How old are you and how long did you smoke

[gb_ibmguy]

59 Male. Started smoking when cigs were $.50 a pack. Yes, 50 cents. And there were sales on cartons. No-names to e sure, but still, sales? This was in Arizona in the late 50's.

Not only was I smoking when we landed on the moon, I was also enjoying my first drunk (Busch Beer -yuk!)

I'm 25 and have smoked for 10 years. I live in NY where they just passed ANOTHER tobacco tax, even upstate where I live my cigarettes now cost $9.40/pack! Ridiculous! So I've started vaping with the occassional analog and I couldn't be happier!

I snuck some as a kid, when they used to have cigarette machines, I'd buy a pack and hide it, but I really started when I was 18. Stupidest decision I ever made, but I was convinced I was being sophisticated.

36 male.
Had my first smoke at about 12 years old. Stole a pack out of my Dad's carton.
My family on my mothers side were all smokers (except my mom) and had to try it because I wasn't supposed to.

Started smoking a pack a day around 18 years old. I quit many times. My record was 6 months. Vaping has helped me crush that record without a second thought.

promised people i would quit on my 30th birthday, 8 months after that birthday came and went the guy at the mall kiosk (expensive introduction to e-cigs but well worth it now) gave me the way out or there would be no hope.

Im 24 Almost 10 years my poison Menthol full flavors (my first decade was coming up in august)

Picked up first cig at age 13 inhaled once Got sick Didn't inhale the rest of the entire first year

started inhaling at age 14 the day after freshman year started in highschool it was a friday cause my friends were over and the first time i inhaled on a smoke and didn't get sick was by sheer accident cause i was drunk (for the First time aswell) my friends were clapping like i had learned to fly or something man were we stupid as hell.

For along time i had to sneak em so for the longest time i only had one a day and that was when my mom went to bed cause i was underaged. FFWD through a bunch of crap and ended up with a pack to a pack and a 1/2 on average a day sometimes 2 if i was at a friends that allowed smoking inside and to be honest i never thought about it till i got a side job delivering pizza like a year ago and i realized that i infact was a jack ... and was lighting up pretty much evreytime i got in my car to take a pizza somewhere and if i wasn't lighting up on the way there i was lighting up on the way back to the store

however since i started with e cigs with in the last month my coughing fits have stopped in the mornings and i don't sound like im on the way out the door, even my band notices my voice is sharper and im not out of breath when i sing or play i havent felt this great in years

As an aside, I'd love to know how you improved health wise after smoking for that long and coming into vaping.

It's just pure curiosity.
