Google says 6.5 trillion are sold each year so roughly you have not smoked 6.5 x 8 yrs = 52 trillion cigarettes (approx). Well done.

Nope!

Nope

I'm no math-a-magician, but I can do a bit of figuring. At 3 years, 6 months, and 15 days quit and considering that I smoked a minimum of 25 cigarettes per day that gives me a number of 32,375 cigarettes not smoked. However, that's not the whole story. I was still a drinker when I quit. When I was drinking, I mean really drinking, it wasn't unusual for me to smoke more than two packs in a day. So, adjusting my number for alcohol induced inflation brings my total estimated current count to... 38,255

Here is mine

Positively NOPE !!!!!!!!

NOPE

You Bunch of window lickers never remember my quit day. This ain't the first time...You know I had to quit to be a member? Think I was born a quitter? No!

NOPE!

My ticker's broken and hasn't worked for months now when I did have it. I'll make another one later to see what my count is. I m sure it's a few!

Not sure what my ticker says until I post lol - gosh I am nerdy! Sorry Mightyboosh! But whatever that count is, I am very proud of it you should be too!

ALL of them. The Sarge has NOT SMOKED every last cigarette manufactured, world wide, since he quit. Each and every one. Everywhere. ALL of them. EZPZ

I'm a Nopester.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nopers

G’day NOPE is just that

Well Duh! Congratulations on your 7 years quit.

NOPE...

150,883

You've hit the bullseye of early quit! Time standing still, ready to explode on anybody and everybody, mind on the spin cycle. Embrace the suck because it's all temporary. Better days are coming - stay quit!! As one of our noble members once said; "You can't stop the waves but you can learn to surf!" So, get your board out @mrsguest ..... Surfs Up

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

that's impressive!

you will have to put this ∞ after the big number, mighty one, to accomodate Sarge's contribution.

@mrsguest 145 for you. I think I'll do a running total instead. 44,598 so far.

low-balling @ 43,800

I got to come home early today, as there was a ton of people there today! Plus there's a bit of a long story behind it - I have a worker's comp case open, I will explain it one day! Here's my pic:

I don't remember ciggie ads on the telly but I do remember billboards and magazine ads. The one day cricket series used to be called the Benson and hedges but it got renamed and racing cars used to be sponsored by tobacco companies but not down here since I was a kid.

Gday

NOPE

THANK YOU BROTHERS AND SISTERS

Congrats, Bakon! Seven years quit is super sensational! Go ahead and celebrate this unforgetable milestone and KTQ!

I do not have the words to say how sorry I am. You have been such a leader (and a crush!) for me since I quit. I feel like I know you and your beautiful bride! Egg for life! And, by the way, when did you last start a celebration thread?

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaawwww, I love you peeps so much. Sorry I'm Sooooooo late to respond, life just seems to be running away with me these days. Sazerac, I sure do continue to reward myself and I'm still carrying my mental balloons because I will never forget my battle and the reasons why I will never go back..

His number may skew your research - lol. Mine number is coming up at 24,203 at this minute. Now, I'm gonna watch my ticker for a day or two. I bet it does not change at all - wait and see.

You might want to add mine ..

Here's mine!

NOPE!

I googled this and didn't realise it was so recent that it was allowed on F1 cars. Just think of how much lobbying and kicking and screaming the tobacco companies did as they saw their ads being banned all over the place. I remember the snooker World Championships being sponsored by Benson and Hedges and the players lighting up during broadcasts. "The advertising of cigarettes on Formula 1 cars has been banned since 2008. The 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix was the last time the Marlboro logo was seen on a Ferrari F1 car."

You'll do fine mrsguest, because you want this Your pic didn't post but I did assembly work years ago so I know how monotonous it can be.

One thing I would like to do that I've never done...Scuba diving. I love the water. I'm fascinated by the fact that there is a whole world below the surface that I've barely seen. And it seems like the whole deal would be incredibly relaxing, just swimming and having a look around at all the coral and animals.

Yesterday I was browsing around on amazon video and stumbled across a nostalgia video made up entirely of old time commercials from the 50s, 60s, and I believe the early 70s. There were several smoking ads included. I got to admit that the animated marching Lucky Strikes was entertaining. There were quite a few for Newport’s (which must have been new at the time, I even vaguely remember seeing those as a child) if if you want to see brazen, hard sell ads for cigarettes look no further than those old American TV commercials

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were brutal ads for sure, in terms of what we now know. At the time though, the truth was just beginning to be discovered. Have you watched these yet mighty? If not be sure you do. Pretty unbelievable stuff
