Oh, by the way, I'm no spring chicken. Smoked for 50+ years. Dat's a lot of Marlboros.
Welcome to the forum, Fitz. Never too late to start over!!! Congrats on giving up the stinkies. Tons of help here. Good luck to you...
Welcome aboard from another long long term ex smoker. Hope you enjoy your time here!
Funny thing about smoking. I have quit a few times in the past--once for almost 4 years. The problem was always that the longer I stayed away from cigarettes, the better they would smell. So I always tried to do the "mature" thing, and have just one. That "one" was always magnificent, and the smell was magnificent. With vaping, however, it's a totally different experience. My first 10 days or so it was easy to cut down to only one or two cigarettes a day. Then I would go several days without one. Now, after a month, they absolutely stink! They smell and taste awful! I just can't believe it. I have never experienced a negativism to cigarette smoke before. An added plus is all of the gear--all the toys. It's something to play with and a new hobby to explore. So far, so good. I am liking this.
"Now, after a month, they absolutely stink! They smell and taste awful! I just can't believe it.

I couldn't agree more - only I found the same at around the end of my first week of vaping - cigarettes burning for some reason began to smell to me like paraffin/kersosene.
This contrasts with the end of my last attempt at giving up via Smoking Cessation Courses and Nic replacement therapy - at the six weeks stage I was in Motherwell town centre when a man filled his pipe with Condor and lit up. I smelled it from across the street and followed him round the precinct...ending up going into the tobacconists, buying a cheap pipe and a packet of the said Condor.
This is why I absolutely believe vaping is the only way to go!

Hi Fitzinthewindow and welcome to ECF, I'm happy that you are having success staying of the cigarettes! There is plenty of information to learn and answers to questions you may have.
I am coming up to a month off cigarettes as well and the smell is really starting to bug me. My wife still smokes and I let her still smoke in the car. I smoked a lot longer and more than she did, so I am trying not to be hypocritical.
I also quit for almost 4 years starting about 10 years ago. I had one after a bunch of drinks, then a couple... And within a week I was back up to a pack a day. Stupid.
I quit smoking completely The day I bought my vape gear. It am also loving this new "hobby".
Good luck!
