What cigarettes do you smoke?

Conor84

I was at a wedding at the weekend down the country and went to get cigarettes and got John Player Blue and one of the lads said oh I thought only Dublin knackers smoked them! Well he was half right.

Nobody else seemed to be smoking JPB there. I've smoked them since I started smoking at school and most of my mates smoke them too. At work though Marlboro Lights, Bensons and Amber Leaf are the main ones.

Got me thinking about the different brands and why people go for what they do? What are most popular now?

I'm doing that awful vaping stuff now but before that it was Camel Blues. God I miss them.

No.6. Then skinned with Old H. Then switched to Golden V.

Strange. When on the H, I despised GV. When I took to GV? I found OH disgusting. Too juicy.

Then, after forty odd years of it, I got word of " Snus " ~ just before the govt's did. Got some of that and, after maybe a year, or less, of Really loving the pantheon of flavours? I just ..... stopped.

Been nicotine free for years now. Lungs seem fine. Heart's a piece of sh!t though. Cest la vie.

Back to the spirit of the thread though. If I were to go back to it ....? Snus! Absolutely no question. It's like comparing waters / fags to food / snus

I smoke that sticky icky Bensy hedgy y'all!

I find it hard to understand how anybody still smokes nowadays, with all we know about the diseases it causes with so many people having witnessed people close to them dying from smoking related cancer. Is it not real enough for you?

I dunno: because it feels good and they're addictive?

Because most people start when they're young and feel physically in tip-top shape and the people they see going around hacking up their lungs, or carting around an oxygen tank, feel like stories that will never happen to them, and that are the result of a lifetime of fags, whereas the future's still unwritten in their own case.

I'd be partial to the odd Amber Leaf rollie myself, but if I'm drinking: I'll take whatever's going.

Yeah that's what I'm saying though, why do people not take any notice of all the evidence that it's going to do bad things to you.

Woodbine are a lot healthier than any of the chemical modern muck. Speaking of Player's, do you still get the Navy Cut? Now there was a smoke

Do you mean the ones without the filter? My father used to smoke them until he gave smoking 25 years ago. As a kid, I'd be sent to the shop most days for '20 Players and the Evening Press'.

Marlboro lights are my poison of choice but trying to drastcally reduce. Also Smoked blue Gitanes and silk cut red for a while...its a horrible fcuking habit

Clonmel1000

My wife who terms herself a social smoker smokes silk cut purple or superkings black. She smokes only after a few drinks and never at any other time.

StillThinking

Started on silk cut purple when I was 19, somebody gave me a Marlboro light when I was about 20 and still remember how amazing it was. Smoked 20 Marlboro lights and 10-15 Mayfair menthol for years, went down to rollies when I was skint, used to like the yellow golden Virginia.
Been off them for 3 years now and been using a vap for about a year and a half, it's far worse than fags are to quit.

haven't smoked in years but used to be John Player Blue.

Duggy747

Lol, the usuals just couldn't resist chiming in with their condescending judgement in a thread specifically asking smokers a preference question. They go together like shít and stink :pac:

Gave up the fags meself in August 2014 but used to be a B&H man..........yeah, really lived in the thick of flavour town there. :P

Amber Leaf did nothing for me except leave my mouth dryer than Gandhi's sandal, never really liked the taste of it. Though most people I know who are smoking these days are on either it or Drum rather than the usual fags like B&H / Silk Cut / Marlboro.

Don't see John Player Blue being smoked these days, Camel pops up a bit though.

JustShon

I've been off them since November but I used to be very fond of Marlboro Reds.

If I was still smoking I'd definitely be going on to either snuff, snus or an ecig. All great harm reduction that people are woefully ignorant of. Snus is considered so bad that it's banned everywhere except Sweden, where it doesn't even come close to causing the harm to users that smoking does to smokers. Very strange that harm reduction is ignored in favour of failed puritanism.

It was Major Extra Size that killed both of my parents. I miss them... not the Major!

Smoked for 7 years on and off, jesus I feel old saying that but I'm not at all

John player blue was all I smoked.... Camel if I was abroad or someone was bringing me back cigarettes from somewhere.

Well done for being off them 4 years.

Off them 5 years and glad I am. I don't miss anything about them and don't see what there is to miss.

When you make your mind up tp stop smoking (Don't say gave up, that implies you're missing out on something) then you realise that smoking offers up zero advantages and only disadvantages. An important mental distinction to make and means stopping becomes a whole lot easier.
It means I know look back at smoking as a foolish thing I did and enjoy my smoke free world now without hints of regret or longing
