32, female, 10 years, 10-15 cigs/day

I was a late starter, I was probably 22 when I had my first cigarette. I started only when I drank for about 5 years. I was a classic good girl, and it felt good to rebel once in a while. I started drinking late too.

Later, stresses of living far away from my family and having a "real" job, and a "real" life, I got addicted. Have been wanting to quit for 3 years at least. Wish I had quit before I couldn't.
 
30 years old
smoking since 1992 or '93 back when marb light menthol was $1.00 a pack.
18 years smoking, anywhere from 1-2 packs a day.
male

I remember when marb light menthol went up twenty-five cents. i tripped about the price increase. if then you told me they would be $6 a pack now.. i would have bought a life time supply then.
 
I'm 56 and Have been smoking since I was 17. My husband is 63 we bought our first Kits on Feb 13th 2010 and I have not had a cig since that date :) my husband finished the last two packs of his carton and I still have a half a carton left never think about them oh yea I think I have a couple of packs in My book bag for work My first month I thought about having cigs with me at all times but this is the first time I thought about them in a couple months yea!!!

still smoking...hoping to quit/switch to vaping for my upcoming birthday! It's been 31 years of smoking, and I quit for 7.5 years in the middle...got seduced back to cigs (powerful addiction!)

Have always ended up at about 1.5 packs a day, if I am given the time to smoke em.

great thread...I was just discussing this question with a friend today!

I dont remember a pack of analogs costing $1.00 back in '92 or 93, I lived in Virginia and they were about $2.50. What state did you live in cuz cigs havent been a dollar a pack since the early 80s?
