Re: thinking about taking up smoking....best brand??

LOL I have bad habits which are actually hobbies....... and they ALL cost me money. My wife, my fishing stuff, my boats (yep more then one) my ATV, Motorcycle, cars, trucks, Amateur radio, computers, guns (lot's of guns), reloading, photography and yes I smoke Marlboro's. Did the pipe thing but ehhhh and even tried the ecigs. Oh and of course my biggest hobby is explosives and fireworks.

I need to drop a few hobbies but I actually allocate time to all of them!

Oh yeah I hear the new cigarettes in Washington and Colorado are good but just not legal here! :D

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Well speaking of Steve Miller, one of my favorite albums was titled "The Smoker You Drink, The Player you Get". Don't think they meant tobacco.

But to the original question, They've gotten a bit pricey in recent years, but Benson & Hedges are very nice. I'm pretty sure you're not young enough to get in trouble from starting now. Shields up.

Re: thinking about taking up smoking....best brand??

Actually I am hearing that they are looking for folks to cleanup Fukushima Daiichi in Japan if you're serious about starting to smoke.

My neighbor presently is facing maybe a year or less because he had lung cancer and they went in and removed one of his lungs. And he has had more heart attacks then any two people I've ever heard about. He also has had nearly every major artery opened and cleaned out as well. He actually has so many scares from all the operations in the last two to three years it is honestly unbelievable. Of course he smoked for decades and doesn't think his condition is from that... SMH! He is on 24/7 oxygen now and the percentage is getting higher weekly. Not good at all... but to each their own! Did I tell you he is only 60 years old too? :eek:
