1. I quit smoking in Jan 2016, started vaping in Feb 2016.
2. Yes, vaping exclusively.
3. Vaping exclusively since Feb 2016
4. I only took one attempt to give up smoking. Well, since I quit in 2016. Prior to 2016, I tried to quit several times unsuccessfully. As the old saying goes, "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I've done it dozens of times."
5. There isn't one because I haven't reverted to cigarettes once since quitting in 2016.
6. I don't know. Ultimately, I'd like to but I'm kinda into it now, what with podcasts and DIY mixing and all. It would be an awful shame to chuck out all those concentrates and all the knowledge I've accumulated in my DIY journey. So I guess I may continue, just at the lowest nic level where there is actually a point to continue vaping.
