I don't smoke a lot, only when I roll which is like once a month. I smoke about 10-15 cigs and the next day and the day after that I cough a lot and my lungs hurt. Then I have friends who smoke this much everyday and they're fine.

Your Mileage may vary!!!!! you limit may be different than your friends. One question, Do your friends smoke regularly or just when they roll? I know that when I used to not smoke cigarettes and rolled and smoked like 15 of um my lungs felt just as bad as yours. Now Im a regular smoker and I can smoke 3 packs and not feel a thing., Mikey

well, you said that you only roll once a month or so and that's when you smoke. i'm not a doctor or anything, but we know that smoking hurts your lungs, and if you are smoking menthols, which have fiberglass that really do make lots of little cuts in your lungs. in short, when you smoke you are hurting your lungs. then you take a month off and they repair themselves. then you hurt them again... get it? so, your friends smoke all the time, they are coating their lungs with tar and shit so they don't notice it hurting because it prob. doesn't... now, we all know that it DOES actually hurt, even if we aren't feeling it...
i hope this doesn't sound mean or anything, 'cause i smoke when i trip and sometimes just at night sitting on my porch or drinking with my friends... just my ideas...

How much time does it take you to smoke the 15 cigs? I chain smoke on any stimulants. If your a non-smoker and going threw 15 in like 4 hours then well thats alot for a non-smoker. Also do you smoke anything else? (weed, etc.)
I agree with OLMARTEEE.

BTW, were you serious about the menthols thing? Thats an urban legend..

"Menthols really do have fiberglass in them and cut your lungs."
WRONG. This is my new favorite drug myth. Cigarette butts are made out of fiberglass. Maybe you have accidentally lit the wrong end of a cigarette before. You might remember the horrid taste/smell. And maybe then you realize that tobacco (menthol or not) doesn't not have any fiberglass added to it.
Menthols are worse for you because menthol has a cooling effect that allows you to inhale more smoke and hold it for longer than non-menthols (straight from the AHA website).
 
^^^^^^^are you sure about that? I JUST inquired about this and I read that menthol smokers inhale LESS smoke...i'll be back with the link in a little bit, gotta go smoke a menthol first(seriously).
 
okay, well MAYBE i am wring about the fiberglass part, but i think the rest is still a possibility, right???
 
Cloves are better than menthols anyday.
I love how they kinda sparkle when you drag on them too. (which, of course, is from the fiberglass.
