I’d say 99.9% of smokers know it’s a bad habit. So it’s good if one of our own goes away from the darkside, especially if they were really really addicted. Takes brass balls to quit, so gg to them.
I do, but I secretly hope they take it up again. The old saying goes, misery loves company. That’s not to say I’m miserable…Smoking among people and being the only one doing it is like drinking among people, and being the only one doing it.
Yeah - it’s handy having someone to smoke with when you want a cigarette. However, it’s not like you can give them shit.
I smoke weed, on the weekend usually. Regular stuff, i smoke Black And Milds, regular or wine. My boss actually gave me a carton of these rare Chinese Ciggs he had for quite some time. He got them from the Ministry of Foreign affairs “Dai Yu tai” So, he tells me they dont sell them in Any store, only at the Ministry to the higher up people, and says they cost 20$ a pack:amazed: Im put’n that $hit on E-bay
Still goin’, but damn this! It’s really nice outside and I’m on the balcony with my lappy and it would be sweet to chill and light one up.
A few things - if you don’t ski much - you probably won’t get bloody nostrils. Just grind/chop that shit up really well. A rock will bloody you up no problem. If you’re using a razor you should probably be putting in 2 minutes minimum for a regular line.
Also, just general advice about snow. I only do snow when it’s A) at a party where the person providing won’t see me again or B) a one-time deal with a guy who won’t be able to procure it anymore. I also don’t deal with buying from strangers, under any circumstances.
The high is addictive and fun as hell, so it’s advisable to set up the fun correctly. Don’t get yourself stuck in a house where your room mate is dealing powder. Don’t snort if you don’t at least know the guy by one degree of separation of someone you trust (use common sense, I know there are exceptions to this rule), there’s a lot of drugs out there that look like cocaine but isn’t.
And even with that said, yes, some people can actually do powder on a regular basis for decades without any noticeable problems… I know a few of them, but I wouldn’t advise trying it. That will more than likely end up in a bad place.
anyone have any tips on quitting? it’s so hard to. i’ve been smoking for a good 4 years now and the only time i didn’t smoke was one time for about 4-5 days. But aside from that, i’ve pretty muched smoked at least a cig from 4 years ago up until now.
i dunno i just like doing it. theres something about inhaling smoke and watching the trail dissipate when you blow it out. but see i dont’ know if that’s jsut the nicotine talking. any chance i get i’ll smoke, it’s getting pretty bad now since everyone that gets close to me tells me i reek of cigarette and it’s getting harder to mask the odor since i do it so often.
fuck as i’m writing about not wanting to smoke anymore i totally want to go and smoke but i just ran out an hour ago… oh and $9 a pack is outrageous! in cali it’s climbing up to $5 and i was getting outraged.
The cornerstone of any addiction is habit. It’s hard to become addicted to something without making it a habit first. First of all, if it’s not a habit you’re probably not getting enough of the chemical to addict you. Secondly, a habit allows the addiction to become more firmly rooted and harder to fight. If you smoke a cigarette every time you get in your car, you’ll want a cigarette every time you get in your car. That’s not the nicotine talking, you could’ve smoked 5 minutes ago, but you know you’ll smoke again. The habit reinforces the addiction.
So break the habit. It takes me probably a solid two weeks to break any habit if I go balls to the wall cold-turkey. After that, you’ll probably have a much easier time, although the nicotine-withdrawals will probably still be there.
You can start off easy though by breaking your smoking habits. Stop smoking in the car, for instance, that’s a major one that will cut down on cigarette consumption. After that, try to not take smoke breaks during work. After that, it should be much easier.
yeah man one thing i tried to do was everytime i felt like smoking i’d go outside and chew on this cinnamon stick. like i’d hold it like a cigarette and pretend to smoke it. it seems kind of crazy but yeah it helped bc at least i had some kind of oral fixation. and half the habit is actually doing the action so that worked for that week.
it’s crazy though b/c my friend was smoking and bummed one to me. and after that one cig i went back to buying a pack a day again. i dunno i like doing it even though there’s like no real benefit to smoking.
but yeah i don’t smoke in the car anymore. i don’t really even have any inclination to. so i guess that’s a start
by the way thanks for the response
it still in that wrapper, plus in the case or plastic tube it comes with.
Where would you guys usually go to smoke weed? At school, with no car I just go to a nearby porta potty and light up in there. They’re used so infrequently that they don’t really smell.
If it’s in a sealed tube (i.e. with wax or some other sealant,) you probably have a bit more time with it. I wouldn’t risk it, though. If its a real Cuban, smoke it before it goes bad.
If you plan on smoking more cigars, however, get a cheap humidor and put it in there. That way you can smoke it whenever you want, and you have the added bonus of allowing the cigar to age a bit, developing a different, tastier flavor profile.
I smoke Parliament lights. Usually go through a pack every 3 days. I also smoke lots of bud. I think after my surgery I’m going cold turkey on the smokes and just smoke bud if I really need a cigarette. With gas prices and everything else being more expensive, I think cutting one habit will help me some what. As for bud, I don’t think I’ll quit that for a long time.
Newports since 13, Milds and Weed 17~19, Hookah since 23 - I’m 26 now.
I smoke about a pack a lasts me 1 ~ 2 days tops, I need to chill out and cut back a little…truth be told I might quit in my 30’s - I’ve tried a few times but failed.
Menthol Smokers: Do NOT pick up Marlboro Smooths, I’ve NEVER had a “Smokers Cough” till I fucked with those things - after a month of going back to Newports I’m fine again.
Quite frankly some people have the genes to deal with smoking and some don’t - My family is a smoking bunch of motherfuckers and none of us - NONE of us has ever died from lung cancer or any other smoking related illness and all have lived into the late 80’s early 90’s.

I got these in the mail today. It’s an electronic cigarette.
I had read about them and was looking for an alternative to regular cigarettes, but the whole social thing and the manual and oral (no homo) fixations were never fully satisfied when I tried stuff like nicotine gum or the patch. So far they seem to be like a good purchase, I got some medium strength cartridges and some strawberry flavored medium strength ones. The starter pack comes with like two of each strength of regular “tobacco” flavor.
The smoke isn’t as thick, harsh, or lung-filling, but I’m okay with that. I probably won’t replace all my smoking with these right off the bat, but I hope to be able to get rid of smoking regular cigarettes by the end of next week.
Anyone know anything about the health implications of these types of smokes? The only chemical besides nicotine in them is propyl glycol, which is the same stuff used in smoke/fog machines. That stuff is FDA approved (which doesn’t say much anyway), but it’s also in a lot of the foods we eat on a daily basis, so I’m justifying replacing regular smokes with these because of that information and the fact that I’m cutting out nearly 2,000 other chemicals including carbon monoxide.
Thoughts and opinions? I’ll let you know how long a cartridge lasts me and how long the battery lasts in a few days after I do some experimentation.
Our President elect is a smoker…
So i expect these foolish smoking laws to be abolished sooner or later…
You gonna tell the president he can’t smoke indoors?..
yeah…
Well, I’m making the switch more for personal reasons rather than not being able to smoke indoors. So far I’ve been pretty successful and have only had one smoke in the past 6 hours, using these as a substitute. Feeling good about this so far.
Is it true that it’s legal to grow your own in the state of California? I’ve heard word of this quite often lately…
EEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!
WRONG!
a total hypocritical pussy like the rest in washington and america as a whole nation.
which is why the americans haven’t won a war in over 50 years.
because of:
pussy-like …behavior.
common statement made by american men circa 1941-"we eat lightning, crap thunder, we’re gonna kick nazi + jap ass till we make em our bitches."
common american statement circa 2010-“ew. there is second hand smoke around me in front of this building.”
“oh noooo! now i’m gonna die! eeeeeeeeek”
see.
with that pussyfied attitude…you’re never gonna win the war against terrorism. or any other war for that matter.
america.
what happened?
what happened to the men in this country?
where’s john wayne when you need him.
now your film hero is that punk bitch from the Twillight movies.
sad.
sad n pathetic.
now every guy is tweezing eyebrows, shaving armpits, wearing earrings,…and throwin hissy fits over making minor contact with second hand smoke.
disgusting.
how did you americans win WWII again?
you can’t be the same people that head stomped the NAZIS into the dust.
you just can’t be.
OBAMA a smoker who never smokes in public, never allows himself to be seen or photgraphed smoking…“god forbid”…signed the anti-fruit flavored ban bill into law in 2009…
and he signed a bill into law making it illegal to transport cigs via mail.
he’s worse than a hypocrite…
he’s another ball-less pussy.
why does he go into hiding and into the shadows, each and every time he wants to smoke?
why does he go into the closet, to smoke?
what?
is he afraid of somethin’?
pussy.
when exactly, did american men lose their balls?
when exactly did all american men catch an extreme case of PUSSYITIS?
pathetic.
do yourselves a favor, americanos…and grow a pair.
wanna read somethin funny?
so, yesterday…i was remembering having smoked years back, a peach flavored filtered cigar.
when you crack open the cigar box, it smells just like peaches, but when you actually smoked one, it tastes terrible, because the tobacco inside is fruit flavored, but the tobacco leaf used to wrap the cigar, is not. so, that strong tobacco leaf taste, cancels out the taste of the peach flavored tobacco, on its inside.
so then i thought to myself,…"hmmmmm. i wonder how a peach flavored cigarette tastes like. must taste good, since it won’t have that tobacco leaf wrapping, therefore it should taste just like peaches. hmmmm that interesting. i think i’ll buy one to just try one out.“
then, 10 seconds later i remembered,“oh, thats right. the americanos made fruit flavored cigs illegal a while back.” damn. wait a minute. why can’t i buy what i wanna again?”’
so, i decided to check out this law myself. i ended up on the fda.gov page where this law is written in full detail.
so, i began reading, and in a certain section/article number,…this is what it said…
this isn’t a direct quote, because i can’t remember every word, line for line, but it is essentially what it said-
“any fruit or fruit flavored substance that makes physical contact, or is mixed into tobacco that shall be used for the expressed purpose of cigarette smoking, WHETHER IT BE FACTORY MANUFACTORED OR LOOSE TOBACCO THAT SHALL BE USED IN PERSONALLY HAND ROLLED CIGARETTES BY CONSUMER OR USER, shall be deemed as unlawful contraband. any violator shall be punished by the extent of the law, and held liable for punishment by either jail sentence or fine.”
in other words,…
you can’t, for example-
cut a lemon into tiny bits n pieces, dehydrate it by sun-drying it, take those bits and pieces of lemon, mix it with some loose tobacco, place it on hand rolling paper, and hand roll it into a cigarette.
it then becomes an illegal object. punishable by fine/imprisonment.
that also means,
for example-
you can’t take a Marlboro cigarette, and dip it into a cup of Tropicana orange juice, because once you do so, that Marlboro cigarette INSTANTLY TRANSFORMS into unlawful contraband…punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.
it means if you were to dip a cigarette into some juice(KEEP IN MIND THE LAW STATES ANY PHYSICAL MIXTURE OF CIGARETTE TOBACCO WITH ANY SUBSTANCE CONTAING A FRUIT FLAVOR,REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ITS BY A CIGARETTE MANUFACTURER OR ITS CoNSUMER ) in front of a ATF agent, or possibly another law enforcing agent, that officer of the law, can handcuff you, and arrest you for that criminal act, and you are then subject to prosecution in the form of fines or imprisonment.
???
~O-o’
???
'O-o~
LOL!
what?
how disturbingly insane!
how utterly retarded.
are the people in this country for real?
tell me you’re all joking.
you’re jokin, right?
sooooo…i’m guessing i can’t smoke a cig and chew on a apple at the same time. or drink a cup of coffee and smoke at the same time. and to think, i’ve been violating the law all this time.
i mean, both flavors are mixing together…i’m tasting the apple flavor and the tobacco’s flavor simultaneously. they are mixing, they are just mixing INSIDE of my mouth, instead of outside of my mouth.
or is the mixing of the taste of cigarette tobacco along with the taste of coffee,chocolate, clove,strawberries,lemons,peaches,rasberries, oranges, apples,mint leaves,etc,etc…somehow, ok. is it as long as that mixture of flavors occurs inside of your mouth and not outside of your mouth?
so.
it is now illegal for two flavors to mix together, from two different legal products.
hmmm?
this is proof, the american race, has officially lost its mind!
whats crazier?
which law is more nonsensical and irrational?
this u.s. law that states the mixing together of two different flavors from two different legal products, is against the law…
or the saudi arabian law that states its illegal for women to drive cars,…soley because they are women.
whats crazier.
you are all retarded.
and worse, you’ve all become sheep.
your govt rules you with an iron fist.
cuz, you are sheep.
and sheep were meant to be sheered.
laughable.
god bless america…and saudi arabia.
two civilized countries who firmly affirm the freedoms of its citizens.
can i get an amen?
EDIT:
forgot to mention this, menthol is excluded from this act.
menthol.
yunno, the most popular flavor affixed to cigarette tobacco.
menthol…aka, fiberglass.
