Shit of a habit, we can pretend otherwise as much as you wish.;D
Used to smoke cherry Cavendish pipe tobacco out of a Sherlock holmes type of pipe. Havlock seems to ring a bell.
Straight pipes unless held low and loose are a load of cods wallop and prevent the Russian draw back.
I used to smoke Marlboro Red cigarettes , and Cuban or Dominican cigars arfter a meal.
Now i dont smoke at all.
I don't smoke at all these days, I used to dabble a bit with malboro's, but nothing serious and never any kind of serious addiction. I find it rather pointless. If it isn't going to derange the senses then I don't see the point. Idle self destruction is pointless. You might as well have a little fun as you fall into the abyss. And smoking isn't very fun. It is smelly and makes your breath rather foul and makes teeth yellow. As a young man I thought it was a bit cool, but as an older man I find it hideous and ugly. I don't even like talking with people who are smoking as it will inevitably get blown on me and my clothes.
:vd: ...guys, a cigar every so often is a treat.
I don't smoke anymore, but back in the day I used to LOVE Camel Wides when I could get my hands on them. American cigs are by far the best in the world.
I also had some outstanding Cuban smokes that I bought in Mexico.
a good blunt every now and again ain't so bad. but cigarettes are just silly. tho i probs shouldn't talk cuz i got suckered into the chew for a while. freakin tobacco companies are evil i tells ya. grape favored, cherry, apple and peach...ya, they aren't going after 10-14 yr olds or anything.
Copenhagen...pure goodness. I occasionally smoke at the bar but not very often.
given up on the boxing career then?Quote:

Sad really, ive achieved most things I've set my heart to in life, but just can't quit the fags. Tried a variety of things, but always seem to go back to them.
I'm at the point now where I actually want to quit and I feel the effects on my health.
Saddo, you still selling those electric stick things?
haha wat? no. chew won't in any way affect your performance, and a lot of boxers (especially at the higher levels, not sure why) actually do chew. though I admit it is a disgusting habit and has cost me a shit ton in teeth cleaning and whiteners so i don't look like I got hobo mouth.Quote:

but yea, I likes me some Copenhagen too VC. tryin to quit tho.
If I'm extra grumpy these days (which I'm positive I am), I think quitting is playin a small roll in that. Plus this stupid surgery on my hand just cost me my trip to the Pan Am Games. Oh, and the United States Dept of Justice pretty much officially just took nearly all my money I've worked my ass off for. But other then those few things...everything is cool.
Fuck, after writing all that I want a dip real bad.
There's a nice smoke shop where I live and they sell cigars, cigarettes, pipe tobacco, beer, wine, and they allow their customers to smoke in their shop. Nice leather chairs, flat screen tv...its all very nice and relaxing.Quote:

Smoked Richmonds, but getting too bloody expensive, £3.30 for a pack of 10 ! And going through a pack a day.
Bought a packet of baccy last week, Golden Virginia, I enjoy rolling my own, reminds of the days when i used to smoke something stronger :wackomz4: Only paid £6.50 for the baccy and lasted me all week, thats one hell of a saving!
I tried dip it was awful, I played baseball when I tried it...got a hell of a buzz. I think boxers and mma fighters do it to suppress appetite and help aid them in making weight (the spitting helps a little).
I never have gotten addicted to cigarettes but I see how I could have, the gadgets and gizmos from the 20's through the 50's were quite nifty. For example I have one of my Grandfather's cigarette cases that is also a lighter...mighty classy.
Cigars are just right for me, every so often I'll have one and I've finally found some places to smoke them (away from my house). 1 place is a cigar bar, the other a smoke shop that sells tobacco, pipes, and also beer and wine.
I don't own a pipe and have never used one for tobacco, though I may invest in one yet. I've got a hand woven box from Botswana in which I keep pipe tobacco to make my house smell good...it would be nice the next time I bought some if it served its true purpose as well.
quite like a little smell of cigar/pipe smoke, not cigs though.
I've avoided any addiction to Copenhagen. I enjoy it for certain activities but I also go weeks at a time w/o using it. I probably smoke 10 cigarettes a year. Smoking pretty much coincides with the handful of times I go to a bar.
Never have, never will, no matter of how it smells good sometimes (for some produces), I never liked the idea of my lungs/mouth filled with smoke.
You should have heard the guy at the cigar store tell me about their cigars...there is a big similarity between tasting cigars and tasting wine.Quote:

I haven't ever enjoyed one although I've have had plenty, tried with good whiskey, tried with craft beer, tried after good meals. I guess they're just not for me.
Greg mate, it's a disgraceful habit, but seriously you're still not paying as much as they do over here. Try the equivalent of around $10 a pack for the cheapest cigs in the UK, the majority of which goes on the tax to pay for your oxygen tank in 20 years time.Quote:

I packed in at the start of this year and just started smoking again last week while I was on Holiday in Cyprus (it just seemed right to because of the atmosphere)... have been going cold turkey for the last 2 days and finding it supprisingly easy so might start smoking on every holiday ;D;D;D
but to answer the question I have been mostly smoking superking black :rasta:
At least it pays for your oxygen, over here it's SUPPOSED to pay for it, but it doesn't.Quote:

Dude, next time you're in NC let me know I'll take you to a tobacco store and set you up for cheap. I think its what $3-$5 a pack in NC depending on what you smoke and the tobacco stores sell cartons for discount.
I don't do cigarettes, I never have liked them. My Granddad did, but that was the style then. He died of lung cancer at age 37...unfiltered Camels man. And my Great Granddad (my Granddad's father) lived to be 99 and he didn't smoke.
I don't smoke all the time, but every once in a while I'll have a cigar, once every other month or so. I've had 2 this year which is probably more than I had all of 2010.
I tried mint cigarettes they were horrible.
Centenarians may have a great deal of wisdom to share, but this apparently does not include advice on how to live to age 100.
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have found that many very old people — age 95 and older — could be poster children for bad health behavior with their smoking, drinking, poor diet, obesity and lack of exercise.
The very old are, in fact, no more virtuous than the general population when it comes to shunning bad health habits, leaving researchers to conclude that their genes are mostly responsible for their remarkable longevity.
But before you fall off the wagon and start tossing down doughnuts for breakfast just because your Aunt Edna just turned 102, remember that genetics is a game of chance. What didn't kill Aunt Edna still could kill you prematurely, the researchers cautioned.
The chosen few
The study, appearing Aug. 3 in the online edition of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, followed the lives of 477 Ashkenazi Jews between the ages of 95 and 112. They were enrolled in Einstein College's Longevity Genes Project, an ongoing study that seeks to understand why centenarians live as long as they do. About 1 in 4,400 Americans lives to age 100, according to 2010 census data.
A research team led by Nir Barzilai compared these old folks with a group of people representing the general public, captured in a snapshot of health habits collected in the 1970s. The people in this control group were born around the same time as the 95-and-above study group, but they have since died.
The living, old people in the study were remarkably ordinary in their lifestyles, Barzilai said. By and large, they weren't vegetarians, vitamin-pill-poppers or health freaks. Their profiles nearly matched that of the control group in terms of the percentage who were overweight, exercised (or didn't exercise), or smoked. One woman, at age 107, smoked for over 90 years.

Well if that 107 year old woman didn't smoke for over 90 years she may have lived to 140 and become the oldest living person ever. :DQuote:

Imagine saving all the money from 90 years of smoking. That is an absolute truckload of fun right there. Still, each to their own, I'm more down the suggested route of doughnuts for breakfast.Quote:
