A person came in to drop off a job application, they reeked of cigarettes. Even the resume reeked of cigarettes. No job for them, who wants to deal with a stenchy person?
Besides, cigar-ettes is a pussy word. Would you own an AR15"ette". How about a FAL-ette. Ma Deuce ette anyone? But cigarettes are manly Edit page 3 for my bitch-ettes |

I read a story once about a guy who started at 50. He figured that he'd die of natural causes before the cigarettes had a chance to do whatever it is they might do in some folks. |

Slow suicide.
And I think calling the majority of this board "pussies" some is not C.O.C. compliant. That would be like me calling all smokers "idiots" which I will not do. |

I smoke Reds in a box. Been smoking since I was 17 and I'm 27 now. About four packs a week.

And I'll be here to welcome my lost sheep back into the fold. Come back, brother. Your depression will leave as soon as you take your first drag, I guarantee it. |

I started smoking Newport menthol's at age 15 and switched to cowboy killers until I quit 22 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Back then cigarettes were 55 cents a pack and I smoked two packs a day. I am glad I am not spending $ on them now. I do enjoy a good cigar every couple of days. I see too many folks in their advanced years come to the ER with their O2 tanks and can barely breath from smoking. Smokers, this will be you some day. Last week a woman came to the ER with black soot coming out of her nose and covering her upper lip. She was on O2 driving and lit up in the car. The O2 ignited and burned her badly into her sinus and melting/burning the plastic nasal cannula on her face and neck. Ever see a chest CT of a smoker with emphysema? Not much usable lung in the chest.

Sorry about that. I couldn't make out the CoC on my screen past the cloud of SMOKE in my office. As a matter of fact, I'm smoking so much that the haze is drifting to the west coast and screwing with the calibration of humor detectors. |

About the same here. After a really stressful day, or really early day (1-2AM) yard call I will smoke one, other than that, I don't. Marlboro or American Spirits typically, or skoal. I have never been addicted, as I take weeks or months off each year with no ill effects. I am addicted to coffee however. |

If I did start up. I'd smoke Camel non filters like my Dad did. Hell, I'd smoke Chesterfields like my Grandad did if I could find them. I'm fuckin' old school, ya know? My old man would tear the filters off of cigarettes when he bumed one. He claimed the filters are what caused the cancer. |

|
If I smoke something, its a good cigar about once a year.
Unless I am really really drunk, then I might have a good Turkish Gold Camel or something, maybe twice a year. More for the flavor, actually. |
|
You're the first person EVER who's pointed out that little nugget of informaiton. I honestly had NO IDEA that there were additives in cigarettes. This (along with that troublesome lung photo posted earlier) has really made me think twice about lighting up! Where on earth did you guys find this refreshingly new information? THANK YOU so much for being so conerned about my health. You guys are the best! You're selflessly looking out for my best interests! I love you guys. |

There was an episode of How It's Made or some similar show that delved into the history of tobacco. It was very interesting. From the Spaniards landing in Cuba finding the natives smoking cigar like things as big as baseball bats to current technology. They do treat the tobacco with chemicals in order to get the nicotine into your blood. The cigarette consists of several mixes of different tobaccos and chemical treatment combinations to give you the buzz and cover up the chemical taste so you do not experience it. Check this out for yourself. |

,,That's so nice... |

pipe smoker.
i smoke the a blend made by the local shop. i find the pipe to be more enjoyable than both the cigs, and cigars. i wouldnt give it up to save my life. |
|
You take that back!!! My wife smoked these air-sticks they like to call Virginia Slims Super Slims, while she was pregnant. I bummed one off her once when I was out, and I kind of thought "What's the fucking point? Just quit!". I ripped the filter off and started toking it like it was a hippie's last joint. No dice. After the 3rd one in a row, I kind of gave up and just went to the store. |
|
|
That was my brand when I used to smoke. |
|
|
Old school. I like it. I bet you're like one of those crusty old dudes that says cool things like "I don't need no damn TAMPON on my cigarettes, ya fucking wanker". |
|
|
Smoke free for 4 years now, but Winston light hard pack was my poison to the tune of 30 a day.
|
|
Never saw the point.
Why pay someone to kill you? Hell, I'll do it for free |
|
Same reason I drink beer. I LIKE IT! |

Coffin Nails 120s.
Cigarettes taste like utter shit, until you get addicted. Then they're apparently the gravy on the potatoes. No offense, cig smokers. I smoke cigars, and have started taking to occasional pipe. Got nothing against smoking tobacco. But having worked in a cigarette warehouse... Holy shit. Cigs are damned near the floor sweepings of the industry. |
|
I started smoking American Spirits four years ago: Three to six cigarettes per day. I have quit now and will never smoke again. I am embarrassed that I ever did it. Took me three attempts to quit. I am so happy that I kept trying. I am excited to get smoking out of my life.
|
|
I only smoke cigars, about 2 a week right now. I'm still kind of new so I don't have a go to smoke yet, but I like CAO Brazilia, Sancho Panza Double Maduro, and Arturo Fuente Hemingways.
|
|
What do I smoke?
Ribeye, Boudin, Chicken, Turkey, etc. And boy it sure tastes good. Oh, forgot, you'll have to take my word for that..... |
|
Wait.......let me get this right......smoking is BAD for you??? Holy shit! why am I always the last to know these things!?!?!?!?!?!?! Basic Menthol Lights btw |
||
|
My personal favorites...gives my smokes a nice "twangy" taste |
||
|
I smoked marlb red 100's for 30 years. Now I just inject 55 cc's of nicotine into my blood stream via IV pouches that I keep in a fanny pack.
|
|
Had to stop before I really got going...
It was making me very short of breath when training in MMA. After getting knocked out while sparring cause I couldn't keep my hands up any longer I decided enough was enough and switched to a cigar or two a week. |
|
I used Chantix to quit, it worked great but I stopped taking the week I stopped smoking, which I dont suggest.
With the stress of a busy schedule and school, I needed SOMETHING to tide the cravings, so I started with Skoal Bandits and have since moved on to Skoal wintergreen pouches. I actually like Skoal better than smoking. I would say chewing makes you more of a man than smoking. Any pussy can smoke, but it takes a real man to gut some Skoal. |
|
+1 cigars are good and relaxing, cigarettes just make me cough until i wanna vomit. eta i've tried chew twice. first time i puked all over my roommate's sink. second time i almost puked. no thanks. |
|
|
Salem Lights when I quit 13 years ago, wife was pregnant with our first child.
Mint Skoal till my son asked "What that daddy"? Now I smoke a decent quality cigar on the front porch, weather permiting. In Il. thats about 30/40 a year. |
|
I smoked Marlboro Reds for about 7 years. I quit about a year and a half ago. I like breathing, it's fun.
|
|
Chesterfields kept me from smoking for ten years. My dad smoked em, stole one to try, just about puked. Now in the Army I learned to smoke. Salem, In the process of quitting right now. Wish me luck. |

At first glance I thought that was a really bad dinner pic! Smoked for 40+ years,Winstons and Camels until I had a heart attack. They did an xray in the ER and my lungs were pretty much coal black. Most likely have emphysema to some extant. Haven't smoked for over a year and besides the normal things like being able to breathe and taste things,I've noticed the lower leg pains and charley horses quit almost immediately. |
|
|
try some cusano c10s. not a bad price, and a great smoke for sure. one of my personal favorites. |
