just didn't appeal to me. Today I thought I was craving one again and I took two hits and it smelled and tasted so nasty xD I put it out. Vaporizing is what's up!
