What brand of ciggerettes do you smoke? (if any).

I'm interested to see if it varies between nationalities,sex, region,ect.

I don't smoke, it's a stupid thing to do.

i dont smoke its a sin

I smoke because I am both stupid and sin tastes delicious.

I smoke American Spirits.

i dont smoke its a sin

No it's not.

I smoke because I am both stupid and sin tastes delicious.

I smoke American Spirits.

Ain't heard of them. Import?

Well, I dont smoke cigarettes anymore, when I did, I smoked Marlboro Menthols...

Ill still hit up a good Cigar every now and then, but I think the last time I actually had one was in December and I really havent had the urge as of late...

American Spirit

What has stopped you from including at least one decent brand?

i dont smoke its a sin

yYu don't smoke cos you're like 10 and your parents don't let you.

yYu don't smoke cos you're like 10 and your parents don't let you.

Whereas at 15 your parents are perfectly happy with you wrecking your life?

Unfortunately I dont think that stops many 10 year olds really...

What has stopped you from including at least one decent brand?

Sorry, what would you rather have on it.

Ain't heard of them. Import?

For you they would be. Theyre an American brand and I dont think theyre big enough to be mulit-national.

Ain't heard of them. Import?

Not if you're in America.


I smoke Schimmelpinnicks when I have the money. They're cigars, not cigarettes, but they're cigarette size, so I can have a cigar with the cigarette smokers and not be left standing on my own for the remaining 44 minutes while I finish it.

Whereas at 15 your parents are perfectly happy with you wrecking your life?
Firstly, it's parent. And secondly, I don't see any correlation between smoking and wrecking my life.
Unfortunately I dont think that stops many 10 year olds really...

Didn't stop me.:p
But admitidly I wasn't 10.

Not if you're in America.

Man, I always see people smoking those, and Im all, thats really cool, cause I prefer Cigars, but have the same problem...

Yet, I never see them for sale anywhere, leaving me all :confused:

I find it harder to buy bigger cigars than cigarette sized ones.

D'you get your cigs from an off-licence or a supermarket?

In the states, cigarette prices just got jacked up again, so Im quiting, however.

Really!? That is weird...Maybe its cause alot of the major Tobacco Farms dedicated to Cigars are in the US and Central America...


unfortunately, we still cant get Cubans...

I doubt any supermarket chain would serve a 15 year old somehow.

I don't see any correlation between smoking and wrecking my life.

Smoking kills you, there's your correlation.

If the only thing Obama does during his presidency is end the trade embargo on Cuba, thus allowing me to get Cubans, I will consider his presidency a success.

I've never tried a Cuban. Is it ilegle here too?

Why can't you get them?

I've never tried a Cuban. Is it ilegle here too?

No. Unless Brown all of a sudden decided the Cold War was still on.

Why can't you get them?

America has a trade embargo with Cuba.

Smoking shortens your life, it does not ruin the life you have though.

HERE, HERE!!

We've had a Trade Embargo on them since Castro took over...

Rather retarded, cause we'll trade with damn every other Commie, but, Castro seems to get Republican panties in a wad...

Smoking shortens your life, it does not ruin the life you have though.

Unless you end up with that hole in your throar.

America has a trade embargo with Cuba.
Still!? I thought ice had started to melt.

Still!? I thought ice had started to melt.

Everytime it starts, a Republican gets elected. And democrats dont have the balls to create immediate change because then they loose the anti-commie hick voting block and the Cuban-American immigrant voting block.

Man, I always see people smoking those, and Im all, thats really cool, cause I prefer Cigars, but have the same problem...

Yet, I never see them for sale anywhere, leaving me all :confused:

You generally have to go to a dedicated cigar store to find them. When I was living in the mountains I was able to convince the liquor store that had a humidor to carry them. I don't know how big the cigar thing got elsewhere, but here (Northern California) it was big enough that about half the liquor stores have a humidor and you can at least get a dried out Macanudo at 7-11.

Or you can buy them in bulk online if you have the up front cash and a humidor of your own. I haven't done that myself yet, I kind of use the hassle of availability to mitigate my usage.

The only time I've run into someone who even knew what they were, though, it was dutch guy. So clearly there is somewhere near you to get some if you're running into people smoking them all the time.

Smoking shortens your life, it does not ruin the life you have though.

Unless you get cancer. Or people start avoiding cause you stink etc.

Unless you end up with that hole in your throar.

True, but I intend to quit long before then.

True, but I intend to quit long before then.

Wait for the UK to raise the tax again, making cigarettes about $7 a pack. Thatll encourage you to quit real fast.

It did for me:(

Unless you get cancer. Or people start avoiding cause you stink etc.

Nah, I hate the smell of smoke on myself. I pretty much always spray my self with deoderent after I've had one. Bet the ozone layers glad I don't smoke 50 a day.

True, but I intend to quit long before then.

Why not quit now?

What kind of animal are you?

I actually I hear that Cigars dont do you as bad...I figure its more than likely bullshit, but there ya go...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigars#Health_effects


The increased risk for those smoking 1–2 cigars per day is too small to be statistically significant, and the health risks of the 3/4 of cigar smokers who smoke less than daily are not known and are hard to measure; although it has been claimed that people who smoke few cigars have no increased risk, a more accurate statement is that their risks are proportionate to their exposure.

and of course it lists the laundry list of other health effects...Im waitin on my Electronic Cigars...

Small cigars cost far less than cigarettes, and perfectos are better in taste, if not in cost.

Unless you get cancer. Or people start avoiding cause you stink etc.

Right well, the cancer doesn't bother me, but arrogant douchebags with glass lungs avoiding me? I don't know if I can handle that.

I normally smoke Sobranie Black, but in this shithole they are quiet hard to find.
So I resort to "Dunhill International"

They raise it every year, it doesn't bother me atm cos I smoke bacci so I save money. I can't really aford to buy taylors cos I smoke to much.

Nah, I hate the smell of smoke on myself. I pretty much always spray my self with deoderent after I've had one. Bet the ozone layers glad I don't smoke 50 a day.

Yeah, but it hates you for all that Aerosol Chemical youre spraying in it :p...

Why not quit now?

Cos I enjoy smoking.

arrogant douchebags with glass lungs

Is that aimed at me?

Never heard of either. Where are you?

How many a day does everyone smoke? Im down to 2 a day.

Yeah, but it hates you for all that Aerosol Chemical youre spraying in it :p...

Lulz.

That's kinda what I ment. The ozone hates me cos not only do I smoke, I spray deoderent after each one.

Is that aimed at me?

It's aimed at anyone who is arrogant and douchebaggy enough to avoid a person based on something so petty as a common scent they find disagreeable.

How many a day does everyone smoke? Im down to 2 a day.

Depends really.

About 12-15 on a school day. More on a weekend.

I've got quite an addictive personality.

It's aimed at anyone who is arrogant and douchebaggy enough to avoid a person based on something so petty as a common scent they find disagreeable.

I personally avoid anyone who wears deoderient and bathes regularly.

Seconded.

How many a day does everyone smoke? Im down to 2 a day.

Less than 1 a day...It was like 1 or 2 a Month, but like I said, its been awhile.....

Im actually kinda craving one now, If only I didnt have four hours till I got off from Work...:(

Lol. That kinda figures.

Not me then, but to be honest I don't think you can blame some people for avoding certain smokers. My uncle, for instance.

Small cigars cost far less than cigarettes, and perfectos are better in taste, if not in cost.

Wow, I want to shop where you're shopping, because here I can pick up two and a half packs of Marlboros for the price of one tin of Schimmelpinnicks.

You're allowed to post at work!?

You'll notice No Names Left Damn It that I finally spelt allowed right, rather than writing aloud.

None. They are disgusting and unlike LSD, Pot, or illegal drugs (which I do NOT do either), there is no incentive to smoking them b/c you don't get any "high" off of them.

NPRO electric cigarette. Haven't had a real cig in over a month...

Never heard of either. Where are you?
Ireland.
Both are UK-brand Cigarettes.

You have obviously never smoked.

Smoking makes ya feel good.

Poll should be multichoice, neh? Who smokes just one brand? And where's Rothman's and Gauloise as options? Some amount of phail, imo.

Don't you have coffe (fag) breaks?

Sorry.

As I ain't heard of Rothman's and Gauloise it wont be on the poll.

You'll notice No Names Left Damn It that I finally spelt allowed right, rather than writing aloud.

Well done. Your spelling and grammar is absolutely fine now anyway.

Well, we dont really have breaks, but the whole job's prettymuch a break, when youre not taking calls you can prettymuch do whatever...

But, driving down to The Epitome for a Cigar is a little out of the question...

Sorry.

Shouldn't you be smoking some sort of pipeweed grown by hobbits or something anyway?

Well done. Your spelling and grammar is absolutely fine now anyway.

I'm not sure if that was sarcastic or not but... thanks. Actually I've been meaning to thank you. My spelling and grammar in everyday life has improved thanks to your former snipes. So thanks.

Ah, that's really funny.

I didn't choose the name. My brother originally set up the nation and got bored in a couple of days so I took over.

No problem. I did it with WMU too. I might sound like a whiny 80 year old at firs, but it helps in the end.

My spelling when I'm hand writing doesn't really matter cos you can't read. And when ever I was on a computer (pre NSG) I had words spell checker, so I didn't really need to think about it. But know I have to think, TY.

So, you aren't in Kent, either? That would explain not knowing Rothman's. Gauloises are continental, so I guess that's excusable. So . . . why not make your own country, with a name you admire and love?

Because I've kinda got attached to this one. And I don't want to lose my post count.

FFS, I was doing so well.
I hate how ironic I can be.

I'm surprised this got so many replies.

It's only what kind of cigarette you smoke.

American Spirit. We get them through the rez so they're cheap :P

I took up smoking in the fall for the fuck of it. Sometimes I don't smoke for a week or two, sometimes I smoke a cig a day, sometimes (when I'm drinking) I smoke six or seven. Meh.

American Spirit. We get them through the rez so they're cheap

Im jealous. I pay $7 a pack.

It can be done, truthfully, they have very little effect on me, besides a minor calming effect...

I mostly smoke the Cigars for the taste...

I'd probably be more surprised at what there addicted to.:p

Since her brand of chose is natural (in est, does not have loads of addictive chemicals put in it), this makes sense.

I guess it affects people in different ways. I know someone who started smoking on a 2 week holiday and when they got back they were on 20 a day.

Yeah, what they're addicted to indeed, (shouldn't have gotten me started man, lol)


Its mostly sex, alcohol, tobacco, and food...mainly sex, lol

Im jealous. I pay $7 a pack.
Way to kill my buzz.

I said, 'cheap', but it was a comparison. A regular pack of cigs here costs about $13. That's generally what I pay...unless I get cigs through the rez and then I'm paying about $7. Jerkface.

I smoked years ago, for about two years. I wasn't really a 'smoker' then either. I just smoked when I drank...though that ended up to be very often. My dad and my brothers are the same way. My dad won't smoke at all when he's home, but he'll smoke when he's up North working. My brothers smoke when they feel like it, then not when they don't, for months at a time sometimes.

I'm sort of like that with a lot of things. I consume a lot of something (spring rolls, alcohol, cheesy reggaeton music) over and over for a period of time, get sick of it and then don't touch it for an extended period.

I tend to crave cigs when I get really pissed off or stressed. It's less of a physical craving, and more of a psychological expression of said ire/stress.

I'm not sure how do they manage it so cheap, but it seems they do. Full price.

I used be able to get a 20 deck for £1.50 and sell it for allot more.

How much is 50g of tobacco in the US?

I voted other, because I don't smoke cigarettes, but not because I think it's filthy. I just prefer hookah.

Nah. Keep an eye on the GBPEUR. It's about 0.94 today.

I know the US doesnt do taxes on Goods sold over the Internet, most of the time anyway...

There some exception, but i cant remember what it is atm...

Quality costs money--just out of curiosity, what flavor was it? gumdrop? :D

There's the problem right there, anytime the cigar comes in a 'flavor' you're in trouble.

I am highly wary of cigarette taxes, and I do not smoke the things.

It's flavored tobacco. You smoke the pipe so that the smoke is cooled as it is drawn through water. I like the different flavors better than plain tobacco and I look the cool smoke.

I never repeated that mistake again...

No, he just thought I was new to cigars when I asked him to recommend me a brand. Maybe he just felt like ruining someone's day....:(

Hookah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah)

Typically Salems or Kools, but I've been on a Parliament kick lately. However, I've switched more to cigars, both for cost reasons (in per unit or qualitative cost) and because I enjoy appreciating the taste and flavor of well-prepared tobacco more than simply using it for a nicotine kick. However, nothing really comes close to enjoying a good smoke with a drink; the cigarette is better than cigar for that purpose.

But I'm not one to ever pass up on good tobacco in any form...

WTF?
Well, the lesser countries have a globe of the world and a map of their own land. The greater countries have a globe of themselves and a passing mention that something might exist outside but no one bothers to check.

These $0.60/pack cigs are from one of the greater countries.

Yeah, I did, the El Fuentes here are only available in Tobacco Shops, Black and Milds and Swisher Sweets are what they keep in Gas Stations and Supermarkets...

These $0.60/pack cigs are from one of the greater countries.
Countries still do that? Got I love ignorance and blind obedience.

Yeah, I did, the El Fuentes here are only available in Tobacco Shops, Black and Milds and Swisher Sweets are what they keep in Gas Stations and Supermarkets...

It would have been worse: you could have bought CVS El Cheapo (I made-up the brand name) cigars.


I wouldnt know, damn Trade Embargo *spits*...

Remember that if you are ever visiting Cuba, you can bring up to 100 back with you, provided you do not sell them.

Yeah, it's the same with me. Of course, I don't roll my own (I would, but Phillip Morris and Obama raised taxes on RYO so much that they cost more in taxes than the actual product) but I definitely know where you're coming from.

I've had more than a couple embarrassing incidents where I put the cigarette in the wrong way and lit the filter, wondering why it was not only literally on fire but tasted completely wrong.

And the pain made me gasp: I ended-up briefly inhaling a cigar. *cough* Luckily, none was watching, so my ego was preserved.

Bare people saw me, I was so embaresed.

Usually Marlboro Reds, Kamel Reds, Bronsons (cheap and gross, but they get job done), or Mavericks.

I don't like light cigarettes or menthols. Light cigarettes are weak and menthols are gross.

Unfiltered cigarettes are nice change of pace, also.

I actually have my own blend. (yah right, but it's all monogrammed and shit).

But I'm also a lazy fuck, so when I'm not in NY usually winston. (organic hi-tar).

I don't smoke, but if I did it'd be Lucky Strikes, the sponsors of the Jack Benny Show. "LSMFT: Lucky Strike means fine tobacco!"

Nah, lol.

I was at college in a very crowded place.

In which persons went about "bare"?

Never heard of any of these except Marlboros. When I smoke, I smoke Camels--Turkish Gold.

god, you are so very Californian :p

I took up smoking in the fall for the fuck of it. Sometimes I don't smoke for a week or two, sometimes I smoke a cig a day, sometimes (when I'm drinking) I smoke six or seven. Meh.

This. I go a few months without smoking, smoke for a week, go a few months without smoking, smoke every day for a month, go a few weeks, chainsmoke... Direct line drawn to how stressed I am.

You've been smoking for 6 months(ish) and you're not addicted?

Since her brand of chose is natural (in est, does not have loads of addictive chemicals put in it), this makes sense.

I'm not addicted, and I've smoked Camels on and off for years--I smoked daily for three or months at a time, no craving at all.

I don't resent that, but the good people of California do. They smoke American Spirits, Newports and Parlies mostly.

EDIT: The people I hang around, anyway. Not speaking for the whole state.

It relieves tension and I like the buzz. Why do I have to be addicted to smoke? I'm not an alcoholic, but I still drink sometimes.

I smoke Marlboro Lights, but if I can get them I'll smoke Camel Lights or Lucky Strike.

Marlboro menthol 100s or camel menthol 100s. ~$9 a pack here. That site is dirt cheap.I wonder how good Ukrainian tobacco is.

Lights? Don't your friends call you a pussy for smoking them? People often take the piss if ya smoke menthols. Don't know why though, different people like different cigarettes.

I've had Polish, and that wasn't great, so I guess that Ukrainian tobacco is much the same.

I suppose you're right. It just seems strange to me as I became addicted so quickly.

I once smoked 40 Marlboro Reds per day. I've slowly been cutting down, I'm currently on 10 Lights per day.

No, most people I know who smoke, smoke Lights, in one form or another. I think that might be an American thing - for one, Marlboro Lights don't have those funny white filters over here.

I smoke because I'm addicted, not for any pretentions of it being cool. I don't care about anyone else's opinion.

Smoking doesn't make you look coll, I never said it did. In fact it has become far less cool in the last 50 years.
I just don't like having the piss taken out of me for what kind of cigarettes I smoke.

Nope. Most ciggarette smoke, especially home rolled ciggarettes, already causes me mild to extreme discomfort second hand. I know a lot of people who do (aka my entire immediate family minus my sister and I)

Well, the government used to say: "a cigarette a day keeps the doctor away", and I'm not arguing.

I know only one brand of those listed in the poll. One of the brands I smoke, btw.

Just remember that more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette...

Personally, what I'd like to see are more smoking lounges. I don't care if people ask me to smoke outside or elsewhere...that's just politeness, but I want a good, solid bar where I can knock back a few drinks and share camaraderie with other smokers without having to worry about being a pain in the ass to someone else (provided they were there first) or getting fined by the nanny state for my decision to smoke. The market is definitely there for such places, so I see no reason why they shouldn't exist. I fully believe that it is up to private businesses and individuals to make that decision, although I do respect concerns about nonsmoking employees being unable to avoid secondhand smoke when working...that's why, again, I want to see free permits to allow businesses to allow smoking so long as they meet reasonable criteria for air quality (in the even that they're employing nonsmokers).

Give us places to enjoy tobacco, owned and operated by smokers (or nonsmokers who have no problem with it) and we'd leave everyone alone. It's that simple. If they gave us that, I would have no problem with smoking bans elsewhere, even in other bars and restaurants. However, too many assholes think it's their duty to stamp out an activity that has existed for thousands of years in the name of the Cult of Healthy Living (whose reward is a living death under the pall of dementia...) and so try to ban it altogether rather than accepting a real-world solution that lets everyone enjoy what they want to do without interference.

Don't you have a smoking ban?

I agree why should we be persecuted?

If a smoker wants to run a business that permits smoking and hires smokers, it's no concern of ours (non-smokers) whatsoever unless the smokers wish to hold us liable for their medical expenses through a form of taxpayer-funded universal health care.

Libertarian solution: Business owners can do what they want, customers can go there or not as they see fit, and no one else is expected to pay for their possible ailments.

I don't like secondhand smoke, but I can tolerate the occasional scent as I walk down the street. My only objection to public smoking was when the tobacco addicts would clog every single doorway at college with their dense clouds of smoke as they hurriedly got their hourly fix. I approve of the laws setting minimum distances between smokers and public building entrances. I only wish the college had set the policy instead of waiting for a law to be passed at the state level.

No I'm not. And I wouldn't be if they made smoking areas.

In the UK, apparently the tax on cigarettes equals the amout the NHS gets off the government. So my freind says that it is patriotic to smoke.

It ha nothing to do with self-disipline. Some people (like me) just enjoy smoking. It's sociable.

Actually, I take that back. I have met some who wont associate with smokers. Theyre just usually people I wouldnt want to associate with anyway.

I know, but some people can't stand to be around smokers, and I can't say I'll go out of my way to be with them.

I know, but some people can't stand to be around smokers, and I can't say I'll go out of my way to be with them.

Well, it is a free choice to associate with whomever you want. I personally feel that it should be irrelevant; I'll respect others' wishes not to smoke around them, but I also don't expect to be judged or treated differently because I do so. It's my choice, and I'm more than willing to accommodate others' wishes when possible; I wouldn't want to be forced to breath in automobile exhaust or paint fumes all the time, so I see no reason why it should be any different with tobacco. There are rude people on both sides, so it's hardly a one-sided issue...there's no real difference between a smoker that disrespects nonsmokers and a nonsmoker that disrespects smokers, even if the former attempts to justify it in terms of "freedom" and the latter in the terms of "healthy living".

It's the same philosophy behind my opinion on smoking bans. If a business wants to permit smoking, it should be allowed to do so but only if it makes it clear and unequivocal to its customers and (especially) employees that this is the policy. A person shouldn't be able to simply go in and light up without approval, nor should they be allowed to go in and demand that people stop smoking just because they don't like it. In places that the public has little or no choice but to use, governments should be free to regulate the extent to which smoking is permitted. And, of course, bars, restaurants or other entertainment venues are definitely not an essential service.

Long story short, everyone should try to respect the freedom of others as much as possible, be it freedom to smoke or freedom to not smoke and/or not be exposed to smoke.

I heard smoking affects your ability to spell "cigarette".

I don't smoke, it's a stupid thing to do.

I smoke and I do lots of other stupid things, as well.
