I've been thinking about starting smoking. I smoke cigars once and a while, so I might as well pick up cigarettes.

I do deep breathing just for fun it feels so good :D

yeah, breathing does feel good, doesn't it?

my best friend's mom tried quitting smoking soooo many times, but couldn't do it. then, one day, she couldn't smoke for a few days and she could actually smell the shampoo in her hair for the first time.... so, she quit. she wasn't able to smell things whenever she was a smoker... everything smelled similar, but different.

Nothing menthol... eh, I don't like the taste that much. I almost always smoke Camel Lights cause I like them the best and they're the cheapest at $4.48 (unless you buy some ghetto brand). Marb Lights aren't too bad but if it's between them and Camels (light or regular), I'll take the Camels.

Don't do it. It is a nasty filthy, expansive habit that will fvck up your lungs and leave you susceptible to a myriad of bad health crap.

Really, I know it is hypocritical of me to say that, being a smoker. But in this case, you should trust someone who does it and knows how bad it is.

:(

I bought myself a new computer instead of a vacation :D

I bought a good start on lung cancer. Never know when it might come in handy.

Hey might get you a medical marijuana prescription in a few years ;).

That's quite possibly the dumbest logic I've seen on these forums, and that's quite a big shoe to fill. Congrats :thumbsup:

That being said, candy cigarettes ftw!

Ouch, I pay $3.24 per pack for Marbs.

Cigs are between $6-7.50 per pack here in NJ, depending where you get them.

Quit smoking exactly one week ago and I'm glad I did. I'm sick of smelling bad :( But I do love to smoke, that's for sure. Out of the list I'd choose Marlboro, but I usually smoked Rothmans.

I pay about $2.60 a pack for Camel Lights $26.00 a carton. I'm gonna quit one of these days but I just love the taste of Lung Butter in the morning.

Having worked at a convenience store for a long time, I noticed that certain groups of people smoked certain brands. It doesn't surprise me that Newports (black people) and Lucky Strikes (old men who should probably be dead) aren't popular here. Camels with filters are pretty popular among younger people, as are Parliaments.

Edit: Marlboros/Marlboro Lights are just popular in general.
