eww None.

I recently had a roommate who found it appropriate to smoke cigarettes in my house! lets just say the stench lasted a lot longer then he did.

Shermans MCD


It's the way american spirits would taste if they ate steak and drank scotch.


Even *I* don't smoke in my house, and I live alone. Except for when Im in the bathroom taking a crap. smoking while shitting is awesome.

When in the states: american spirits (burns longer, more natural supposedly)
When in europe: benson and hedges (nice taste)

Sorry! I don't have a death wish, and that is why I don't smoke tobacco. If you smoke cigarettes you are either suicidal, or ignorant to a lethal degree. By the way, I need to know from any smokers. Why do you want to die 30 years early, in a very painful and expensive way that burdens everybody around you? If you want to kill yourself, why not just go jump off a bridge and be done with it? I just don't get it, they should be made illegal. It's too easy for corporations to exploit and profit off of the weak willed.

They're just providing a supply for a demand (that will always be constant, legal or not).  Do you really think that making something illegal reduces use?

What's your problem with consenting people choosing to harm themselves?  Why people do it is completely irrelevant.  It's not your choice to make.

Those are damned good cigarettes!  The illiterati refer to them as "Em-See-Dees", but the true Nat Sherman afficianado understands that the brand is actually called "1400s", MCD being the Roman designation for that number, which is the street address of the fine folks at the Nat Sherman company.  

I really like Export A, a Canadian brand, they taste good and they come 25 to a pack.  There used to be a drug store in SF that sold them cheap as part of a loss leader special they were always running.

Nat Sherman Classics are another fave, and the Nat Sherman Mints are a nice smoke on occasion.

Camels, the original nonfilter, are good, too, and I used to enjoy a filterless Pall Mall every now and then.

My usual smoke, however, is the discount Pall Mall filters--they are cheap and have a high nicotine content.  Love me some nicotine, yes I do.  Plus, RJ Reynolds sends me coupons every couple of months.  I called their 800 # and asked them if I had been getting defective cigarettes, since I have been smoking for a number of years and am still alive.  They didn't think that was too funny, but they send me propaganda and coupons every couple of months since then.

I recently tried some Camel Snus pouches that were given to me by a store clerk as part of a promotion, and enjoyed them very much.

I've been known to smoke a pipe, even for tobacco, and a couple of times a year I'll smoke a good cigar.

All this talk about nicotine makes me wanna smoke.........so I will.

Gotta die of sumthin'.

If you want to kill yourself, why not just go jump off a bridge and be done with it?

Because jumping off a bridge won't put me in flavor country.

oooo. awesome. did not know that. will now throw that around

Love love love export As. Havent had them in years. Can find them in almost any convenience store in my hood. (SF) Since tax is going up, I may have to switch to them, since Sherms are quite pricey.


One brand that is not available any more, that I used to smoke in college and miss terribly, are lucky strike filters. You can only find unfiltered nowadays. They discontinued the other kind. Guess it makes sense, since LS's are known for their lack of filters, but I still miss them.


BTW, have you seen those nat sherman.. what the fuck are they called? I think they're called "Fantasia" or some fruity shit like that. All of the cigs in the box are different colored. Aside from the packaging scheme, which is clearly targeted for the black drag queen audience and those who used to be addicted to fruit stripe gum as children.. not sure what else is special about them. But they are hellishly weird.

How morbidly amusing that people would declare loyalty to a corporation that is killing them, as well as profiting all the way to the grave.

LoL

Indeed, I don't understand the obsession with surviving to an old age... why? so you can hobble around confused and shitting yourself? or so your children can leave you to die in a smelly old nursing home? or are you more excited to live to see your grandchildren fighting over your life savings?

Naw I'd rather just knock off those last miserable thirty years and enjoy myself.

Just to clarify, I don't smoke cigarettes, but not because I'm against them, I used to, but I've just grown to find the taste and smell repulsive. Guess Ill have to find another way to slowly commit suicide.

YES! I remember the filters! Lucky Strike Filters are the first cigarettes I ever smoked... there's just something nostalgic about that brand now, but I wouldn't dare smoke a non filter, unless I was REALLLLLLY drunk.

Two old ladies were outside their nursing home, having a smoke when it started to rain. One of the ladies pulled out a condom, cut off the end, put it over her cigarette and continued smoking.

Lady 1: What's that?
Lady 2: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.
Lady 1: Where did you get it?
Lady 2: You can get them at any drugstore.

The next day ... Lady 1 hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The guy looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but politely asks what brand she prefers.

Lady 1: It doesn't matter as long as it fits a Camel.

You say that now, but wait until you are 55 years old. If you take care of yourself you won't be confused and shitting yourself well into your 80's. If you are so against shitting yourself and being confused ( remember that everybody was doing this when they were a baby!), then kill yourself at the first sign your mental state is going downhill. Watching your grandchildren argue over your life savings is worth killing yourself over in a painful way? Really??? How about hiring a good lawyer who draws up a descent will, that will solve the problem.

Do you think smokers find out they have lung cancer, accept responsibility for their decision to smoke, and just go shoot themselves in the woods? NO, of course not. They milk the taxpayer healthcare system for billions to prevent their imminent death a few more months, or even days. It's easy to say this when you are young, but in 20 years, smokers, you might be that person in the hospital bed, hooked up to tubes. You will be dying and your friends won't visit because they don't want to be around their dying friend, and you'll die all by yourself, comforted by the fact you "enjoyed life to it's fullest" (more like financed the good life of the non-smoking corporate owners of cigarette companies!)

Naw I'd rather just knock off those last miserable thirty years and enjoy myself.

Well if you consider inhaling 200 poisonous chemicals "enjoying yourself" then something is definitely wrong with you. If paying a company to poison you, and ultimately kill yourself is "enjoying yourself". then you are insane. If wheezing, coughing up black stuff and blood for decades is your idea of fun, then please don't invite me to any of your party's! If dying a long, slow and painful death in your late 40's or 50's is your idea of enjoyment, well.. you get the idea.

Let's weight the pros and cons

Pros of cigarette smoking
- You look cool (well at least the people who smoke think this, to everyone else you look stupid)
- You want to be anti establishment (school said dont smoke, so I will do it anyways! ya!)
- You really bought into the whole marlboro man cowboy thing
- You are a coffee shop type who wears a beree (sp?) , and smoking is part of your social costume
- You think it helps you stay thin, is your clever alternative to exercise
- It helps you "shit"

Notice I didn't say "the high". That's because you don't get any high from cigareettes. Yeah, maybe on the first couple of ones. But after that, the only reason you are smoking is to keep the uncomfortable withdrawl symptoms from taking effect. That is ADDICTION. Stop claiming you do it for the high, or enjoyment, or any other reason. You. Are. Addicted! Since you are in denial, and I know you dismiss this statement, let me say it again. You are addicted to a product that kills you, and you pay good money to the corporation who designs the product to be more addictive, appealing, and deadly. You are paying someone (although slowly) to poison you, which will end in death.

Ok. Now let's list some of the cons  :poison:  :poison:  :poison:  :poison:
- You can't run more than 20 meters without choking up flem
- You stink
- Your teeth look disgusting and your breath smells like a dead rat
- Cancer, heart disease, you know.. all those pesky little things that KILL YOU
- Lung Cancer (pretty much a given)
- Huge medical bills from all your medical problems that taxpayers pick up
(remember how femanon was talking about grandchildren) - well you don't have to worry about that, beacuse you'll die before you ever meet your grandchildren! :beat:
- It costs a lot of money you could spend on better things
- Your ciggarette butts pollute beaches and are gross and can start fires in homes when you fall asleep
- And to restate the obvious _ they will kill you and shave decades off your life __

Oh yeah, you're young and don't care. Live hard and die young!  :dose:       Come on! could you be any MORE ignorant sounding? life is precious, even if you havent realized it yet. Maybe you wont realize it until the doctor tells you that you have 6 months left to live. well, I pray and hope you don't have to wait that long to figure out how rare the gift of existence is!!!

Yul Bryner - yeah that dude was cool. He was good looking, tan , in shape and always had a sexy cigarette in his hand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNjunlWUJJI he died from lung cancer!
look at this guy, he's certainly "enjoying life!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRHvZazd4IM

The evidence is in  :deal: ! If you don't stop living in denial :wall: , and paying people to poison you  :flame: , you will end up  :poison:  !

I seriously wish someone could just give one good reason for smoking.. because the only REAL reason is to stave off the inevitable withdrawl symptoms, which are so uncomfortable people will continue to use a deadly substance even though they KNOW it will kill them. It's not like this is the 1950's and people still didn't know they were deadly. At least they could claim ignorance. You smokers today are willfully suicidal and I just can't get my head around paying someone to poison me by getting me addicted to a product that physically hurts and causes psychological problems to stop using. It doesn't make logical sense at all, but addiction denial is a powerful psychological force, capable of creating arguments that make sense to those making it, yet nobody else.. funny how that works, huh?

Generally, its something to do.

Look doode, lighten up, you can be angry all you want that society has made it look pleasurable and "cool" to smoke cigarettes but what this issue really comes down to is freedom of choice. Everything you just said, everyone knows, its not a mystery and most people don't smoke to look cool... its just a habit of lifestyle, most grow out of it and those that don't pay the ultimate price. In the big scheme of things, the world just has its way of weeding itself out, people die, even young and because of stupid life decisions but that's just the way population circulates itself. If we all made healthy safe decisions for our lives there would just be too many damn people, too many old people on social security and medi-cal so you healthy tax payers can just thank your lucky stars people are dying off instead of needing your tax dollars for 30 more years.

Wow, that is one of the most morbid, callous things I've ever read... and this is fornits! So you think it's a good thing that millions of people die needless deaths from one of the most addictive and deadly substances avaialble, because there would be too many old people on social security and medical? This argument is.. well.. it.. how else can I put it other than it makes *no sense whatsoever*.

How about if one of your family members dies from lung cancer, you can put "it's just a habit of lifestyle, the world was just recirculating the population" on their tombstone?

BTW-most don't grow out of it, because it's very addictive and difficult to quit. Your earlier argument was so ridiculous I didn't respond, but how about pointing out the obvious fact tobacco related health illness is the biggest expense on the taxpayer health system? That kind of cancels that argument of yours, which was basically imcomprehensible, it just seems like you want to take the opposite stance (even though it's wrong) for the sake of it. Well, that's your right.. but please try to make arguments that make some sense.

.... still waiting for someone to explain why it's a good idea to pay someone for lethal addictive poison you take with regularity to your own detriment....  ::puke::
