How old were you when you had your first analog?

I was 18. Had my first cigarette within 5 minutes of midnight on the day I turned 18, because it was legal at that point... I also bought my first lottery ticket.
I had a Marlboro Light... Made me sick as hell. I thought it was just because I wasn't used to smoking, but apparently there is something in them that if I smoke them filtered it makes me *really* sick. I can handle them if I rip the filter off.

Smoked a few with my younger sister in my early teens but didn't start properly until I was 18. No one pushed me, I just decided to do it and pretty much got hooked from the start. Didn't hit a pack a day until I was in college living away from home though, I came from a heavily anti-smoking household and we weren't allowed smoke in view of our parents until our 20s! Very quickly I was up to two packs a day and stayed on that until about two years ago when I cut down to a pack and a half. Haven't smoked indoors in 5 years, my wife got really anti-smoking when she got pregnant with our first kid and has had me smoking outdoors since then.

But, she really approves of vaping so I get to "smoke" at the PC again which is a lovely feeling to have back! Being able to get my nicotine fix without having to wait for an ad break or similar is wonderful!
