The Cigarette Thread

[Busty St Clare]

And I fucking hate whinging non-smokers! Been some talk in Melbourne lately about banning smoking at outdoor seating areas at restaurants, cafes, beer gardens etc. Seriously, what a joke. Firstly a lot of the outdoor stuff only sprung up after the indoor smoking bans to cater for smokers but now the whiners think they can take these places too? And if they cry as much about the carcinogens coming from car exhaust then maybe I'll take them seriously. But they don't, so yeah they should probably shut the fuck up! Sit at that kerbside table on a major street full of traffic and breath all that fresh air you morons.
ZOMG people are smoking in open spaces! Evil smokers killing the children! But breathing in the exhaust of the millions of cars in the city, and driving one is OK. (I don't have a car so I can get on my high horse about this )

And pubs suck now. What fun is a pub when you can't smoke?

For me it isn't a health issue, it is the fucking smell. I am killing myself a hundred other shades of Sunday, working in the garden with potting mix and herbicides is not doubt far worse than second hand smoke. When I used to have long hair there was nothing worse than waking up the morning after a night out and smelling stale second hand smoke. Being able to throw the clothes on now days without dry retching is also a god send. Smokers just don't realise how much you stink. I have knocked back very beautiful women because their mouth tastes like an ash tray. You can tell straight away if someone has smoked in a car or building. Car fumes don't linger, and even then how many people can sit directly behind an idling car without feeling sick also? Stale cigarettes is up there with stale piss. The only exception would be the smell of a good cigar (being smoked by a hot chick of course), but even then you are all too much a of a pussy to breath that shit in deeply.

Then there is the litter. If the smell isn't that bad, why the hell don't you put your butts in a little bag and keep them in your pocket? News flash, filters don't miraculously breakdown with a few days, as shown by the overflowing pot plants and gardens around the city. And don't get me started on finding them buried in the sand. Filters are a collection of the shit chemicals even you don't want in your bodies as well as your filthy spit. Charming, just what I want my kids playing with.

Lets face it you are all weak and you have been since Johnny Cool gave you your first puff on the way to school when you were 12. It doesn't even get you high which is the thing I find the most pathetic. I have no problems you smoking outside, but be kind enough to keep it to your self. I use an air freshener after I take a shit, perhaps you could learn from that....

 

[silentangst]

I endorse the above message.

 

[psytaco]

Haters will be hating....

 

[debaser]

I was a smoker 1 month ago. But I can't tell if I will or won't indulge again. It's that hard...

 

[heythatsmybike]

PJ golds = greatest mix cigerettes

I love the taste of stuyvo filters, but my lungs just can't handle it anymore. Moved onto port royal for a while, but it destroyed my lungs just as much. Now I have winny greys, just plain and simple

 

[Jakeperson]

Yeah, I had that problem.

Escort blues were the best mix cigarette for me.

On the subject of cigars, I always buy a chocolate cigar with a filter every weekend. When I'm feeling rich. And to Busty who said we are pussies for not inhaling the cigar smoke, I do anyway. Natural instinct, I can't help it lol.

 

[lagger]

I don't smoke the crap anymore but if you don't care about your body and lungs and enjoy smoking strong cigarettes like Marly Reds. You can buy cigarettes from many philipnio sites for about $1 a pack when you buy 20. They send ten in each package about 3-5 days apart. Customs opens them but they come through fine. They all make sure to only have 200 cigarettes per package. 250 in a package is the legal limit in AUS but USA is 200.

Good if you don't want to pay the bullshit costs, and Customs don't care if you order them for personal use no matter how much packages come through once a week, they are looking to bust RESELLERS and NOT addicts.

Also I find the new filters they have put on cigarettes since the boxes don't show how many mg of nicotine or carbon monoxide suck so much, its like trying to suck a melon thru a straw sometimes, the Filipino ones aren't like this and don't have the disgusting images either.

 

[pisspotnrock]

Fuck, yous are heavy smokers lol not to mention, most the the brands/varieties mentioned are strong as fuck

As for me (keep in mind Im still only eighteen), I smoke peter jackson silvers and weekends when Im on the piss or off my head, ill go through a pack a night easily. During the week, if Im working ill go through 3 - 5 but if its my day off, might have one or none at all...

Since I still smoke cannabis regularly (been a daily habit since 14, I know, not good) and I spin my mull, if I have a cone before dark (which I rarely do these days). I can go days without a smoke, I find I get a bigger hit of nicotine in a cone which is 25% tobacco compared to having a full cigarette.. oh wait, I smoke ultra weak silvers

Cant stomach tailor mades anymore after not smoking them for about ten years. Have tried a few times and they taste disgusting and usually end up coughing. Some tailor made smokers over the years I have noticed seem to look down on us rollie smokers like a poor cousin. But i find it very satisfying when I roll a cigarette that I made. And even more satisfying when the shape is perfectly cylinderical.

I do smoke at home as I live alone in my own place and have always believed that is one of the main benefits of being in your own place. The ability to do what you want and not have to worry about landlords. I enjoy having a cold beer a smoke and being able to watch a movie or a bit of tv. Although I do have one rule and that is if someone is eating then no smoking although snacks are excempt from this rule.

I am usually happy to part with a cigarette for random strangers unless they look too young to smoke. And those who ask for a rollie who can't roll thier own usually get refused as well.

Same boat here,

When I was at the 'dam in Europe, about 4am in the morning after a big night was chilling out at a park in the city, 3 drunk and scattered local Dutchs come up to to me asked for a smoke, replied only had rollies not tailors, they were even more happier that I had rollies not tailors, and I had bit of hash in my rollie pouch, they didnt even bat a eyelid, just took it out and handed to me and asked me to "hold it" while they could take some tobacco out and roll their own

Then we had few chats and I ended up at a 24 hour cafe out of the tourist spot with them for some coffees and breakie. Nice fellas

Interesting how sometimes some random chats come out from people who seek the death sticks.

Why am I not surprised it was you to finally make the thread dedicated to cigarettes mr blonde?

I am a smoker here myself, although it feels funny to call myself one these days as I often go numerous days without having a single cigarette. I am addicted to tobacco/nicotine however as I smoke atleast 2 grams of weed a day and I mix it with tobacco.

Everyone laughs at me but I smoke longbeach original, I know they are shite but I started in high school when I was poor and the 40 packs were economical, I know horizon do 50's but I agree with others who said they are disgusting.

Also psytaco much like yourself I found when younger I used to enjoy stronger cigarettes but now if I light up a 16 it tastes like fucking acetone or some shit. That said I still smoke 12's which aren't exactly the weakest cigs going around.

I used to ritualise my smoking whilst at work as a way to sort of limit how much I would go through. Nowadays I only tend to smoke if I am out doing something and bongs aren't going, otherwise I keep my nicotine fix to bong rips mixed in with my choof.

Ha ha :D

Mmm, perhaps this thread is glorifying smoking too much... maybe I should start attaching graphic photos of damage from smoking to each post and make sure no one uses any fancy colors or smilies in their posts as it will surely encourage the kids to smoke.

Cigarettes are my forte. I don't drink, and I am a small guy so a lot of drugs hit me relatively harder then others, but with cigarettes I can smoke just about anyone under the table. When I go out to the pub with others, I always get comments on how much I smoke.

Good if you don't want to pay the bullshit costs, and Customs don't care if you order them for personal use no matter how much packages come through once a week, they are looking to bust RESELLERS and NOT addicts.

Thanks for the tip, I might try that out!

I have read some stories from people who have been caught trying to bring in way over the limit on cigarettes... there are some heavy duty fines associated with trying to smuggle them in.

 

[rick.shaw]

im sorry if im repeating (i didnt read the thread) i dont normally smoke i grew up with my mum smoking and i hated it but recently ive been haven some bali cigarettes the clove ones, they are the shit!! ive been told there worse than normal tobacco, ??? is that correct or is it just as bad. (im wrighting this paro/off my tits on killer Adelaide meth atm sorry for the rant.

 

[Mr Blonde]

^ You mean Kreteks? The Wikipedia article states that in Indonesia they contain a bit more tar and nicotine then our cigarettes do here... and that in Canada they contain a whole lot of tar for some reason.

Time for some of our broadcasting license required HR content: anyone have any theories on why the TGA does not allow the sale of electronic cigarettes in this country? Is it due to lack of evidence that they are less dangerous then cigarettes, or is it due to lack of tax money

 

[pisspotnrock]

^^ the gurum guram or however their spelt are much worse for you, they contain more than twice the nicotine/tar than say winnie reds from my memory...

If you get the white packets which have them slim clover ciggerettes, they are very mild and would probly be better for your health than alot of aussie smokes (the white packets have an 'A' on the front, cant remember the name)

 

[JoshE]

Bali/Thailand ciggies piss on anything in Australia. Ill go through packs everyday when I'm in Bali. Bali smokes plus Bintang by the pool = bliss

 

[what drugs????////]

hi all, long time lurker first time poster here.
just wanted to say great thread - as a nicotice slave i find it very interesting to see oz peoples smoking habits and history.
im from country vic, and have been smoking tobacco increasingly over time since i was 12-13 years old. my fisrt ever ciggie i shared with my best mate one recess, behind the oval at school. and we got busted by a teacher which, (when your only in grade 6!) got me in a fuckload of trouble...
Or mabey, not enough? either way it didnt stop my mates and i, to this day we still love em, hate em, and everything in between. my brand is b n h smooth 25's, slowly coverted over from pj 30s since ive been living here in melbs. prolly in between 8 to 15 a day depending on the day, and much more when im drinking. the other day as i was chopping a mix i realised my love of bongs and ciggis goes pretty hand in hand, and i think if im ever to give up smokes properly - buds will have to go too, and vice-versa. christ-knows when im gonna have the willpower to climb that mountain!

Then theres my growing love/tolerance for smoking shards, but thats a whole other can of worms altogether lol.

basically, i love smoking drugs - easilly my favorite method of administration for most of em. Hell i reckon if there was a way to smoke alcohol id give it a crack!

sorry, not sure that my first post added anything usefull 'HR' wise - just wanted to share a lil
oh but i will say, my dads been on the malboro reds since he was 18 (now 70) and hes a bloody anesthetist! so who knows mabey ill get lucky haha but dont hold your breath! sorry ill shutup now

Who wants to live to be 80 anyway...

oh yeah and long live bluelight! etc etc ..

 

[Mr Blonde]

^ Thanks for sharing brother, it is interesting to hear other's history with the nicotine.

i think if im ever to give up smokes properly - buds will have to go too, and vice-versa. christ-knows when im gonna have the willpower to climb that mountain!

That's an interesting thing to consider. If I were to ever quit, all those other substances I use that enhance or make me crave a cigarette would definitely be quite a hindrance in stopping. I'd either have to just try and use them without smoking, or make myself an 'occasional' smoker.

For those who have or are quitting, drinking and other drugs must make it harder to resist a smoke, right?

 

[Urbie]

Interesting you mention that, I was at Helsinki, Warsaw and Milano International Airports, they were selling them and handing out information. Seeing the information papers from memory, in 4-6 different languages, think its more likely due the tax money.

It's almost similar to those inhale nicotice plastic sticks that you can buy from the chemist for people trying to quit, but somewhat "electronic verision".

 

[Mr Blonde]

^ From the limited reviews from people I know who have tried those inhaler sticks... they aren't so good. I haven't tried them though, and I like the gum whereas a lot of people seem to not like that.

 

[JoshE]

Guys,

Is it true that if you smoke and chew gum at the same time, that it is even worse that smoking a cigarette on its own? If so, why?
