Simply adding a post, 20 million takes a lot of people. Been away from the site ECF for awhile (Away from Cigs even longer) As my name suggests it has been that long since i have even held a cancer stick. Also wanted to say thank you for the forum, it helped in so many ways i can't begin to explain.
I am proud to say that i can now again fully enjoy playing Racquetball and many other sports. My body gives out LONG BEFORE my lungs.
The smell is finally out of the house, car, office, and clothes (I remember the first winter after quitting and went to put my winter coats on for the first time "I couldn't believe how bad they smelled" out of the closet.
I smoked That Cowboy Killer Cig from 17 to 43 years of age, 2 to 2-1/2 packs a day depending on stress level and finances. (I LAUGH SO HARD AT PEOPLE WHO THINK MODS are expensive.) Oh yes i have spent a lot of money on many many many "experiments". However i have not spent ($6.00Pack) x (2packs a day) x (365 days a year) x (2.202 years) = $9,644.76, for the record i see my avatar and realized everything in it is in a box collecting dust LOL.
Simply find (or Make as i do) a juice that makes you happy and roll with it. Everything else is just FLUFF.
Vaping has become a new way of life for me, Thanks to all those that came before me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent post, "Three-Two-Three-One-Three".
And yes, everything is relative to what we were doing previously, and we should never lose sight of that. Me, being somewhat of a data person, can accurately state the following:
Two ex-smokers in the house, both switched to vaping at 8pm, on 13-Nov-11. Which equates to:
- 1,308.66 days -
- 186.95 weeks -
- 43.02 months -
- 3.59 years.
- 91,606 tobacco cigarettes (I detest the "analog" application) not smoked, and at least somewhat importantly -
- $22,502.63 dollars saved. That's actual SAVINGS, with everything we've spent factored accurately into the equation. At that, at least for me, is a fairly good chunk of change.
To your point though, the ultimate benefit is our health, which is obvious to everyone except some politicians & BT proponents. But we know it - and that's what counts.
Vape proudly (just not TOO loudly).
I never tire of reading success stories no matter who they are, how they got into it, or style they vape in. It's all fantastic news and I am so very happy for all of us here. In fact....it calls for a happy dance 
Im SO HAPPY I vape not smoke
For the sake of a post plus that I so agree with you, I cant believe I walked around stinking as I must have for now i smell it in others. My husband is a hound dog and he can catch a whiff of across the street and down 200 yards
/Sighs, as a Canadian I soooooo used to love Marlboros. We can not buy them here. I could buy Camel Lights,, or Winstons, but when Canadian cigs were about $6.75, a pack of Camel Lights were about $10.25 and I smoked 2 packs a day. That hurt. I hated throwoing away $0.05 like that.
I lived in Negril Jamaica in the 1980s for a year when Negril was still so new, so exciting, so not a tourist trap but my American bf/partner at the time owned a rather large resort there and we had really nice cottages for rentals. Yoou could not buy Marlboros there either, yet worse, not even Camels. They had rather disgusting tobacco, much like Canada. So I used to grab all the Americans coming though with cartons of Marlboros and I would quickly grab them and give them a a $150US cottage for the night if tey gave me their carton of Marlboros and i swear, that whole year I never was without..
So I tried my first tobacco juice a few weeks ago and looked for the Marlboro/Camel tasting juice and found it all vile. Ah perhaps it wasnt the best juice, I tend to believe a lot of us in our mid/late 40s/50s who were heavy smokers came from a time were many might have had undiagnosed anxiety issues, sometthing that wasnt spoken about then.
I can relate to myself in hindsight. No one has ever said I have, nor has any doctor, but I look back to my teens as a female before I began to smoke. My family life was highly dysfunctional under great emotional stress and I bit my nails. Down to the quick. Till they were sore and occassionally bled a bit, yet the rest of me was put together very well. But I could not stop biting my nails. I began to smoke and one day I looked at my nails and i could see that for the first time in my life, as short as it might have been then that I had nails growing. I believe now, I did suffer some form of anxiety and the cigarettes I took to like a duck does to water, and I smoked pretty heavily from the first week or so.
Ironically I had beautiful nails and it was often said I could have been a hand model.....no one would have believed it had they seen them before I smoked.
I smoked all of my life.
I could never handle drugs at the doctors, dentists, etc, that made me hyper as it would make me full of anxiety. That sort of anxiety a mother feels when her child is late and she knows that hes dead in a car accident somewhere. That sort of anxiety, but even worse. Couldnt smoke {Other stuff}for the same reason. Gave me a feeling of anxiety I hated. Could never quit and like many vapers, tried everything but was never successful at it until I discovered vaping. And even vaping I am never without a device in my hand.
Never would be described as an "anxious" person but I believe its there. Perhaps I hide it well, I cant say but it would go a long way for me in describing why I always smoked heavily and Vape quite so as well.........
I bet if many considered this, they might come up with the same thoughts about it.......
