Favourite "Posh" Cigarettes

[ElectroNymph]

I tried these the other day, and was blown away by the design, stylishness and black! Love me some black - you know what I mean... I did used to have 'a thing' for sexy young black guys though. Probably still do.

One of my exes dad used to smoke these. Black cigarettes do look pretty cool, I used to smoke vanilla cigarettes that were black, 2 different types, very nice!

All these designs are goingg to be gone march 2017. Uk government are bringing in plan packaging. Don't know how this will stop people from smoking or discourage people from trying smoking for the first time. Apparently the minimum  quantitys you can buy are going to be 20 pack of straights and 30g of rolling backie. 

Any other countrys governmentss choosing to do the same thing?

Haven't heard of anything like that in norway, but it wouldn't surprise me, though it feels like it ought to. I really resent this war being waged on us smokers.

I have this trick btw when it comes to those warning labels on cigarette packs.

There's one that says something like: "Smoking can seriously hurt your baby.". If you take something like a key and very carefully (so that it doesn't look like it's been tampered with) scratch away the top of the "r" in "your" till it looks like a comma, it reads instead: "Smoking can seriously hurt you, baby"

I agree @Jellopanda  if it so bad why don't they just stop selling it all. Instead of bumping the prices every year and telling us the nhs spends X millions a year on smoking related problems.  It wouldn't surprise me if the ecigs turn out to be just as bad a few decades down the line.  You got advertisements during the day for ecigs when the kids are watching tv. NOrmally there is a time anything like smoking or drinking can only be shown after a certain time for example 21:00hour

It's the nanny-state thinking they know best what people should and shouldn't do. The left in norwegian politics are particularly keen on restricting peoples freedoms and putting it into law. I'm quite far to the left myself, but i also have this libertarian streak that says that if i wanna damage my health it's my own goddamn business!

Edit: I don't get angry about many things, but this is one of them. Changing my mood to angry right now.

I would probably smoke less if I could buy a pack of j's, instead of a pack or pouch of tobacco.  If it's nice quality mary I don't smoke tobacco really just enough to fill a j, so you ain't having to pack loads in, or you could use a pipe. But they can be annoying to carry around. If at home a bong will do.  Would like to get a thcee ecig so I don't need to touch tobacco and they don't stink from what i've read.

I think they do this in Australia @Conceited, plain grey packaging etc. Apparantly statistics showed a reduction in cigarette use. Though, we know what they say about statistics........

Haha Yeah the people with control can rig the numbers or write what they like even  if it ain't true.

I would think it will be hard to find your smoke if its on a table with other packs of smoke that look the same, when at a pub.

They really want us to stop! I don't know if the NHS savings will make up for the lack of taxes.

One of the few things I like where I stay is that you can smoke everywhere. Not only at pubs and bars but also in the clinic and to all restaurants. As Sigmund Freud said a century ago  " There is no more suffering I know in my life greater than that of no smoking at all ".

Nice quote.

When I was younger and wanted to be cool, I smoked Nat Shermans.  I thought the packaging was cool and no one

else I knew smoked them.  Now I am a Marlboro Reds Guy.  Yep, the dreaded "Cowboy Killers".  I have tried a variety of smokes

but they all lack the punch of a good Red.

We are having our free speech made schtumn.  Our packets blank, no colours or brand features - only horrific images and bland packaging. Cos yeah if I smoke, the world will be all rosy and perfect - patronizing idiots - we pay for our healthcare!!

 

[aintnouse]

@ElectroNymph   We are going in the opposite direction as the rest of the world.  During the 80's all we heard about was the blandness and sameness of the Eastern Bloc countries and the Soviet Union.  Now we are following in their footsteps!!!

I'm going to be the second person to say for me Lucky Strike. They're my payday cigarette. Over a tenner where I live yet dirt cheap abroad. Anytime I'm out the country I fill every available space with them (keep it clean) can't mind the limit but let's say I'm a couple of thousand over! 

 

[AngryBird]

I'm a menthol person, usually smoking Newport's. My "posh" smoke is clove cigs. I love the way they smell, but they cost twice what my usuals do...less than $5 a pack.

Saw my first pack of  backie with this new packaging  the other dday.  Don't know what this is showing a foot wth unrelated writing in black and white? 

The minimum amounts  available to buy goess up soon. No more 9g of jps lol Going have to get 30g's. 

 It funny how their bringing back packs of 20 again.  No doubt there will be a big increase in price.  Charging the people to harm themselves and others around them.   Crazy.

Probably find out the ecigs are just a bad one day.
