Is smoking the kind of thing you have to do with refined style (Silk Cut) or will Benson and Hedges do you?

[Petershaw1984]

Benson and hedges gold.

An elite ciggie

[Redway]

I forgot to include Silk Cut in the poll but yeah. I did used to smoke a bit of that back when I actually smoked tobacco regularly.

these were the fags of choice as a kid

B. & H. is very high-tar but it’s okay. So long as you’re capable of smoking in moderation, which is what you want if you want to relatively preserve your health and lung capacity anyway. The problem is most people get hooked (with nicotine being more addictive than heroin).

when i was a smoker, i started on embassy gold that were 20p for 20

I moved on to lambert and butler, Marlboro and Winston, with the occasional gitanes, and finished with silk cut

I've cut right down, but i have around 5 Amber Leaf roll ups a day. I really can't stand manufactured fags. Just 1 gives me a headache.

I put lettuce in my baccy pouch to keep it moist. A 50g pouch lasts me 3 weeks or so.

Mayfair and Sovereign were what we had as kids, and to skin up.

[Cherie]

I used to smoke Silk Cut and Carrolls (Irish brand) back in the day

Not smoked for years, and it makes me feel ill to think of inhaling smoke into my lungs

[bitontheslide]

ex smokers are the worst, i can now smell a cigarette at 100 metres

Embassy number 1 was a very good smoke tbh

Remember the twin box of 10?

Bupropion and nortriptyline are two antidepressants that help to moderate the urge to smoke but they’re unlikely to be prescribed just for that (and bupropion’s hard to get in the U.K./under the NHS).

I smoked Embassy Number 1

[MTVN]

I used to smoke Camels and was always excited to go abroad because you could get the original yellow ones, for some reason UK shops only seem to do Camel Blue/Light

I often smoked Lucky Strikes at uni as well. Would sometimes get their click and roll ones before they became illegal. Also liked Marlboro Touch as they were cheaper and I often didn't want a full cigarette anyway

Haven't smoked now for over a year though. Never was a prolific smoker, would just have a pack every week or two

[LeatherTrumpet]

10 Kensitus Club was 28p at the Spar when i started smoking. 2p for matches

[Swan]

Embassy really was the best actual fag for sure.
