    Yet another post to bide my time. Personally I prefer Marlboro at the moment, they seem to hit the spot, yeah I know its a filthy habit and one which I will give up at some stage, but for now I'm passionate about them :)


    n..b. As for my cs poll I can only put what I pertain as the most popular smokes. Any other brands smoked just post a reply.


    Yep I know the effects of smoking and as I stated I'm giving up soon, however I don't think yet another pic of a fried lung is going to defer smokers from their habit, but if it does fair play.

    It's just that it could be seen as promoting them :( (to the kiddies! ;))


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Corega


    How could it be seen as promoting them to kiddies!!! The particular poll is aimed at poeple who already smoke, thats more or less saying that if a kid sees some smokes in a shop that he wants to buy them. No offence intended Victor but have you ever heard of freedom of speech?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    Shut up Victor. But cue the nazi anti-smoking brigade anyway:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz


    OHNOE WONT SOEMOEN THINK FO TEH CHIELDRAN!!!

    perish the thought they might just ignore it since they dont (And arent stupid enough to) smoke

    Well aren't you damn cool so :rolleyes:
    Those smokers lungs look lovely so they do, bit of gravy and they'd go down a treat :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭El Marco


    Wheres the 'major' choice. I mean if your gonna kill yourself at least do it in style :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,651 ✭✭✭Enygma


    Yeah that lung on the right looks really tasty. :)

    Come on! Lungs are disgusting looking anways, regardless of wheter the person smoked or not.

    I used to smoke Fusion, before. The rep gave me a bunch of them and loads of free stuff when they came out, and they are a really nice smooth blend. Like Silk Cut Blue without the edge :)


    *Still off em btw*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    You know for something thats addictive, disgusting, fatal and ludicrously expensive smoking is surprisingly enjoyable.

    Oh and Marlboro Lights are the brand that are currently turning my lungs to fried liver.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭TacT


    I'd love a bit of tomato sauce with the emphysema and I'll have gravy with my cancer thank you very much :p

    My Marlboro red are doing a lovely job turning my lungs into a carconogenic emphysemi centre of love :D and they are so damn tasty.

    Smoked John player blue for 5 years, took up silk cut purple for a few months, tried silk cut blue and I got the worst sore throat I've ever had for trying to get a drag off my smoke! (nm the sore throat you get from smoking major. SCBlue = the worst pain ever, ya can't even taste them)

    Then tasty Marlboro lights did the job but lacked that little satisfactory UMPH so here we are.

    While we're on the topic what are the best ways to give up, someone mentioned some homeopathic therapy :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭The_Bullman


    has anyone else tried silk cut red. the nicest silk cut imo. not much stronger than purple but soo much more tasty.

    off them now i'm afraid. sometimes, i wish i weren't though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭TinCool

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    Used to smoke camel lights, and they would still be of preference, but it's just so bloody hard to find a fag machine in the pub that doles them out that i'm pretty much on silk cut blue all the time.

    Oh - or OPs.

    doesnt make much sense when the question is for those who DO.

    Marlboro Lights are my own particular choice brand, I'm afraid... BUT IM TRYING RINGO, IM TRYING REAL HARD!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,335 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    Everyone seems to start off on the Johnny Blues in their teens, same as meself. I don't know many people over the age of 17 or so that smoke JPB.

    Switched from JPB to sweet sweet rollies (purely because of always having rolling tobacco and skins on me for 'other' reasons, and not being bothered to head up to the shop for a pack of smokes). Rollies, to those who smoke them regularly, are the nicest smokes on earth. I eventually got sick of having to roll up every time I wanted a cigarette, and the only pre-rolled brand I could smoke were marlboro red (which I discovered after bumming marlboros off a friend in the pub one time when I was out of rollie tobacco). Marlboro Red, to those who smoke them regularly, are the nicest smokes on earth ;)

    Now the problem with both rollies and Marlboro is the fact that other cigarettes taste like ****e when you're used to the above. This makes it hard to switch brands (even Marlboro Lights - ****ing manky) if you get the urge to do so. But I decided to cut down (albeit very gradually...) and switched to Benson & Hedges (like a milligram less tar or something). B&H, to those who smoke them regularly, are the nicest smokes on earth... but for some reason other brands don't taste like absolute muck, just inferior. Which means it's quite easy to switch from B&H to another brand if one were so inclined. When I caught myself smoking 20 B&H a day, I thought it was time for a drastic rehaul of my smoking habit.

    Which brought me on to Camel Lights. Less nicotine, so I was cutting down a bit, but still able to switch to a weaker brand later when I felt like it. I decided to concentrate on cutting back on the number of cigarettes a day for starters, to worry about the addictive strength later. I gradually cut down to 10 a day. Then I started cutting down on the nicotine intake, and flirted with Kent Silver for a bit (.4mg nicotine, nice smoke, but only available in 20-packs and hard to find, unavailable in pubs as far as I know) before finally deciding on Silk Cut Blue (again .4 nicotine, but well-established therefore easily available).

    So my answer to the poll, currently, would be Silk Cut Blue.

    Now, can anyone reccomend me an easily-available brand of .2 or .3mg nicotine for my next cutting-down step?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Corega


    I'd like chili and crushed peppercorns on those lungs please, lovely :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    I smoke B&H..they work for me. Occassionally known to smoke Carrolls or if I'm trying to cut down, Marlboro Light


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭smiles


    Hmmm... first was Major scabbed off a mate, then about a year later started onto B&H for a year or two, don't smoke now, well apart from the odd rollie.

    Silk Cut, but i love a yummy rollie now and again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,025 ✭✭✭yellum


    A non-smokers lungs from a large city can be equally foul looking. Look at all the **** that chimneys and cars spew out.

    I don't smoke myself but I support Bill Hick's answer to the anti-smoking fascists: Thousands of Non-smokers die everyday too.

    " I'm Bill Hicks and I'm dead now because I smoked cigarettes. Cigarettes didn't kill me, a bunch of non-smokers kicked the **** out of me one day. I tried to run, they had more energy than I. I tried to hide, they heard me wheezing. Many of them smelled me. "


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,626 ✭✭✭smoke.me.a.kipper


    im currently killing myself with carrols, but i am partial to a benson or silk cut purple.

    Moot point 'cos I gave up after smoking for just under fifteen years without breaks.

    To be honest the anti-smoking propaganda, or perhaps more the manner in which smokers are treated in modern society, probably kept me smoking for an extra two or three years, out of sheer pig-headedness (a quality which is very useful when you do finally quit).

    Originally, smoked Marlboro (Red - still the best, if a little heavy) for a few years then went onto the Silk Cuts. Switched to an Italian brand called MS about five years ago (quite nice and they cost me half the the price of Irish ciggies).

    Finally started to wind down onto Silk Cut Ultra about a year and a half ago, and almost two months ago, I just stopped - Smoking wasn't fun any more. So far so good.

    Actually traffic fumes are only a material proplem at street level (more so in the city centre with more traffic, taller buildings and less open / green space).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Corega


    Speaking of giving up, which I am, my dad finally gave up after 17 years on them he's now using a nicorette inhaler, but we went out for a meal and there's me puffing away on his very own brand in front of him, he did'nt seem to mind though as he's gonna have to live with things like that.

    He's now about 3 months off them and he still has my support.

    Rollies are perfect for a student, much cheaper than normal ciggies. Although it does take a while to get used to rolling them.
