555 International and Davidoff Magnums are pretty clean, but not cheap either.

Fortunately, I'm an ex-smoker and don't see that changing anytime soon.

It was probably his/her choice to smoke, yes?

Definitely the popeye ones.

<< switched back to Marlboro over a year ago due to the fact that the Newports were causing me to wake up in the middle of the night feeling as though I was going to die due to lack of oxygen. >>

Yeah, it must have been the Newport brand doing that :D I couldn't resist.

I've been smoking for about 6 years now, off and on but my latest kick being about 2 years. I definately think I smoke too much and try to cut back, but I still gotta have that cig in the morning and the ones while I drive. Those are mandatory. I'm not aching to quit, I definately don't want to see health problems arise, I've already noticed my breathing getting a little heavier about 30 min after i smoke one.

Still...I'm craving...must smoke...hah

Then I'd say you'd better quit. :)

<< None, you my as well be putting a gun in your mouth. I grew up in a house with parents who both smoked and thats hte (sic) reason I have asthma... >>


Actually having asthma IS on the rise over the past 20 years, but the instances of smoking (as a percentage of adults) have decreased. There seems to be other factors at play here, although if you have asthma, ANY smoke particulate matter will generally aggravate the symptoms.

LOL, ironic name

I can do without people smoking as well, but I don't put them down for it either. I just want to know why smokers feel it is ok to flick their butt (you know which one) out their windows or while walking. Now that bothers me :|

They know their killing themselves or at least taking a few years off their life. I just don't understand why they do it. When I was about 10-14 I smoked, 4 years, and its because "it was cool". When I was 14, thats when I learned how bad they are and I kicked the habit. I had asthma since I was 7 years old and only because my parents smoked. If they hadn't smoked, I would not have asthma and I wouldn't have smoked for 4 years because I wouldn't have had access to them

Camel Lights/American Spirits most days, Nat Sherman MCD's when I can find a place that sells them. ;)

There's absolutely nothing more surreal than walking outside to go to work on an early pre-summer morning in south texas, lighting up your first cigarette, exhaling, and watching the smoke just hang in the air in front of you. 95+ degrees, 90% humidity, and 0.00005 mile per hour winds. Devil's Butthole is what this place should be called.

Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examining data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reported in the January 2001 Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine there was no association between second-hand smoke and asthma among 5,400 children aged 4 to 16 years of age. Anti-smoking activists have yet to explain where were all the childhood asthma cases in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s when smoking indoors was commonplace and adult smoking rates were much higher than they are now.

Also, if you think I am just a tool of the tobacco industry, you may want to look at a statement by the The American Lung Association "Aasthma is not caused by smoking" I hate to destroy your belief system but if you want to help yourself and others then we all need to start looking at the real cause.

None whatsoever.

Even more so if it's a hot chick smoking... good heavens, there's nothing more revolting than a pretty young thang smoking.

SHOW ME ONE %$#@!$# CREDIBLE REPORT THAT PROVES SMOKING CAUSES ASTHMA!!!!!!!!!! JUST ONE REPORT! Asthma is genetic not caused by smoking. Being around a smokermay cause you to have an asthmatic reaction but itDOES NOT cause asthma!



BTW, Been smoking GPC lights for so long that they are my favorites. If Camel lights are on sale I pick them up.
