What brand of Cigarettes do you smoke?

[seg4527]

Personally, I prefer Winston. If you're going to poison yourself, you may as well do it the all-natural way.

Once in a while, I buy some Camels, though. My boss tells me that they are the best cigarette ever made, and he usually bums some off of me.

How about you?

[Pacifist Patriot]

1. I will do whatever it takes to get you and anyone else to quit.

[sadinred]

13. tell me my heart will stop beating itself like crazy in my chest!!!!

2nd day no smokes.
trying very hard to quit.
Help?

[Pacifist Patriot]

19. It will, but it's not instantaneous.

[smbolisnch]

26. I am a former smoker.

And a respiratory therapy student. I can tell you two things. First, it WILL get better. Usually, it takes about a week for the bad cravings to stop.....and they will, I promise. The second thing I can tell you is that I have seen people in horrific agony with tubes coming from every which way, who can't even inhale enough air to produce a cough, all from smoking. It's just NOT WORTH IT. You will get through it!

[seg4527]

22. I'm actually going to have to quit

I'm soon moving to Minnesota to be with my girlfriend, and I'm quitting when I get there.

I've only been smoking for about 4 months, so hopefully it won't be that hard. Depending on the day, I have everywhere from zero to nine.

[Pacifist Patriot]

27. Send me a PM when you have the urge and I'll be happy to

reply with a cyberslap and no-calorie lollipop. Good luck!

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Sigh!

On a discussion forum? In THE LOUNGE? Puhleaze!
The Professor

[Pacifist Patriot]

32. Puhleaze! What?

[ProfessorGAC]

33. Think About It

The Lounge hardly seems an appropriate place for proselytizing. Most of us are here to unwind, not read a lecture.
The Professor

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. Who lectured? Get a grip.

The OP wasn't offended.

[Runcible Spoon]

66. ALL RIGHT! I KNEW someone was going to pay off my student loans!

I'll PM you my bank account info, and fax you friend/family testimonials to my quitting. Thanks! You're a pal!

[ixion]

2. I switched to American Spirits about three years back

and I've stuck with them. Up until that point, I was a Camel smoker. I think American Spirits are much better. ;-)

[greeneyedpookie]

40. Same here

but it was a year ago when I switched.

GEP

:bounce:

[Champ]

3. I hardly smoke cigarettes

But I do smoke Captain Black Sweets and Middleton's Black and Milds occassionally.

[Ravenseye]

4. Camel Lights Hard Pack

I tried switching to American Spirts awhile back but they could be hard to find, and were more expensive. I wouldn't have minded paying the price for them, but when I couldn't find them, and I"d buy some other cigarettes they'd taste all chemically and bad. Including Camel Lights.

I need to quit soon though. Most of the time I don't want to smoke anymore, so hopefully I can make it happen.

[Jessica]

5. When I smoke - it's P-Funks all the way.

[goodboy]

38. when I smoke, it's parliament lights...without a doubt.

i should say, I'm an occasional smoker anyway...maybe on a night out, but not regularly....

[cheezus]

6. the homemade kind that don't have tobacco in them

:)

[da_chimperor]

7. Gauloises . . . they're french.

And the occasional pack of american spirits for a treat.

[On the Road]

16. Don't Tell Me You Smoke Galoises!

Oh, that's right, you live in the Netherlands. In the US, it's sometimes considered pretentious.

As I understand it, Galoises use to be the prefered brand of French Marxist intellectuals who were trying to appear proletarian by smoking a blue-collar cigarette. Then American intellectuals started imitating the French Marxists.

What I think is funny are "Galoise Blondes" -- I guess they're the light version. Seems to go against the brand image.

[da_chimperor]

42. Wow, I didn't know that

You learn something new every day. And no, I'm not pretentious, I just like the cigarettes. :)

[On the Road]

46. No,You're Fine

Living in Europe completely absolves you. :)

But it does give some background. Galoises create a very strong image, at least over here.

[Magrittes Pipe]

47. Gitanes are better. Sans filtre, bien sur.

[Padraig18]

8. Pall Mall Red filters.

Kings or 100s, both are fine.

[seg4527]

17. Pall Mall is also a good cigarette

My friend switched to them after bumming one off me once.

[Padraig18]

24. $24.90/carton, including tax, here in IL.

They're frequently less expensive than generics, too.

:)

[ridgerunner]

50. They run $14-$16 in Kentucky n/t

[AlCzervik]

9. Parliment light soft pack

[sadinred]

10. Oh what awful torture! Until two days ago (very sad) I smoked

Marlboro Ultra Lights 100...lot's of them, everyday.

Now I smoke nothing.

:nopity: :cry:

[NoPasaran]

11. Whatever the person I'm bumming them from smokes n/t

[sniffa]

12. american spirts menthoLs

green box

[CaptainCorc]

14. Tailor mades having become too expensive....

I now roll my own using Tops.

[underpants]

15. Marlboros

To 7-11 clerks "No not Marlboro LIGHTS, Marlboros....see the RED one that says Marlboro and doesn't say Marlboro Lights???"

[On the Road]

18. I Myself Have Had That Very Conversation in Those Exact Words

[underpants]

43. A pack of Marlboro's please.....Marlboro Lights?

No....

Luckily at the corner store I just say "Reds" for me and "Whites" (M Lights for my wife) but that is all changing on Monday.

[seg4527]

25. Workers you screw up cigarette purchase suck

I once wanted a pack of Blend 27's, and got a pack of ultra lights instead. I smoked two, yelled something to my friend about them not having any nicotine, and threw them away.

[msgadget]

20. Hippy, liberal, tree-huggin' Democrats don't smoke cigarettes

in public.

[devilgrrl]

21. American Spirit Ultra-Light

:shrug:

[youthere]

23. I only smoke

salmon...non filters.

[Abelman]

28. Basic Menthol Ultra Light 100s

Nah, I'm just kidding. I don't smoke.

[TX-RAT]

29. Haven't smoked cigarettes in over 25 years.

I smoke cigars.
Punch Elites Maduros
Punch London Club Maduros
Hoyo de Monterey Sabrosos
Sancho Panza La Manchas

[seg4527]

30. I've smoked cigars

But I don't get any effect from them. I've read the relaxing effect you get is different, but I didn't get any. Maybe I just smoked them wrong though.

[TX-RAT]

35. Most people smoke cigars to fast.

they get hot, burn un-even and will eventually taste bad. Light them evenly and take your time. Don't mess with cheap cigars, always get good hand rolled.
Some people inhale, I've never been able. Most of the brands i smoke are just to strong.

[THUNDER HANDS]

36. O2 Light 100's

nuthing but fresh O2 for me!

...for the last three weeks, two days and 45 minutes

[Boswells_Johnson]

37. Benson & Hedges

[northzax]

39. American Spirit Yellows

[Taverner]

41. Buds Light and Aculpulco Golds

:smoke:

[Droopy]

44. Marlboro Menthol Light

Hard pack please.

[Magrittes Pipe]

45. Kentucky's Best.

Mmmmmmm.

[ridgerunner]

51. I switched to Kentucky's Best recently

I was smoking Camel Lights, Kentucky's Best are much better, plus you actually support Kentucky farmers and not big tobacco. Plus $14 a carton doesn't hurt, although the only shop in town that sells them is also the most expensive. Maybe I can get them cheaper in Louisville hmmmm

[Kazak]

48. Kicked it....

four years ago, and wouldn't go back.

(Camel Lights when I did.)

[blockhead]

49. Winston

and every other one by RJ Reynolds are non-union. I boycott them.

[CornField]

52. When I did smoke, my favorites were Dunhill

They were too expensive for everyday smokes, so I typically ran with Winstons or Pall Mall.

[bigwillq]

53. Newport Lights (nt)

[Catchawave]

54. Merit 100 lights...cheaper than Xanax :) n/t

[Spider Jerusalem]

55. Dunhills...

Camel Lights when those aren't available.

[Placebo]

56. Marlboro Lights

[LynneSin]

57. George Bush & The Repukes thank you all for smoking!!

http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus.asp?Ind=A02

[Placebo]

60. There's always SOMEONE who throws that in.

Thanks for sharing.

[LynneSin]

61. Well, I figured the story of my father dying of Lung Cancer was old news

I mean, who needs to hear how a 14 year old girl lost the love of her life because of his addiction?

[Placebo]

65. Didn't mean to offend.

Sorry for your loss.

[212demop]

58. Marlboro Lights, but when I went on a date last week and he saw a pack in

my bag it was all over and I realized I might need to quit for the sake of my love life. Not for this guy (though as he went in for the kiss he said, "Is this going to taste like an ashtray?" I said, "What makes you think you're tasting anything tonight?" Still...) but b/c my choices are already pretty limited in Manhattan (single, straight, honest, intelligent, humorous- that's already asking a lot), and I can't afford to limit them more by requiring they be tolerant of my smoking as well, can I? I mean I'm 32 for God's sake. I'm attractive. There's no reason for me to be single. Why have a strike against me before I'm even up at bat?

But God. I really enjoy every single cigarette. Less so, I'll admit since they put this fire safe paper in, but still...

[sir_captain]

69. Yeah, honestly

as a single male in Manhattan, I think it really is going to be a problem for you... It seems like no one here smokes anymore, you know?

Though then again, it really ought not to be a dealbreaker!

[212demop]

71. Are you a non-smoker? Would you consider it a dealbreaker? n/t

[sir_captain]

72. Yeah, I don't smoke

And I dunno. I'd like to think that I'm capable of judging people independent of their smoking habits. But it certainly wouldn't be a turn-on.

[donheld]

59. Smoke? are you f*cking joking

:spank::spank:

[trof]

62. Just love the comments of the anti-smoking Nazis here.

Jesus Keerist On A Crutch.
The guy just asked what brand you smoked.
If you smoke.
Go bug fundies or something.
Capri 120 menthols.
:grr:

[LynneSin]

63. No, we bug you!!

Because we love you and want you around for a long long time!

Love, your anti-smoking Nazi (odd you call us Nazi when cigerettes have killed more folks than us anti-smoking folks) friend!

[Longgrain]

64. Take it out side guys...

Unfortunately, smoking is illegal in Lounges in Massachusetts.

[Placebo]

67. Damn libruls!

Always wantin' more GUVMENT! And damn those activist judges too! Damn them to blazes and eternal damnation!

[Longgrain]

70. LOL

Maybe that wonderful Conservative Gov. of ours will clean things up;)

[proud2BlibKansan]

68. GPC

That stands for Good People's Cigarettes

[medeak]
