Default How long do valve stems seals last?

Right how long should the valve stem seals last in a rst its a 2.1ZVH was only rebiult around 8 months ago with a full head rebuild i use the car everyday around 40miles a day. and it has started to smoke on start up in the mornings and then again when i leave work 9 hours later. It is only one puff then it clears, it doesn't smoke on overun or boost the turbo was re-conditioned at the same time as the engine rebiuld???

CVH valve stems are wank anyways- from memory they're about 20p each- explains it all... a little lubrication wont hurt either.
