i'm 28 now, smoked for 15 years, started when I went to a jesuit all boys highschool and thought I was a rebel smoking behind the gym. I was so cool back then.
62, smoked for 50 years, more than 40 years of that was smoking a pipe. Tried everything to give up smoking. Two weeks after starting vaping the pipes were packed away.

I started smoking at 14, back when my friend's dad used to let him and me finish the remainder of his cigars. Coolest dad ever! I was smoking heavily by the time I joined the Marines at 18 (that three months of boot suuuuuuuuucked). Then I got married and actually quit for two years... until the marriage turned sour. I was back up to two packs a day by the time the divorce was finallized by the gloriously overrated state of Arizona. I was 23 then, and I just finally left analogs behind for good about three months ago. I started vaping 36mg, and I'm down to a very respectable 12mg now.
35, smoked for 18 years, pack a day. Full flavored cigs. Usually Marlboro red or American Spirit Perique blend.
Already down to 12mg nic levels while vaping after starting at 24mg.
Analog free for 75 days and going strong.

smoked 35 years with 3 years off (stopped twice for a year and a half each)
I smoked 2 PAD (or more) for over 30 years until June 2012. In April 2012, I had a heart attack and had a stent put in. Then I was told I would also need a 4x bypass, which I had in August 2012. I made the switch to vaping in June 2012 and have not had an analog since. I knew I wanted to quit before the bypass because I knew the recovery would be a lot easier if I did, lung and breathing-wise. I had been making my own cigs for about 8 or so years, so I gathered up all my tobacco, MYO machines, tubes and other paraphernalia and gave it all away. Now analog-free for over 13 months and counting. I feel great and my lungs are clear. My Vamo tastes better anyway. JD

Smoked about 1/2 pack of ryo for three years, quit for a year, then picked the habit back up earlier this spring. Just got my first e-cig in the mail today (ego/kanger t3s clearo) and doubt I'll ever roll another analog. Huge thanks to everyone on this forum for all of the advice and support!
