How old are you and how long did you smoke

[PhreakySTS9]

23 years old. Started smoking when I was 13 or 14(it was in Feb within a couple days of my 14th birthday so close enough) stupidly, not because I thought it was cool (it was actually considered quite the extreme opposite) but because I loved the buzz it gave. Started vaping October 11, 2010 which I was 21, will be 24 in Feb so about 8 years I smoked, and i've vaped 2 years and 3 months.

..Think I got all that right, i'm still tired...

35. Smoked cloves (djarum regulars, then djarum blacks) in my late teens/early 20s. Stopped cold turkey on a dare (mainly smoked during commutes and to kill time btw classes), and restarted 4-5 years ago with djarum blacks again. This time I smoked a lot more, anx it became much more of a regular habit and harder to kick. Was up to a pack (12 "cigars") a day on my worst days.

I will be 43 in 8 days so I might as well go with that! I have smoked since I was 25 (also old enough to know better) so almost 18 years. Not vaping right now because I started with a mall variety and that didn't work out. Waiting for my eGo 1100mah CE4 Kit to arrive (along with some butterscotch and caramel liquid) and can't wait to get started!

I'm 37 and smoked a pack and a half a day since 15. Just picked up a Lavatube and have cut down to about 9 analogs a day. Hope to be off them completely in a month. This is turning out to be easier than I thought!

Im 32 and im about to give up smoking through replacing regular sigarettes with e-cig. I smoke for 8 years already and tryed to give up this habbit few times.. failed, as you might guess . But experience of ppl who vaping instead of smoking gave me another chance. Tomorrow i will get my 1st e-cig and will see how will that go

[mourningshadow]

33 years old, smoker for 21 years. Yes I started at 12........damn Boy Scouts and peer pressure.

Started vaping 5 days ago and have had zero desire to pick up a cigarette yet so let's hope thus pattern holds.

 

[dragonfly13]

35 years old, female. Started smoking at 15. Quit briefly twice. It's been hard. Tried every Rx and cessation therapy to date. I'm hoping to taper nicotine to 0mg with vaping.

Yes I'm young but chose this as an alternative. Not to quit or look cool.
