I ran out of cigarettes

ok as a non smoker, what is the point of smoking if you dont inhale?
if i take two "drags" off a cigarette i get light headed, i thought that was the attraction, the buzz?

if you dont inhale you dont get anything, right?

The 'high' feeling of it only lasts like the first smoke or two after that it is just straight nicotine to the lungs no nothing to show for it other than picking up a nasty expensive habit.

Haven't tried those mother****ers but I heard they are fantastic for the money, esp. with a good scotch.
A Series are some nice sticks too. I got a sampler pack of them when they came out.

Well, to give you an idea of what you'd be in for... That stick, lasted me a good 1.5 hrs. That was with me rushing it, and included several burn corrections (hell, they're not all perfect). So I dont doubt it being an easy 2hr stick. So make sure you've got time to spare for that one.

I definitely find myself ordering more on the mild-medium side for daily smokes though, and keeping a small reserve for scotch companions.

I try to keep it to once every now & then, otherwise I can justify milds. I just stick to med-full since its not an everyday thing personally.

Thats a nicotine buzz and goes away for smokers rather quickly. A cigar though, depending on the stick can, and will kick your ***. If two puffs off a cigg gets you buzzed, //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif try a full body cigar. You'll be on your *** for a while.

As for what you get, its kind of an afiction. Some get it, most dont. In comparison, its like people that love whiskey, scotch, etc. For most, they all taste like the same shit. Some however can tell a large difference between one to the other.

Same goes for beers. There is a large base to choose from and they're all different. Same goes for cigars, plus they (the good ones) usually change flavor a few times throughout the smoke. Its just one of those things you've got to try a few times to understand.

meh, I'm not addicted to them at all. I probably only smoke 2-3 cigarettes a day.

But I usually smoke up a storm when I drink on the weekends. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

you and me both. i hate it, but at the same time i don't. And non-smokers probably will just blame this on the addiction, but i don't want to quit.

i've quit before, for a couple months. After 3 days it's easy because the nicotine is out of your system. then it's just a matter of not going to buy a pack. But there are just sometimes when i ENJOY smoking.

one of these days i'll get sick of it though. every day that passes i get a little more sick of it.

exactly where I am about it

my wife wants me to quit for the baby (not here yet)

but hell, I dont smoke around her, and I **** sure wont around the baby

eh

I enjoy my addiction, but I know Ill get rid of it one day

Ive quit before for 7 months

went back to it because I liked it, not because I was craving it

i don't get why people don't understand that.

 

[savagebee 10+ year member]

I wont lie, quitting is hard, but after a few days, just keep something around, like gum, candy etc, to help curve it

It's a relaxation/taste thing. Cigarettes are made with terrible junk *** tobacco and machine rolled by the carton.

Real cigars (read, not your swishers, phillys, or whatever the christ terrible other garbage) are made with specifically hand selected strains of tobacco and hand rolled by master rollers, then usually aged. The taste is dynamic and interesting, moreso in my opinion than even wine.

Sitting back in a good chair (I

As someone that has a self diagnosed borderline psychotic brain function that's basically a constant tornado of sawblades crashing through every moment, this benefit is not only appreciated, its necessary to keep me functional. hah.

ps- lmao @ ur sig.

LOL I love when people say this. When do you think you really will want to then? People always find an excuse to start up again, the longer you continue to make it a habbit the worse its going to get. Also, why will it be hard not to smoke in college? 'cause everyone else does it? I hope that's not your reasoning but unfortunately I feel like it is.
If people are going to smoke something I don't understand why they would smoke cigs over weed.

Im sayin its gonna hard to quit in college when im just sitting around the dorm outta my mind

when i stopped smoking pot , i was smoking 3 packs a day. im back down to less than one pack a day. and if youre not even old enough to buy them , why not quit while youre ahead?

whats really bad , is that when i got my toncils out , first day i was out of the hospital , i smoked a newport. that was....interesting.

I smoked over a pack a day for about 8 years (from 14-22). I quit cold turkey 9 days ago. 2 of my roommates smoke so that made it some what hard, but now I don't like the smell. Funny how that changes. I;m honestly spending the same amount on gum and seeds as I did on a pack of smokes a day but I know it won't last forever.
