@Weedfarmer: I smoked more than a pack a day for two decades, also since High School.  Tried to quit and just couldn't.  Not smoking made me miserable, even when it had been two years without one!  So at some point, knowing I was going to relapse again, I started vaping and haven't had a cigarette in the years since, or missed them.  What I recommend is buying a decent vape  rig and juice - talk to one of the adults at a vape shop to see what might be best for you.  Familiarize yourself with how to work it, but don't start vaping- it'll be disappointing as a substitute.  Then choose some period to make the effort when you don't see any special stressors coming on.  Quit cold turkey and go as long as you can before resorting to the vape.  The longer you can go, the more the vape will seem like a god send.

And contrary to a lot of media panic you might read, the only harmful thing in it is nicotine; since vaping was invented in 2003 there's no hard evidence that it has detrimental effects.  In expansive studies that (unlike US ones) weren't influenced by any agenda UK National Health called vaping for smoking cessation the biggest opportunity to increase public health in a century.
