Well Hit, considering how young you were joining the e cig/snus world, I'll bet if you had ever reached 43 years of smoking, you may have gotten to 2 1/2 per day. I still wasn't as bad as my aunt was, she always had a cigarette lit and seemed to stop for a carton every day or two, but I was a pretty regular every half hour smoker.

I was smoking for 23 years when I started vaping.
I was at about 39 years when I quit smoking totally, and was smoking 2 1/2 packs a day when I started vaping full time. I vaped some before that, but really didn't give up the cigarettes until then. Now I am not vaping a lot, mostly using Snus. :)

    Somewhere between here and there
    I'm honestly surprised that I wasn't smoking more at the end. My dad, mom, step mom, brother, and sister all smoke/smoked. Mom and Dad had copd and I found out at my father's funeral that my brother had it now and was still smoking. I think a big part of my saving grace was that I couldn't smoke at work unless I went outside. The job I've been at for the past 20 years doesn't allow smoking unless you go outside and we don't have set breaks except for lunch. I used to go out half a dozen times a day and sneak in a quick smoke. I'm pretty sure that my past cars wouldn't start without a cigarette being lit first. Now it's snus most of the day at work and I can sneak a few hits at a time off an ecig in the back of the shop without anyone being the wiser. I never felt comfortable approaching my boss about openly using an ecig in the shop. I figure what he doesn't know doesn't hurt me.

    Back in my old shop it was still a grey area at the time, but I converted my committee man to vaping (after 43 years smoking, my proudest achievement) and he put the kibash on any of managements complaints.

    My new shop has no vaping signs right next to the no smoking signs. I vape semi openly in the plant, and have been busted several times. But it just depends on who catches you. Never twice by the same person so far.

    Waho, you definitely got there faster than I. Mine was a slow process that kept climbing every time I had a failed quit attempt. I know my last one was a mass hypnosis session that lasted like a week and a half. My guess was about 10 years before I got talked into e cigs. I swore back then that I was done trying to quit and was at the 2 plus packs a day range for those ten years.

    Yeah and that's low since the banner doesn't work anymore. It's a month and a half outdated. Does yours update and, if so, where did you get it?
    I know mine updates, if interested, just click the banner and it will take you where you can get one. The new ECF forum software only seems to refresh it once a day, but I can live with that. :)

    Tried the banner but it goes by packs instead of cigarettes and won't take half packs.

    Has anyone tried the Skoal snus? Just got a flyer for a buck off on one coupon and one for two off two. They show a mint and a smooth mint. If no one has tried it, I might giive it a go.

    The one I use goes by # cigarettes, not packs.
