The Ku Klux Klan cigarettes? You fascist bastard. Half of malboro's profits go straight into the KKK's back-pockets. You are funding racism by buying marlboro. Get with the program and get some B&H down your neck.

yes, but who smokes 3 joints EVERY DAY.. (me when the summer park season is at hand. oops.) and still, one usually shares the joints with others ;)
i actually didn't smoke so much when i smoked cigs, usually one package lasted for days. i smoked pall mall menthol (but not light menthol, euuurgh).

Yes, but if you share doobies you can catch AIDS from others. Yuk!
When I smoked, I smoked Fortunas, Golden Virginia or Lambert & Butler (the cigarette for the more discerning gentleman).

I dont know if we get B&H over here. I will see though.
I wouldn't want to support evil organizations and fascist corporate, but if they are not as strong as Red's I wont switch brands. See the thing is I really don't give a fuck either way, and if I did I wouldn't have started smoking in the first place. I bet ceo's of H&R are the saints of the tobacco industry, otherwise you wouldn't have suggested I buy their cancerous product.

I went on nicotine patches for 5 days but gave them up before the end of the two week course. So now I'm flying solo.

That sounds relatively hassle free. [how many packs were you on/day]
You must earn about twice the am/ount you did before you quit or something?

I smoked 15 to 15 a day, then cut down to about 5-10 a few months ago.
But I smoked cheap cigarettes/tobacco from Spain so the bonus a recent quitter gets of a fatter wallet is not one I am enjoying. But I am richer in terms of my health eh?

None really as I used nicotine patches. But I did come down with a cold and they say you are more susceptible after giving up.

I had a major operation on my head (to remove a tumour... ). Up to that point I had smoked between 15 and 40 cigs a day for 8 years. After the Op I stopped smoking cigarettes completely (although I did cain the weed!). What was really strange was that my need for cigarettes completely and utterly dissappeared, I could even conceive of putting a filter to my lips... it seemed alien to me.
Unfortunately, about 15 months later I was seeing the monster that is my Avatar (shes actually pretty fit) who smoked around 40 a day, and she started to really stress me out, so I took up the habit once more!
I just need another tumour, and I'll be sorted again!

who is "-That Guy on the Piano."
sounds like he has a typical smokers attitude. but i'm not concerned with the health aspect, i'm against smokers inflicting the intrusive and overpowering smell of smoke on everyone.
it's like someone walking into a room full of people and just farting everywhere. relentlessly. just bloody offensive.

i smoke camel lights, about 20-30 a day...my habit increases and decreases, though i've yet to find a pattern. i used to smoke about 40 or 50 a day, but now some days i smoke no more than 8 or so.
smoking sucks, i really want to quit, but at the same time i don't want to bad enough. i want to be a better breather, and a more physical person altogether, really. i should stop. did once for about two weeks...

i think it's because i thoroughly enjoy the ACT of smoking, but don't like the effects (coughing, trouble breathing or doing physical things, smelling like a ciggy when i hold my nephew)
