I think it's $1.50 more?

The cheapest cigarette is passive smoking.

I smoked my last cigarette on 14 Dec 2004 at 14:30 hours. Took two drags and stubbed it out and crumpled half a pack of Marlboro Lights. Have never had one since.

On a lighter note, this cigarette scene from the Simpsons is just classic. The sarcastic comment about enjoying the flavor… gets me every time.

Just about as fascinating as your choice of noise in the favorite music thread. I'm not sure what it is but it ain't music. My choice is a much better choice as it's better for your health. Your choice is a handy alternative to waterboarding if no water is available and has no place in that thread. What to do?

You're saying Iris Dement is a bad singer? She's great, from your neck of the woods in fact.
My point is, you like to contribute parts of your life story to every other thread, and I don't think anyone gives a shit! I gave up smoking too, from hardcore addict of 1-2 packs a day for a decade to zero overnight, but that's between me and myself.

Because it's such fun winding up people who take themselves too seriously.

You really seem to have a military level of discipline.
