I'm going to start smoking dedicatedly when I'm there. The packs of ten are rather cute, and I find the blunt, gruesome warnings printed on them rather amusing.

Toilet & Bowels 08.04.2006 09:04 PM

i think smokers need to see people less dedicated that themselves commit to the habit so as too feel less bad about slowly poisoning themselves.

go for it truncated!

Aren't they black block printing on white backgrounds, with messages like "SMOKING KILLS YOUR UNBORN FETUS" or something equally blunt?

Those, and the various "anti" commercials (the ones advising against using mobiles while driving, dangers of drunk driving, etc., where an innocent advert turns into someone's skull getting smashed on the back windshield) are fabulous.

I miss it over there.

Toilet & Bowels 08.04.2006 09:28 PM

the pack i have infront of me says "Smoking causes aging of the skin" on the back and "Smoking kills" on the front, apparently they are going to start putting photos of diseased lungs and whatnot on packets soon.

plus, i'm in favour of those adverts too, although i suspect for less blood thirsty reasons.

Get the brazilians packets.They have horrid rats dying of poisoning.Way more fun to have while you die slowly.

Nice !! I like how this cig thread got a sidetrack as well !! :D

The bud i pictured is actually very good. No purchase was required and the 'added ruffage' (not so manicured) look is intentional. A bit of protection if you will....plus the inner leaves really do have alot of THC..so no need to toss...right ?.....besides..the price is right.

Ha...here's a similar pic I took about a year and a half ago....this bud pictured was grown in Austin, Texas....about as high as you go there.....same exact clonage as my previously pictured bud....but a different hand.....this stuff isn't guesswork...it's highly controlled...perpetuated for many generations without loss of quality.....it's called GrapeApe....;)

More like the shop in the airport.

All they have on the planes to the UK is Toblerone. Obscene quantities of it, in fact.

Cantankerous 08.05.2006 08:45 AM

good to know.


i'm going to go insane not smoking on the plane. which is where the drugs come in.

truncated 08.05.2006 08:54 AM

That's the least of your worries.

I'm more concerned about screaming babies, chatty seatmates, and 8 hours of said seatmate watching Everybody Loves Raymond or Father Ted. It is almost always one of those two, and it is a law of nature that whoever sits next to you insists upon watching them, and guffawing into your ear.

Toilet & Bowels 08.05.2006 09:00 AM

i only ever get to sit next to single aged men aged between 40 and 60 on aeroplanes. i'm sure that when they give out seats they conspire to keep all the single men away from any hot chicks.

the best thing to do is stay up all night before you fly and then taking a sleeping pill when you get on the plane. and get one of those neck cushions that make you look like a twat, because they make things so much less uncomfortable.

Cantankerous 08.05.2006 09:07 AM

i have enough experience flying to know how to handle it. you get completely smashed before going to the airport, and proceed to do so even further on the plane.

Everyneurotic 08.05.2006 10:22 AM

i usually smoke between 3 and 5 cigs a day, when i go out and stuff the quantity does multiply.

my preferred brand is lucky strikes but i usually go with regular camels (all of which cost, along with malbs, $2 dollars aprox), or whatever people have (yeah, i normally leach tabbacs). but lately it has been unfiltered faros (pack of 20 for $1 dollar aprox!) and because of that and because i was going to get a cold while i was smoking those my throat was getting fucked up so i've been quitting smoking for a while.

Neongod 08.05.2006 10:33 AM

I smoke 3/4 of a pack of Marlboro Ultra Lights a day. This warrants an explanation as they are constantly compared with sucking air. When I drink, I tend to smoke more (as do most smokers). When I used to smoke regular lights, I'd wake up the next day with a sore throat. Not the case with these. And since I buy by the carton, I just stick to the Ultras. I went from Reds (regular Marlboros) to Mediums to Lights to Ultras and it's always been same the amount per day. Now if I could just quit...
