    Why do only women seem to smoke 100's?
    Is it value for money(same price, longer ciggie) or a femininity thing?

    I hardly see anyone smoking 100's these days,male or female. Never liked them myself.never tasted the same as a regular smoke!

    Nearly always seems to be middle aged - older women in my experience, maybe that's co-incidental I don't know. It's hard to pinpoint a cause for it, women this age who smoke, really seem to smoke like they're really into it. Chatting and smoking and drinking tea with similar individuals for hours. Humans are strange things :rolleyes:

    Perhaps it's brand loyalty that accounts for the older age group only smoking 100's.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I always found 100's annoying. They last too long - especially when you are outside a pub in March.

    100's are available with most brands, and the reason they sell 100's is to use up excess and waste tobacco that didnt reach the quality standards used in the normal sized smokes. so, when you buy 100's you're actually not getting the value for your money you thought you were. they are longer, and there is more tobacco in them, but its not at the same quality as the normal tobacco they use in regular smokes so i'll be sticking to my regular sized ones!

    Totally agree. They're too long. I'd only buy them because they didn't have regular ones left, and be stuck with them for the day. or maybe even two days. Either way, when I go out for a smoke with people in a pub or whatever, they always finish theirs way before I can finish and complain "You're the slowest smoker ever, jesus would ya bleeeedin hurry up"
