Hola Frankie

We ran this through our native English team and they can't see any incorrectness in the translation used "Since when have you smoked?" as an equivalent of "How long have you smoked?". We are using "since when...?" to reflect more literally what we use in Spanish: "Desde cuando...?"

Saludos
