Cigarette Smoking Thread.

[Fascist Frederick]

How can you prove that anyone who smoked and got lung cancer wouldn't have gotten lung cancer anyways without the cigarettes? Checkmate.

Also if you roll with a filter, you are 100% attracted to the same gender

That's... Old School!

Only ever bought packs of Drum rolling baccy or loose Cherry menthol floured baccy from the shop. Most of the time I'd buy whatever I could get from smugglers mostly Turner rolling tobacco or Lambert & Butler, though sometimes I'd end up with weird foreign shit I've never seen before.

The people I'd always buy off have quit smuggling or moved away and bongstani tobacco taxes are absurd (800-900%) so I vape now.

I miss my unfiltered Luckies. Never found another smoke like them.

 

[Rancid Flid]

I only smoke roll-ups these days & my brand of choice is Cutters Choice or Golden Virginia if Cutters is not available. I hate filters, they're gay & I always use a cardboard roach.
After smoking for several decades, I made a piss poor attempt at giving up a few weeks ago but failed miserably when I got desperate & removed the ashtray from the car & made roll-ups out of the old butts. Grim, I know.

The first fag of the day is the best one for me, I always smoke after eating & while I can manage to go a couple of hours without smoking, when I'm drinking alcohol, I can almost chain-smoke them.

Haven't smoked a straight cigarette for a few years, they just seem too dry after smoking rollies but I used to like American cigs. Marlboro Red & Lucky Strikes were my faves with Camels an option for a change of taste. They're just too expensive in the UK now, 20 Marlboro Red costs around £ 11.50, which is about $ 14.50. How much do these cost in the USA ?

$7-$8 in Michigan. If I was still smoking and getting hit up for nearly $20 a pack it'd be torch-and-pitchfork time. I mention the state only because taxes make shit vary wildly here. When I was in Pennsylvania for business a few months back it was over $10 a pack there.

Christ, Americans get smokes cheap. It's like 15 dollars a pack where I am for the shitty stuff like LD or Pall Mall.

Cigs are heavily taxed here in the UK, which has had the result of creating a huge black market for imported smokes. The trouble is, there are a fair few fakes being sold among these, made in China I think & they taste disgusting. Our government are always pushing for people to give up smoking but the tax revenue on sales for them is vast. If they really wanted us all to stop, they'd make all fags taste like the fake ones.

"Fake cigarettes" is a concept I'd expect to find in a Gibson novel, not Current Year. Fuck, that's awful.

Fake, brand name alcohol is a bit of a problem here too. Usually vodka made by East European gangs.

It's at least 10+ dollars a pack for the cheap stuff here where I live, in my pocket of America.

Unimaginative, "Tax The Poor" state, but I digress. You must be Aussie/Kiwi, talking in Dollars.

Cigarettes might be $20 in CA or NY, Fuck if I know, I don't live there (Thank God.) It's bad enough, where I'm at.

They're much cheaper, in tobacco states like VA or NC.

EDIT: I pay about US $11.50 for a pack of Marlboro Light 100s, and about $13.80 for Camel Non filter.

Nah. I live in your hat. They even took away menthols and flavoured cigarillos. I was a princess and used to smoke menthols. Now I vape like a faggot. Fucking nanny states. You can get cheap cigrits on reserves, 10 bucks for a bag of 200 usually but they taste like piss.

You don't know where I'm at, and I don't know where you're at. And that's good. But I believe you. They're tryiing to outlaw vaping/menthol cigs where I'm at, now!

Somewhere where we say sorry a lot and we burned down the White House once.

Their argument for banning them here is the tried and tested: FOR THE CHILDREN horse shit. According to some, menthols and flavoured things were made just to get kids addicted to smoking as young as possible because... reasons?

 

[RadicalCentrist]

I quit but smoked on and off for maybe a decade. Marlboro Lights, Camel Turkish Silvers or, when I was feeling really fancy and pretentious, Djarum Blacks.

And I looked upon you and I knew you were my nigga. Speaking of, we have literally Obama to thank for Djarums getting banned. Not the change I voted for asshole.

EDIT: I pay about US $11.50 for a pack of Marlboro Light 100s, and about $13.80 for Camel Non filter.

Jesus Christ. I pay $4.50 for Marlboro Light 100's so long as I buy three packs, $5.50 if single. What hellholes do you faggots live in?

Wanna mail me some? You can buy 9 packs of your packs for 1 pack here in Milkbagistan. Fuck.

Not Kentucky/Ohio/West Virginia/Virgina/North Carolina, Obviously.

I knew a guy who knew a guy who worked in a packing factory and got huge bags of Cutters for next to nothing. When that ended I smoked Golden Virginia like a train. I was hopelessly hooked on rolling: not just the nicotine but all the associated rituals. Now I vape like a huge faggot.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

I like old Camels/Lucky Strikes.

Do you like MREs? Would you call instant coffee nice?

With all the "OMG SMOKING IS BAD" shit out there has anyone ever run the numbers on how much you can smoke without being likely to suffer the ill effects? I mean 1 cig a day isn't going to kill you. What about 2? 3? There must be a magic number.

It's three, it's the equivalent of living in a city where you are already breathing in tons of shit like particles of torn up asphalt, exhaust, tire particles and so on. It isn't just the risk of lung cancer but overall health.

I used to hand roll and when drunk as fuck in bars they sometimes came out a bit misshapen, the door men or (rarely) the police sometimes took issue with the form of my cigarettes when I stepped outside to smoke, but it was just tobacco.

 

[Terminus Est]

I quit smoking. Used Champix
