I'd quit if they were not so damned addictive. The next person who asks me would I not think about quitting will get a smoke flicked into their eyeball.

Rolly tobacco is the way to go

E4.20 for a 12.5g and a packet of skins. Sorted.

I prefer the bag and to buy my own skins I find the foil wrapper in the box awkward when rolling on the go.

Up until recently I was smoking 20 a day,which was costing my about 60 quid a week. Stupid money!! I've since changed to rollie tobacco, One large packet of Amber Leaf which costs £8:50 and a packets of filters which coast about a euro lasts my the entire week.

That's what they were saying when they were €7.50 etc.

Either way, more incentive for people to give them up like myself.

The foil wraping was annoyin alright. There's miniature pouches you get in those boxes now. Would look normal in size if in the hands of a small person..

I bought golden virginia 2 days ago and it was foil, what brand has the pouch?

Smoke a pipe; much cheaper, lasts longer, smells delicious and you'll look awfully wise.

- Learn to roll (you can do this in a day)
- Acquire friends
- When said friends are going abroad, politely request they bring back as much rolling baccy as they can from the airport (it's about €50 for half a kilo)
- Laugh wheezily when anti-smokers tell you you're raping your pockets by smoking.

+1. To be honest, when I see someone of around that age smoking a pipe, the first thing that springs to mind is "attention seeker."

I've often smoked a pipe and I'm 25. While you're looking at me thinking that, I'd probably be looking back at you thinking 'I don't give a shit about your opinion'.

Some people like the smell of pipes. Some people like the smell of Armani. Some people like Dutch Gold from a can, others like premium beer from a snifter. Who the f*ck really cares what some people think is pretentious? Nobody should be so self conscious, if a man likes a pipe he likes a pipe.

Enjoy your lung cancer and premature again ye losers! Smoking is such a scummy thing tbh!

nice_very

was this from a shop or a machine? I bought 20 marlboro lights gold :rolleyes: around 20.30 this evening, for 8.55 in a centra, but I know they are 8.60/8.70 in some machines

One thing worse than a group of smokers. A pretentious git who comes along and comments on how filthy a habit it is.

We know it is, feck off and let us enjoy our dirty habit!

And 100% of non-smokers live forever skipping through the fields with perfect health and perfect teeth.

And then cancer comes along then, anyways

They're always adding a bit of loose change onto the price of fags which is just a cheap tactic to generate cash. The upcoming budget will surely screw things up.
