How many cigarettes did you smoke?

[Clouder]

Morning, morning my fellow inmates,

I was just wondering (as I am still sukkeling to get off the stinkings) when you guys smoked, how many cigarettes did you smoke per day? And maybe which brand?

I've been smoking now for.. 26 odd years (Started when I was just a boy )

I use to gooi about 25-35 a day (40 on a bad day), smoking Winston since day 1, I'm down now to about 10.

I sukkel with it, man!

EDIT: I would like to add, over the years with the tobacco laws and all, tobacco companies started reducing tar and nicotine in their cigarettes. Every time a new 'look' came out for the cigarette boxes, I noticed my smokes are less powerful. I use to HATE that, but now I'm glad about it!

Marlboro Blue Ice between 30 and 50 a day!

When I used to smoke "stinkies" about 3 years ago, I would average around 13 - 15 a day, then I used tablets called "zyban" (Works 100%) I quit smoking for a year, then one night I had a few dops to many and was having drags of my friends "rollies", I then started rolling my own till about Feb this year also averaging around 13 - 15 a day. In Feb I went to twisp bought a solo, this thing lasted about week, bought 2 clearo's, these also did not last to long, leaking etc, coils lasting a week blah blah,. So I looked into an alternative product (Subox mini kit) , still vaping on this thing. I quit the "rollies" the day I bought the solo. Haven't smoked a stinkie or a rollie since.

Little background on Zyban, its actually an anti depressant tablet but when they did a survey about 90% of the smokers quit smoking for some odd reason lol. I just took them with the idea of "this isn't going to work" and carried on smoking as per normal, I was off the stinkies a week and a half later without even noticing. So if you are struggling getting off stinkies by using vape products I can recommend Zyban, I have referred about 4 of my friends to this and they have all stopped the stinkies. You need to get these tablets proscribed by a doctor obviously with reason to quit smoking

35 - 50 everyday

PS. I edited the thread title @Clouder

 

[Clouder]

Ya! THAT was REAL Winston! "Taste America, light a Winston!"

Thanx @Alex

 

[Clouder]

@KlutcH , I've tried that Zyban and there another one, forgot the name now... It didn't work for me
I'll just keep vaping until I'm off it!!

i smoked a pack a day Stuyvesant red for 10 years since college. Before that there were a few cigarettes in school but nothing too serious. since vaping i havent touched a stinky

I actually wanted to open the same thread, even though I vape and have great juice i still smoke in between sometimes (3-5 a day). And when i smoked i had a box a day (20+) Stuyvesant filters. When i just started vaping i quit the day i bought my Penny mod and Kanger Tank (The big one) it lasted 3 months without a hitch and then one night had a few drinks, misplaced my mod and woke up smoking the next day. Since then its been a few a day while vaping.

At this moment in time ive been off the stinkies for 3 days and just vaping, im going to do it the free will way this time. If i can get past the first week it will be easier and when week 2 comes i will say the same thing until i dont feel like ever touching that shit again! Its hard but maybe just dont smoke.

A trick i learned the past 3 days - only vape when you feel like a smoke. Its helping me a lot.

Marlboro red or aspen when money was low. Anywhere from 10/15 and on weekends a box a night or more. Once the beer hits your lips....

Edit : I could not just sit and talk to friends so I would chain smoke

Lucky I am off the stinkies now

 

[Riaz]

I used to smoke about 15+ cigs a day- stuyvesant filter

 

[rogue zombie]

I started smoking, pinching Paul Revere's or Camel Filter's here and there from my dad when I was in std 6. Stopped until I was writing Matric finals.

After school Peter Stuyvesant Extra Mild. Started on 20, by the time I quit between 30-40. Smoked in total for around 20 odd years.

 

[Andre]

Dunhill Infinite Lights at a rate of at least 80 per day in the end. Around 38 years of smoking. Tried all the other stuff - hypnotism, gum, acupuncture, all the pills (except the "suicide" one), etc. Tried the first few versions of the Twisp without success. When I got the right gear and high nic (36 mg, I kid you not - now on 12 mg), stopped smoking within a week - was just going to give it a try - no expectations. More than 2 years later and have not touched a stinky since.

Started smoking at varsity - 2002. I was on 20-30 cigs a day. Started off buying different brands every day just for variation, but settled on Marlboro Gold and later moved on to Pall Mall (Princeton) blue. Smoked a lot of Dunhill in Zambia in 2012 (dirt cheap there!) and went through a couple of phases where Camel (filters and lights) were my poison of choice.

I smoked a pack a day of Stuyvesant Extra Mild for 12 years

I was a smoker for 27 years and a chain smoker for the last 20 on average 40+ a day started on gunston plain went to texan then chesterfield the last few years was embassy red coz it was cheap started on a twisp it sucked got good advice got the subox mini and now 5 months stinky free

 

[johan]

Smoked +/- 40 Marlboro Gold
2 pack (mixed) pipe tobacco per month
+/- 10 cigars per month
Duration: 39 years (started early teens)
Some will power, 36mg Nic e-juice in beginning and encouragement on this forum, took me about 5 days to get rid of the stinkies. @Clouder don't hit yourself too hard - if you feel like you have to smoke NOW or you kill someone, light up a Winston, but keep on vaping, over time the smokes will start to taste k@k. It takes longer for some than others. Being active on the forum certainly helped me tremendously during the first tough month. Set short goals for yourself, even if you have to start with short 1 hour intervals. You can even start a thread like: "@Clouder's Progress" for an example and post daily in the thread.

I started out on camel lights, a pack a day, changed to Stuyvesant menthol 30 a day when I lived in the UK, got to Aus (stinkies are fooooken expensive there) smoked 10 -15 there. Got back to SA back on 20 a day. Slowly tapered it down to about 10 a day, more when I went out tho. I picked up my tiny Istick 10v and since then I have had one drag on a cig and threw it away. I am over stinkies, I cant stand them at all anymore, I have already converted my brother, mum and we are working on converting a friend now.

I have already converted my brother, mum and we are working on converting a friend now.

Out of everyone I converted, about a handful, only 1 still vapes. I noticed that if you don't progress with your gear, it doesn't stick.

I used the Evod battery for about 3 weeks before I got my beloved Spinner 2's for the extra boost.

 

[Petrus]

Camel Lights. On a good day 30 odds. On a bad day 40..I smoked for 19 years. Try to quit on Zyban for 6 months. Tried Champix..did not help. Tried the twisp clearo....did not help. Joined Ecigssa 5 months ago meet good people got the right gear...quit.

 

[korn1]

Tried Champix

Heard that stuff can make some people depressed / 'crazy'

I tried this and it helped until I went to oppikoppi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Easy_Way_to_Stop_Smoking

so was it sit and talk with friends while drinking or in general that brought out the chain vaping....
