Anyone smoke cigarettes and what's your brand if you do?

Post Reply New Topic

i just quit smoking. but camel wides and turkish sliver were my brands. not fiberglass filters in camels that you get on cheaper cigs.

Winfield and Belgam 20, Winfield when I go out and Belgam at home.

The Belgam is tabacco that I put in filtered tubes myself.

I personally loathe medication of any and all forms. If I have a headache, it needs to persist for at least a day before I even think about taking an asprin and then it still depends on what type of headache I have (pounding, humming, numb or piercing).

Alot of MD's prescribe loads and loads of medications for aspergers and the side diagnoses like ADD, ADHD, OCD, etc. (I probably have ADD Inattentive Type next to aspergers)
Mostly they are anxiety relievers, but there are some meds they prescribe that are right out brain chemistry altering.

Before I decided to get an official diagnosis, I made it very clear that I wouldn't have any of the 3 following:

1: no medications that are perception or brain chemistry altering, I never took more then an asperin and I rather die then to have them stuff me full of meds.
2: no limitations on my actions, wants and needs. I was never a big spender so making a problem out of me wanting to buy something is just plain wrong.
3: under no surcumstances will I release any type of power of attorney, the only thing I gave permission for was that my parents had direct access to my accounts so that they could keep track of my bills and payments (which I usually forget), if anyone tries to take my rights away from me and take power of attorney over me, I'll simply disappear. (not kill myself or anything, I never had suicidal thoughts and never will)

I'm intelligent and feel that, especialy considering I never hurt anyone and am kinda hopeless when people ask me for help and keep giving it, that any of the problems I have related to aspergers or ADD should be or should be allowed to be managed by learning to restrain myself, understand myself and learn to understand how normal people think so that I can compensate my social inadiquacies trough thinking instead of using the instincts normal people have in that field.

I already learned alot about seeing people's emotions and telltales about their feelings trough their body language and facial expressions, especially when I've known someone for some time it becomes easyer to understand their reactions and feelings.

So, how do you all feel about this. Do you welcome medication to relieve anxiety and other traits that medication exists for, or do you prefer, like me, to take control over yourself and learn to deal with your problems on an intellectual level?

Thanks for all of your responses! A lot of them, wow!

I notice these days at lot of people out there are smoking Newports. I wonder why? I was suprised a number of you smoked the various types of Camel Cigarettes.
