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.

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.

Try Belmont (green), much better than marlboro.

LOL I still look at the scar from "pancake cooking incident" :D
Stuffed peppers are not "golubtsy"!!! Фаршированые перцы. Ukrainian food :)
Didn't we we eat stuffed peppers? Pure "male food", just microwave it and add some sour-cream :) Sour-cream is one of the base things in Russian food :)

I smoked for 42 years. I smoked my last ciggarette April 5, 2007. I gained about 20 lbs or a little less. I love to cook and I love to eat. When I go back to exercising I beleive I will be able to get back down to a svelt 200/205.
I loved smoking and I still miss it. I also miss the rattling when I breathed, the numerous sinus infections, the smelly house and car, and what now looks to me like an absurd concern with when am I going to be able to burn another one.
I never realized how much it controled my life until I quit. I highly reccomendo people do the same but it will always be your choice as far as I am concerned.

I quit smoking on August 15, 2006. I gained about 20 pounds, then I had this wacky, crazy, totally bizarre idea...
"What if I exercised?
Dropped the fat, put on more muscle. Now (I know this will be hard to believe but), I am even secsier then before.
-
HHGttG on First channel now and I keep posting here... It's a drug.
If I lived in so-called "free world" where you pay up to 8 dollars for a 20-pack - I could think of quitting. Not here where I pay $0.75 for a pack.
Back in early-90s I was the one guy in my Uni group who didn't quit. It was a matter of self-respect. I smoked deadly French cigs, "humanitarian aid", black cigar tobacco, like Cuban Ligeros. Galouises Coporal (SP?). If French Army smokes this - I wonder why they didn't conquer us back in 1855.

When I used to smoke and had a touch of bronchitis I'd smoke a joint. Now THAT will open you up some.

Ah, nature's wonder plant.:cool:
BTW, Salem still makes regular size cigarettes.

I never use mind-extenders other then alcohol. Sorry.

Buy a pipe. Pipe tobacco is about $2 an ounce, and unlike cigarettes it actually taste like tobacco.

Suave is right.
Plus the paper in the cigarettes will kill you eventually.
Buy a pipe and any decent pipe tobacco. You'll notice the difference in a week.
14 ounce can of Velvet costs me about 15$ and lasts 5 - 7 weeks. I smoked Cigs for 12 years, but couldn't stand the taste in my mouth when I wake in morning.
Plus Cigs while we say it calms us, doesn't really.
But to sit down, clean, fill, and light a pipe, that does calm, and sooth and relaxes.
