Is it true that they don't make ordinary size Salems any more? Only "slims"?

I usually buy menthol cigarettes when I have bronchitis. Now there are no good menthol cigs for me. Bought Marlboro menthol. Pure crap. I usually smoke Russian-made XXI Century from Rostov on Don, but they don't make menthols.

I have been smoke free since Feb 5th 2007 after smoking for nearly half of my life.

But here in the states Marlboro brand is regarded as a Premium cigarette. While Salem brand is not. I smoked Marlboro, and never really ventured into Menthol, but I was always under the impression that Newport was the best Menthol Cigg or most widely bought.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Bloody globalisation and not enough globalisation. Dialectics (tm).

I smoke menthol only when I have breathing problems.

And no Newport here. :( At least I didn't notice it at tobacconists here, will ask. Thanks!

I guess you don't smoke and drink. Good life, no adventures, going to the office from 9 to 5.

No, please.

I started smoking when I was 12. By the time I was 15 or 16 I was smoking a pack a day. By the time I quit, I was smoking nearly two a day. I'm 26 and have been smoke free since February 5th.

Didn't you gain weight?

I seriously envy you. But not your smoking since 12 years old... I started smoking during the "coup" in 1991, it was a funny story, if you can call it "funny"...

The good thing is I have always been thin as a rail.

I was 150 pounds, I now weigh around 170. But I still look the same. Maybe a little bit of an extra beer gut or Ab muscle protector. :)

That, by far, is one of the funniest statements I've ever read. Thanks for the laugh.:)

Boroda,

Unless girl who is living with you cooks, I don't think you should be worried about gaining weight. Refrigerator is always empty. :)


Speaking of empty, I'm craving for those frozen galubt'si we had. Mmm Mmmm good.
