How old are you and how long did you smoke

[StandingOnTheMoon]

38/male, just joined, have been lurking and researching for a few weeks and started vaping on Saturday. I am down to 2 or 3 analogs a day since the day it arrived after smoking more than a pack a day for 26 years. I find the first ones when I wake up the hard ones to give up.

smoked off & on from age 10 to 17 but didn't learn to inhale until I was 16, quit a couple of years ago but couldn't get off the nicotine lozengers so started vaping a year ago but smoked off & on still, so far about 3 months since my last analog.

Smoked 1.5 packs a day for almost 31 years

Started when I was 18 and working outside for a summer at a local nursery

Camel Unfiltered to start, moved on to True 100 Menthols (cause all my friends hated them and wouldn't borrow them from me), finally on to Marlboro 100 Menthol Silvers

Got up to 3 packs a day. Quit Nov 8 and haven't looked back, just wish I'd found vaping sooner.

This is amazing, 55 pages of success stories!
We all deserve a BIG applause! It really is scary to see the amount of years some of us have smoked, even after quitting for a few years (like I did), and now we are free!

I'm specially very happy to see all the young people in their 20's & 30's that are switching smoking for vaping, you guys are so lucky! I wish something like this had existed many years ago. I just regret not having found about vaping sooner but that how it is.
Now I'd love for every smoker out there to know that there are options without going through 'hell'...why aren't e-cigs more popular???

[karpe]

24 and I smoked only for a few years, but my fiancé didn't like it so I changed to e-cigs. And to be honest, I like vaping more

 

[Alžběta Madragana]

53 1/2 years old.
Started analogs at 33 1/2 years old, at the beginning of Operation Desert Storm.
That makes for 20 years analogs - 2 packs a day.
Stopped analogs began vaping the same month I began smoking 20 years ago.
Don't even want to think of how much of my life I WASTED on those things, not to mention $$.
Sure am glad I'm a 'vaper' now...
