Smokers?

NickPapageorgio · 08-30-2005

I started rolling my own. Fuck it, I figure, if i'm gonna give myself cancer I ain't gonna pay Phillip Morris to package it for me. So far the math says it's gonna save me about $2k per year.

Why'd it take me so long to figure that math out? Zig Zag brand menthol. 8 bucks a can and it rolls about a carton or so.

Peaches · 08-30-2005

My grandfather used to roll his own. Taught my brother how to do it too - when he was 7. My parents were not happy

I don't see how you can smoke w/o a filter though

EroticySteve · 08-31-2005

How much do those filters really stop? Perhaps it's a higher quality tobacco with less addiitives and poison to filter out?

Evil Chris · 08-31-2005

I really need to quit.

Nickatilynx · 08-31-2005

My father in law smoke rollies for 30 years.

He can hardly walk accross a room now.

NickPapageorgio · 08-31-2005

They are filtered.

You can buy either filters that you roll right in the paper, or you can buy tubes which look more like what come in a packaged box but you fill them with a special tube filling machine.

I just roll the filters right into the cig with the tobacco. Little zig zag rolling machine makes it easy and roll the same size every time.

Good thing I work on the computer and don't need to walk across the room tho...

I know how that goes.

I've just brought 10 cartons back from Spain, at $20US per carton. It might not be cheaper than the US but it's about $68 per carton cheaper than the UK

Unfortunately, it IS cheaper than it is here. I'm in the south too and we're paying close to or more than $40 per, depending on where you go for premiums. New York last time I was there was up to around $75 per carton or so.

Nothing like taxing the shit out of people who have an addiction. Damn them are some smart fellers...

A carton of cigs here is C$85.00

DrGuile · 08-31-2005

You're not canadian are you? No? Ok, than I can laugh, because I wont have to pay for the last 20 miserable years of your life.

Also, wtf? You still pay Phillip Morris to kill you... pay them less? Wow, you should get an award.

Anyone has a good answer to the question "Why do you smoke?"

Most people started young, because it was a "rebellious" thing to do.... but you gotta be pretty retarted to think that giving money to billion dollars corporations and your governement is a rebellious act! "Here take this and build a road! Im crazy like that!"

Wow, you are the first person I have heard admitting they use the Zig Zag roller for TABBAKA, not the WACKY TABAKY

I quit for 5 weeks and was having a rough few days a week ago, have been smoking agin for 6 days now... Arguing with the first cigarette of the mornign decision today and lit up a few minutes ago..

I am going to quit again (yeahhh right huh?) after Friday... The stressors that caused me to light up are gone.. Well for the moment anyways. Was better than grabbing some beer or any of the other stupid ass things I could have done - In fact at a meeting not long ago someone told me better to give up smoking and have that to fall back on relapsing than any of the other shit us idiots could do

Canada have gone wild with their prices as well me thinks.

RyanLanane · 08-31-2005

BTW Cental IL, Carton of Dorals is only $29.00 w/TAX

Marlboros about $34 w/TAX

Go to Kentucky... you are lookign at ltierally $10-$15 a carton

"I'm never gonna smoke when cigarettes are $2.00 a pack" became
"I'm never gonna smoke when cigarettes are $3.00 a pack" which became
"I'm never gonna smoke when cigarettes are $4.00 a pack" and guess what

I kept smoking every time, just bitched more - Just like gas.... Except with cigarettes you DON'T 'need' them and believe me you feel alto better as a non smoker... Now chewing.. not as bad for you if you don't mind having your jaw taken out early in your life.. and you don't feel as shitty from it (chest pains in the morning etc..)

You really are rabidly anti-smoking.

Its a good thing.

I just fucking wish I could quit!!!! FUCK!!!

I'm 9 days shy of having gone a year without a drop of booze.
But I can't quit cigs

This is the best I've achieved so far:

No smoking in the house except one room.
Gone from 80 cigs a day (those that know me know that is true) to 30.

May not sound a lot but it is something.My kids told me that there clothes used to stink of cigarettes, now they don't.

Considering the Canadien dollar is worth more than the U.S. that makes it at least 10 USD per pack if I am not mistaken ?

I missed that it was Canadien, that makes them £10 ($18US) per carton cheaper than the UK

Not a good answer...the only correct answer.

Except for me. I only smoke because it makes me look cool and smell nice...just like the magazine ads said.

Vick · 08-31-2005

I like to smoke
Smoking improves synapses (in the brain)
John Wayne looked fucking cool smoking
To annoy you

My uncle died from cancer due to smoking last year, he was cool as Bogart and tough as John Wayne.
I went to his death bed and toasted him with Jim Beam (his drink of choice). He told me when he was first diagnosed that he wasn't scared, he had lived a good life and everyone would be taken care of
I now have a gold watch that very few people in this world have
He was 69 when he died last year, a great man, a true American Hero

I hope smokes go to $20 a pack. Call them Black Death (which I have smoked), Cancer, Tumor or You're Going to Fucking Die
I'll still light them up

Studies show that you lose 7-10 years from smoking. IT'S THE LAST 10 YEARS!!
Who wants them anyway. Alzheimer, Depends, broken hips, nah I'll pass on those years

What's the law now, you can only smoke every other Tuesday in your house under a blanket??!!

So take your anti smoking sentiments, polish them up real nice, turn them sideways and stick them straight up your candy ass

Fucking Wussies
