Have ever you been a smoker?

[Paul]

smoked for 15 years one to two marlboro red packs a day, since the 1st time I've put snus in my mouth, i 've quitted cigarrettes....

[RedMacGregor]

tried smoking when i was a kid... 10-15 years ago... made my way thru a pack of camels, and never went back to buy another pack.

i occasionally will pick up a pack for a party or something, but you can probably count on one hand how many cigarettes i've had in the past 5 years.

Smoked a pack a day for 8 years, quit June 09 thanks to snus

[CoderGuy]

Smoked 2 packs per day for 26 years. Started using electronic cigarettes in April 09 and quit smoking that day. e-cigs didn't satisfy me and after about 3 weeks I almost went back to smoking until Tobacco Bob turned me on to snus (thanks again Bob).

Haven't had the desire to smoke since.

Smoked for 15 years. Was up to 2-2 1/2 packs a day. Now I smoke a cigar once in a blue moon.

[Karanya]

Smoked 2+ packs a day for about 10 years. I still smoke, but not nearly so much, more lately though since I've had to drastically reduce my snuff usage for a while. Maybe half a pack right now, but my "new normal" is 2 to 3 cigs a day.

No desire to totally stop smoking, though. I'm happy with where I am now, and didn't get into alternative tobacco products in an attempt to quit smoking, just to cut down on costs and try something new.

Smoked for close to 2 decades. Quit with snus.
Tried a smoke on vacation in Europe after being entirely smokefree for 1 1/2 years and ended up smoking one to 5 a day for two weeks. Went back to snus until the next vacation in Vegas and ended up smoking close to half a pack a day for three days. Came home with a bad cold and bronchitis and went straight back to snus.

Something about these damn vacations that makes me smoke but when I am home I have absolutely no urge even being around many smokers.

Been smoking for 18years, about a pack a day ops:

Found snus 6 months ago and If I smoke 2 a day now, it's a rare occasion. I can breathe again. I can run again. Thank God

[Christi]

[deeanne59]

Smoked 2 packs a day for over 32 years. Started snus about 5 months ago.

[deadohsky]

About a pack a day for 5 or 6 years. Mostly quit when i got into snus. Still smoked when i drank. This last month i tripped and i smoked the entire month. Stopped again yesterday, and like the first time, effortless really.

Started smoking at 12, got my e-cig a month before my 48th birthday and stopped smoking on that day. The e-cig just wasn't cutting it and had read about snus on the e-cigarette-forum and ordered some. By New Years Eve this year I'd forgotten about the e-cig until I seen it mentioned on here, been a snuser ever since.
