    yes, yes it is. i dont understand the attraction to filling your lungs with smoke, whats wrong with clean fresh air???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 784 ✭✭✭bacon?


    yes, yes it's bad for you.

    not the point of the forum.

    i'm just curious as to which is the most popular brand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭toiletduck


    i would think marlbro would be the most popular.

    and to those you who object, please feel free to start a thread along those lines, this one is to find out which is the most widely smoked


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭joejoem


    John Player Lights - the nice cig. If the shop doesnt have them I would go for Malbro Lights next then Silk Cut Puffter I mean purple

    Oi, they're more manly than silk cut blue! :p
    i never really liked john player


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,004 ✭✭✭Big Ears


    But..........but smokings bad .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 930 ✭✭✭-oRnein9-


    John Player Blue, oh and the ten or 15 box tastes so much better than the 20's :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Silk Cut Blue or Marlboro Lights depending on my mood.

    The Silk Cut Tobacco is nicer for mixing with other substances though :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭Ishmael


    oh you forgot to put asbestos....i mean rothmans in there too. although i doubt anyone actually smokes these out of anything other than desparation.

    can't smoke malboro's...give me headaches
    silk purple is ok, silk cut slims are nicer i think.

    Anyone see those little plastic things you put on the butt of the fag to filter out a load of the tar in the smoke, come in little boxes, 1 does about 5 fags.
    Tried them out, they're a little weird but seem to do the trick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭toiletduck


    rothmans are rotten, the last time i had one i got a splitting headache!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,513 ✭✭✭Sleipnir


    Used to smoke Marlboro Red or Sick Cut Red (mini cigarettes) but now on Marlboro Lights.
    God I don't want to smoke anymore, I'm sick of it so I'm signing up for an Allen Carr course as soon as I get paid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,053 ✭✭✭jimbling


    im a drinking smoker... like so many these days.... but malboro lights would be the most likely one.... if i actually buy some...

    point to note: john player lights dont exist anymore.... under new laws no cigarette can be called light... gives the impression that they're not bad for you.
    if you look there actually called john player brights....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,053 ✭✭✭jimbling


    did you read the book... it can be quite convincing in the brain washing via repetition method....

    i felt it would have worked on me too, only i was a social smoker... and a lot of it didnt really apply to me... (just slated us a bit for half a chapter)

    did give up for about 6/8 weeks though... started again when exam time was around.

    as well as social... under a lot of stress i will have a smoke.

    I would smoke a pipe in the evenings, or a nice cigar. If I do smoke cigs I would most likely go the Mally lights(brights/golds whatever) route. I used to like Dunhills and way back in the day those black gold tipped Balkan sobranies really hit the spot. Bloody lovely they were, very aromatic, though a bit over the top isn't in it :D Hell it was the 80's

    Yeah I quit for two years when I read the book. Whatever about starting in the 1st place, taking it up again really does take the biscuit in the stupidity stakes.
    Read the book about 4 times since the beginning of the year but it doesn't seem to 'take' (if you know what I mean)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,419 ✭✭✭nadir


    You dont have Camel in your poll, whats that all about?
    I dont smoke much any more, but it would have to be Camel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,331 ✭✭✭Keyzer


    Marlboro Lights or Lucky strike lights...

    From my working-in-a-shop days, Carrolls and Silk Cut Purple, closely followed by B&H seem to be the most popular brands amongst the customers.

    Don't smoke myself.

    Only if ya don't mix it with tobacco and the juries still out on the psychological damage. Anyway, the way most things are bad for you nowadays, we're all doomed I tell ya, dooooooooooomed.

    malboro lights are the most disgusting smoke available, they spend the longest time of all cigarettes in storage before reaching the shop (3 years +), it is a complete mystery to me why they are so popular, they taste like ass :mad:

    i'd usually go with camel lights, jpb or carolls red.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    Where's "none" in the poll


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭angelofdeath


    golden virginia or cutters choice for me

    Yes, but it's all about the "pose" factor when it comes to smoking marlboro anything.

    When I used to smoke regular it was Carrolls. For spliffs I use sweet afton (not kidding); best quality tobacco nowadays is only found in filterless cigs.
    Next time you break open a fag take a look through what's inside; I've found small bits of plastic, cardboard and other unidentifiable stuff that was definitely not tobacco...one of the contributing factors to me quitting...

    It went up in smoke.

    Agree with Wertz about the quality of ciggies. They have the worst tobacco going. It might go some way to explaining why pipe and cigar smokers live longer. Ever try those organic tobacco cigarettes. V nice and after a night on the rip smoking them, no nicotine hangover either.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,659 ✭✭✭Shabadu


    When I smoked I was a B&H girl all the way- Dunhill if I was feeling rich. Then I got pregnant, so no more tobaccoey goodness since.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,908 ✭✭✭CrowdedHouse


    Marlboro Red since they stopped supplying Camel (unfiltered) in Ireland

    Seven Worlds will Collide

    Why Nadir, we must never meet: if we did, the entire universe would disappear in a cloud of strange particles, just as if anti-pasta and pasta collided.

    It's nice to know where my evil twin has got to: or maybe I'm the evil one ...

    This is another AH thread: who's the evil opposite of your username on boards ...
