News Cigarettes Are Cool Again? Inside Gen Z's Smoking Revival

[Mjäll]

Now you've done a double post @Ki3ly

Whats going on here??


Anyway, my take on this is that for anyone with a serious nicotine habit, vapes just don't cut the mustard.

So you've got all of these kids brought up on vaping from an early age who are now realising that only proper fags provide real satisfaction.

Unless maybe combining vapes with harmala extract would suffice

dunno about that, but a diamorphine vape would definitely do it (would still need a ciggie afterwards though...)

So I started buying my own tobacco got the tubes, top-o-matic rolling machine and I was researching into how they sell pipe tobacco as ROL because something to do with how they package and manufacture changes how they tax so pipe is a helluva alot cheaper than rol but still don't understand why it's like this. Anyways u people that do this is there really any difference between pipe and rol as far as taste and what u enjoy also is there really any difference between the 2 as far as cut and smoking it, u personally I mean? I've been smoking Daughters and Ryan Windsail Silver because someone said it was close to American Spirit light blue it's relly good but stronger and actually better taste but is it harsher because they say pipe tobacco isn't meant to be inhaled like rol so what's the difference if that's what everyone is smoking anyways to avoid tax, is it worse on my lungs or what? I went to my local smoke shop and dude had a round tin of American Spirit smaller than a folger coffee and wanted like $80 for it and then had the big pillow bags 5lbs or whatever for like $20-30 of pipe tob wtf is it like this? I imagine his tin of A.S. has been sitting there for years if he only had one and then when I went online I could only find a few actual smoke shops selling that and they would only have one or out of stock and a whole difeerent state for close to $100 and American Spirit doesn't sell loose only these random smoke shops have a tin or a pouche, doesn't make any sense. But been rolling now about 3 weeks and getting pretty good, I'm using Kashmir hemp tube papers.

I looked it up and when I got old enough to buy my own cigs in 1998 it was about $4.30 for pack of Marl REDs now I smoke about a pack of American Spirits about $16 a day not I only sad about how my lungs must be but the money, HOLY SHIT THE FUCKING MONEY I smoked away but at least I love smoking.

The lady at the gas station just miss charged me and I got a pack of American Spirit cigarettes for free. Am I a bad person for not saying anything and and looking at it as a score 1 for me? In my defense I have caught them ripping me off by also not giving me the right change back in fact one guy got fired for doing it.

I would not have said anything. lol.

I was doing that for a while too. I’d buy the big Bugler bag of tobacco and roll my own. But it just doesn’t taste like a “real” cigarette like my beloved Camel 99’s lol

There’s a smoke shop on the corner that sells an off-brand pack of smokes for under 7 bucks. The Camels I buy are like $14. I became old enough to smoke cigs in 2009. This was just before they changed the smoking age to 21, so I got lucky.

This would be the only "cool" one IMO, that is if I wanted to look like someone I am not though.

Get a carton, not that expensive... lmao

Ya know, I tend to smoke even more any time I’ve bought a carton in the past.

smoking doesn't harm your lungs.

I used to smoke Dunhill but switched to American Spirit which ain't cheap but cheaper that Dun because they raised the tax in Illinois like 2 bucks in a few years.
