Do you smoke cigs, and if so, what type?

It feels pretty awesome, actually. I completely understand why people smoke, it's a nice little stimmy high you get. It's sorta comparable to like, caffeine or energy drink stuff. That was advice given to me from some guy who smoked "Just go buy a Red Bull instead, don't take up smoking." Then again, I'm only now recovering from a fairly major caffeine addiction because of that strategy...

Anyway, I don't smoke, but I've tried it. I much prefer unfiltered cigarettes, they hit you like a ton of bricks and filtereds didn't hit me like, at all. I've tried Darjum black, clove cigarette (well legally filter cigar, haha taxes.) The Darjum was fairly good I guess. If I were to smoke, I'd smoke probably handrolled or Lucky Strike or Camel unfiltered.

But yeah, completely understand smoking, but, won't do it myself for the obvious health problems it usually comes with (that being said, in Japan, people smoke like hell and live longer than USA, so while it is worse for you, many times health problems from smoking are codependent upon other unhealthy things you do.) I guess it's good I tried cigarettes a few times, just for perspective, haven't used any tobacco really in my adult life, though. Part of me wants to try cigars, though, but it seems a slippery slope and I have athletic aspirations, so yeah.

I like the smell of cigarettes, or any kind of tabacco for that matter. I even like it when it's gone stale.

I started out in the 1980s with More Lights 100's which were tan-colored, light version of those long, skinny dark brown More cigarettes. Those were good because I liked how they tasted (kinda like very fresh strong coffee) and nobody ever wanted to bum one because they looked too sissy. I quit for a little while in 1996 with my first baby, but it was super-tough because back then they only had one strength of nicotine gum, which was too strong for me and I was already queasy from being pregnant. Then after I started my job in the fall of 1997, I had a bad night at work and started smoking again, this time Marlboro Lights. I had to quit again in 2000 when my mom had to come stay with us and she was on oxygen. Then something bad and personal happened in 2002 and I started again, but very lightly and mostly only at work. I finally quit for good in 2004.

During the past year I've come close to starting back several times.

I remember when you could get a packet of 10 'Number 6' for 56p.

The first packet of cigarettes I ever bought was 10 Lambert and Butler. I think they cost about £1.15 at that time. Now it's probably triple that.

^^ Them were the days

I don't smoke cigarettes.
