question about soft pack cigarettes

[OogyWaWa]

who the HELL invented the soft-pack and why on earth do companies sell cigs in them!? every time someplace runs out of hard-packs i have to resort to the softies. then, my cigs get crushed and bent in my pocket. seriously, wtf? they cost the same price...

Shirt pocket.

And quit like I did this year. It's not that hard once you decide to stop.

i don't smoke many cigs. really only when it isn't convenient to smoke a pipe/cigar

that answers that question. i can see how the hard pack would be bothersome, but even in the shirt pocket the softs get squished :/

 

[Barfo]

Soft packs are from a different era. My 72 year old dad uses them, and with a barely noticeable flick of his wrist, he can have just one sticking out of the pack, the adjacent cigs know better than the come out even a little, the lone one he grabs with his teeth, then lights it with a solid brass WWII era zippo which he also lighted in another smooth, single motion.

Now thats fuckin cool.

don't try to give him a hard pack, he'll call you a pansy girl or something

I've seen older guys do that, it is pretty badass.

switch to dip. it's cheaper and gives you minty fresh breath that all the ladies love.

Soft packs are better. They crush down and smoosh the cigarettes, but they're still usable. Hard packs flex and snap the cigarettes. The one benefit of a hard pack is it's easier to keep the cigarettes from falling out. I still prefer soft pack though.

the rotting gums and brown teeth are a real turn on too

i quit a few years ago, but the one positive side of a soft pack when I was forced to buy one, was every time I thought I was out, there was always one or two more hidden inside.

And once you learn to take the filter off a cracked cigarette and twist it onto the other side, even a horribly crushed pack can be salvaged.

 

[CRXican]

don't smoke

loser

Now that is bad ass! Only reason for 'em!

I'm with ya otherwise OP. Soft packs are just fail. Worst time is gearing up to go camping and at least one of my friends ends up with a soft pack that just is fucked by the next morning.

You might think to save your last hard pack to put the cigs in but the soft pack cigs are actually a tiny bit longer! Who the hell did that?

Doesn't really matter to me either way.. I don't wear clothing that's so tight that it breaks cigarettes when I move.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I've never seen soft packs. Granted I haven't been around much, just the Middle East and India, but all I've ever seen are flip-top packs.

Smoking is stupid. Actually, it's kind of funny, when I think about it. We have been told all of our lives that smoking is addictive, and that it is bad for you. Yet, a select few ignore these warnings and opt to start smoking. Now they are addicted, spending their hard earned cash on a product that does nothing but keep them addicted. What a wonderful business model this is. Praying on the weak willed fools of society is a sure bet. Everyone knows this.

I hate soft packs as well. I try to save a hard pack if I remember so I can transfer the cigs in a soft pack to it.

 

[zanejohnson]

cellophane completely around the pack = fresher cigarettes.

 

[surfsatwerk]

I smoked Lucky Strikes for years. I got big legs so I used an empty breath mint tin to protect my smokes.

 

[lokiju]

I quit in '03 but I also hated the soft packs. I actually had a metal cig case just for this though.

Now I'm one of those hypocrites that hates everything about smoking and smokers piss me off.

Not as cool as smoking.

You do smoke? Or are you one of those dirty liberal, atheist, muslim, brown person type?
