Smoked throughout my 20s in the 1990s. Was off-and-on throughout my 30s in the 2000s. By the time I reached my 40s in the 2010s I was just over it. That said, I have picked it up two or three times since then (I’m 56 now) but put it down after one to three months. Always pick it back up during times of great depression and financial hardship - the worst time to smoke ironically. My husband is similar but gets hooked much more often and much more severely. Smokes for a month or two and then transitions to vaping for three to six months, lowering the nicotine until he’s eventually vaping no nicotine. Goes a couple of years and then rinse and repeat.
