I started with Amber Leaf, moved to Golden V, then when I couldn't be bothered to roll my own, Regal/Embassy... a little to weak to my taste. Mayfair seemed perfect; cheap and of decent strength. I saw the B&H Black the other day and decided to try some (nice looking pack)... they seem the same strength as Mayfair but with a nice BBQ flavour. I think I've just found my new smoke :)

What say you?

PS. Mods, if this is a little too off-topic; feel free to delete.

I don't smoke, hate people who stand at train stations blowing smoke in my face, hate coming home from gigs and clubs smelling like smoke and can't wait until 01/01/08 when all smoking in public buildings (including bars etc) will be banned here in Germany.

But feel free to kill yourself in the privacy of your own homes :)

Parliament lights... they taste decent, the hard filter is real nice, and they don't mess my lungs like other brands.

Or maybe not as quickly... ;)

I didn't know people really still smoked... now that everyone knows what it does to our bodies, I don't get it. But, to each their own of course...

You should come to Britain then

You are no longer allowed to smoke in clubs, pubs, gigs or train stations

Hmm...yeah. I really can not stand when people tell smokers how bad smoking is for the body. Seriously, everyone knows the dangers of smoking. And everyone is capable of making a rational decision regarding their own body. Let them be. It really is none of your business.

As for people smoking in public, people overreact about this so much, I can not help but laugh. I do not smoke, never have smoked, and am rarely around smoke. But when someone lights up in front of me, I don't immediately start whining about it. Get over it. You encounter unappealing smells, sounds, and people on a daily basis. The only difference? You are letting it get on your nerves. And you can not logically bring up the "It's bad for me" argument. The human body has a wonderful way of cleaning itself up (http://quitsmoking.about.com/cs/afterquitting/a/after_quitting.htm).

I do not smoke cigarettes, but hookahs are very fun. There is nothing like chilling with friends talking around a hookah.

Question for smokers. Do you know a place online that ships cigarettes internationally? And takes Mastercard? I'm having so much trouble finding a place. And the ones I do find are pretty shady.

Actually, some people are terribly ALLERGIC to cigarette smoke. It makes my throat swell as well as making my lungs ache! The fact that it is illegal to smoke in public buildings makes my quality of life much better. People that think polluting the air is covered under human rights really annoy me.

Are you saying that because YOU are allergic to something, everyone else will have to sacrifice their way of life?

And polluting air? Do you drive a car? Own a house? Mow your lawn? Shop at a store? Use a computer? The air you breathe is far from clean, even without cigarettes.

Moderator Note: Please don't let this turn into an "I hate smokers" or a debate on whether people should smoke or not thread. If you want to voice your opinion that is fine, but please don't come here to argue.

--Cheers

It's not like I'm the only person allergic to cigarette smoke. I'm not saying that someone shouldn't have the right to smoke. I'm just saying that people's right to breathe semi-clean air is far more important than someone else's right to suck smoke into their lungs, just to destroy alveoli. By calling it a way of life, you are implying that smoking cigarettes is as important as food and shelter. Those are ways of life. People don't (usually) have sex in public. No one is saying that people should not have sex, it just doesn't need to be done in public. IMO, and obviously in the opinion of the majority of the voting public in our great state of Ohio, smoking does not need to be done in public either. And no, I don't use a computer. I'm communicating through a surgically-implanted web browser that exists within the confines of my own brain. ;)
