Damn, we agree on just about everything now! Most people I know go "Eww...menthol???"

This habit is not good, and it's so expensive Cigs in the U.S. are ridiculously high priced. |
Woo hoo...hmm..I wonder if we were born under the same sign? Anyhow, yeah I don't know why they're so bothered with "menthol" I like it. I agree yet on another point, it's bad to smoke and also expensive, which is I smoke occassionally now. I try to avoid smoking when I get so stressed out 'cause that situation is usually what triggered me to smoke.

holy shit, thats pretty cheap...good thing i dont live in japan. i might turn into a smoke stack especially around those times when college starts getting tough and stressful |
I know I went there for a college semester so that plus cheap cigs = me smoking more. And then they are in vending machines on every corner While I was there, my cigs were 270 or 280 yen, I think. They went up to 300 yen. Still, that's nothing compared to what I pay in the U.S. ;____;

Hey, ya'll's smokers. Please to explain the . . . craving for smoking to us non-smokers. You have a point-of-reference for it, for us? Is it akin to enjoying a cold cup or glass of water after walking through the desert for an hour? What? Explain. Seriously, I'm . . . still trying to understand. Are you craving the smoke? Or is it something else in it (as Michael Mann's The Insider tells us)?

Hmm..maybe the same question can be apply to ask "why do you like chocolate so much?" or "why do you like to drink Beer so much?"..I think there's something that makes you get addicted to that which sometimes is unexplainable.
The insider.? .hmm..at least I don't give a false disclaimer..

LOL, I don't see the same comparison, not exactly. Smoking is just a bad habit that is hard to break. Like, after a meal, or when we wake up in the morning....a craving comes and ya do it. And when we run out....we get bitchy, LOL. Maybe it's like chocolate or beer if you come accustomed to having it at a certain time daily. Like if you had a beer after dinner every single night, then suddenly you look in the fridge after your dinner and see there is no beer in there....more than likely you'll go out and buy more. A habitual routine thing. For me it seems more of the action rather than the nicotine. But I dunno...I never tried the patch. I'm used to actually smoking so I think the patch wouldn't be as helpful...who knows..

Actually, Delaware is supposed to be the place to go for us up here. Could you imagine all the gas money I'd spend going to Virginia? Drive 2-3 hours for cigs, LOL. Delaware takes 30-40 minutes and has deals on certain brands alternating each month. They switch from Newport and etc. for 1 month, then back to Marlboro and the like for the next month.

As a matter of fact, there was this case in va here that these al-quaida suspects was doing the same thing in raising funds before they were caught. (sorry for the side-track) _________________
