Well done Pirate Mr B gave up about 15 years ago , after smoking about 40/50 a day for nearly half a century 

I have never smoked and I hardly ever drink - meagre takings from my jar. It might run to a sandwich.......after a year or two!

Personally I have never smoked and like you got bored of alcohol about 5 years ago, now having just an occasional beer when out having a meal.

Well done on beating the cigs  - now if I were you I would try and get off the e-cigs too.

This song should be an inspiration to all those giving up the booze. 

Well done on giving up the ciggies, Pirate. 

I've never smoked and I don't drink alcohol.

Well done Pirate

I've stopped smoking my pipes - almost

It was a daily thing then I bought some Peterson's Hyde Park and although it is delicious the batch I received was a major let down - over dry me thinks.

And so I stopped - losing interest and desire to keep on searching for the right tobacco (and the cost)

PLUS the potential damage to my teeth!!!

I will never fully stop - unless I have a health scare <<< what a ridiculous thing to say.

But pipe smoking is more like a hobby - I was never addicted

Now it's become an event type thing ... birthdays and Xmas/New Year 

I DO KNOW the mark up on vaping is HUGE

I stopped five years ago and vape, although not as much as I did in the early years, hmm I will try with the booze   although I will be the first to admit I am not good at multitasking

Nope cant say I have and I smoked in my teens but gave it up 

I don't smoke and go for a pint once a month on average these days.

I think giving up my mobile for a month would be a real challenge though!

I think it's great you are reducing under vape. If you could possibly reduce the frequency of use over time you may eventually be free of everything.
