How many years WERE you a analog smoker?

[vip0802]

i first tried smoking at 14, but i hated it. picked it up again at 18 and didn't stop for 12 years until my first vape off my 510 over a month ago.

I started when I was 16. Up until that point I HATED cigarette smoke. My cousin and I both worked at a fast food resteraunt where smoking was allowed, that's how we started. Everyone that worked there smoked....everywhere. Neither of us came from parents or even family who smoked. Just me, my cousin and my little brother. Very odd.

So, 15ish years for me.

Started at age 16 and smoked for 21 years before I hit the shiny SB.

Started smoking age 9 (swiped from my parents of course). Will be 59 in Sept. I should be dead. I still smoke a few analogs a day, but I dont inhale them, I just like the taste in my mouth, I guess. COPD pretty bad, but no O2, thank God. Had a heart attack at age 43, smoked in the john while in the hospital. Yeah was a hard-core smoker.

Started at age sixteen smoked for forty years (most of that was 2 pks a day)
Haven't smoked since started e-cigs in January 2010.

I'm 54. Started at 16, smoked for 38 years. Don't miss it at all since discovering e-cigs...thank god.

tasted my first cigarette in 3rd grade. smoked full-time since 15, but off and on since 12 or 13 (hard to get smokes as a 13 yo) so I put 25 years 'cause I'm 38 now.

 

[progg]

Lemme see, started at 12. Stopped 3.6 weeks ago. Shh, don't tell anyone---41 years.

 

[scross1]

Started at 16- quit at 29. Started again at 36- quit at 51. 28 years. Analog free for 5 weeks.

 

[Klynne]

Became a dedicated smoker at 13,( quit once for 6 weeks) I was working on my 38th year.

 

[hiram13pm]

Started smoking on my 18th birthday, 8/28/1984. 1-2 packs a day, up until 5/5/10, when I just handed my last ones to a co-worker, and said, "you want these? I don't..."

25+ years and have to say that between v4life and Imeo, they have definately saved my life or added years to it for sure I was smoking 2 packs a day and some for all that time since I was a young man, vaping is just awesome, I still love that look we all get from people who are clueless to vaping and using Analogs hahahah thank you guys

Interesting how the non-profits soooo concerned about our health are convinced (or are they really?) that electronic cigarettes are aimed at young non-smokers to get them hooked on nicotine.

How do they explain the fact that 90% of us non-smoking kids have smoked for 10 years or more?

 

[Rosa]

facts? what facts? we don't need no stinking facts! (that's how)

I am 46, and have been smoking for 31 years. I went from 2 packs a day to about 1/2 a pack a day, since my first ecig. I just cant find the right PV or juice. I have tried the l88b "noob tubes" a 801, and a 510. I think I need to go high volt big battery, and up the nic. Just cant spend that kind of money right now all at once! Bottom line, e-cigs will help you cut down on the analogs if not quit completely!

 

[SaltoftheEarth]

Sixteen years too many, I wish e cigs had been around a long time ago!!!

 

[CoffNoMoJo]

42 years, since I was 12. At least that's when I started wasting my allowance on them. I'd go to the little market on the corner and tell the nice lady I wanted a pack of Larks for my mom. For most of those years I smoked 2-3 packs a day. Imagine how much money I'd have for luxuries if I'd saved all that money!

 

[zbasspro]

27 years! close to 2 packs a day for the best part of them too. Today is day #3 without an analog. I had 5 the 1st day I got my PV, and zero the next 2 days! I felt better when I woke up this morning already!

 

[o4_srt]

started at 19, it was the army's fault, really. too much boredom

 

[nansc]

I started at 13 everyone in my generation smoked even the doctors.
