Pisspot what the heck is ruby? If you mean rugby but didn't realise it's pronounced rug-bee then as a new zealander it is my duty to inform you that you are a disgrace and a 100% idiot. Haha just joshing. Busty I'm guessing youre a kiwi? Kia ora bro, tu meke mai maori.
Does anyone here smoke rollies? I take it plain packaging has taken over rollie packs as well? I usually smoke champion blue but seeing as I'm trying to lay off the smack smoking hasn't seemed so desirable, smoking during withdrawal is awful. You're right tent, smoking and opiates go together way, way too well. I like to time my first smoke for just after the initial rush - it totally brings it back on and makes the nod so much deeper and also intensifies that tight chested euphoria I love so much with opiate highs. I think I'd go crazy if I didn't have dirty old cigarettes while on opiates, the two are mutually inclusive for me.
I don't know if this is what whoever asked this meant but the reason they still write the 'colour' of the plain packs is because the colour denotes the different strengths of cigarettes within brands. As far as I know its what determines the amount of nicotine in each ciggy, eg reds are usually 16mg nicotine per smoke, dark blue 10 or 12mg (I think) and so on so forth.
I couldn't care less about plain packaging, it doesn't really change anything for me enjoyment wise and discouraging smoking has to be a good thing, there are definitely good and bad ways to go about it but I don't see plain packaging as a necessarily bad way to go about it, it may not be all that successful but it doesn't seem harmful. For one less advertising in the world has got to be a good thing. It's better than trying to ban it to anyone born after 2000 like they were/are doing in tassie which will almost certainly open up a black market for tobacco. The one surprise I had with plain packaging is that it's not just the packs but the cigarettes themselves that are plain, in a way this seems to be the more important part of the change. You really only look at the pack when your buying and pulling out/rolling a smoke but you (and the people you're with/around) look at your cigarettes as you smoke them a lot, 20+ times a day in many cases. Part of the attraction with cigarettes, especially tailor made's is that they look cool and stylish, I think the cigarette companies put a lot of thought and effort into how they designed the look of the individual smokes for good reason; who the hell wants something that looks like shit dangling out of their mouths for 10 minutes every hour of the day? If a company put out a smoke where the filter was pink and veiny and looked like a knob then you could bet not many people would smoke them, it's an extreme example but I think its definitely relevant to the popularity of smoking - cigarettes are consciously or unconsciously considered fashionable to many people. The tailor cigarettes I occasionally smoke had a cool pattern on the filter and the brand was written stylishly with blue ink and I thought it looked quite cool and at times when I smoked them I felt cool, now they have a hoary looking filter with 'nzw 227' stamped on them and they look like shit, it looks more like the code for some kind of poisonous chemical now than a means to define my particular brand of style. I think this change may have more of an unconscious effect on smoking than people may realise and I think it may have as much or more effect than the packets themselves. Anyone else notice this?
