Whats better for you?

[Kapitan]

I know smoking is just bad for you but im having an argument about wether a standard in the box cigarette is better for you than your hand made roll up.

which is better for you health wise (i know niether is)?

[Iceman]

It's whats in the tobacco not wether it is machine rolled or hand rolled...all natural is better,stronger but better...it is how I quit cold turkey years ago...I weaned my self unknowingly off the chemiclas in Marlboros...so when I finally got tired of stinking and smelling like an ashtray my body was already weaned off the chemiclas and only craved the tobacco...for about 2 days then the crave subsided greatly...smoke free now.

I speak from experience managing a cigar and tobacco shop here.

[d@rk51d3]

I've never even tried a smoke of any kind, or hang around smokers. But when I catch a beath of a nice bit of pipe tobacco, or even a good cigar, I get MAJOR cravings......

I can't figure that out.

[kiwi_2005]

Yeah neither are. But if you had to choose then roll your own tobbacco.

Another Poll I can't vote in! :cry: Woe is me!

Smoking is for people with complete disregard for themselves or others. I know this may get me dodgy relationships with some people here, but its how I feel.

I don't smoke. I abhore smokeing in fact.
However I strongly disagree that is shows "complete disregard".

The language you use is far too extreeme.

I enjoy cigars a lot but have never smoked cigarettes. I'd imagine the factory-made ones probably have a lot more nasty chemicals than the home-made variety.

[bookworm_020]

It is known that cigarette companies do put cemicals in to increase the addiction to cigs, but roll your own's seem to be stronger in tobacco.

I've never smoked so This is just my opion, I strongly encourage people who do to give up. I've watch one gandmother chough up her lungs due to her smoking, and my mother in laws health improve after giving up.

OT Is it possible to stand up wind of a smoker?? Despite my best sffots I have never succeeded!

I'm anti-smoking also...growing up in a home where both parents are docs, well, you see pics that you didn't want to know about.

As a former smoker, I prefer the pre-rolled ones in a box for convenience sake. However, if I had the time to make my own smokes, with filters, I would make them myself . . . but since when I smoked, I usually lacked the time . . .

As for smoking in general . . . I don't understand how smoking has become such a non-pc activity. People harp on smokers worse then they do on criminals, and those who end lives. However that is not to say that there are no health risk concerning those who smoke. As far as I am concerned, as long as one doesn't force someone to be around them when they do smoke, then they should be able to light up anywhere where there is good ventillation.

Depending on where you live, a pack of rolling papers can get you into a heap of trouble ... :yep:

I guess they invented the fabric packages

What you had time to smoke, but not time to roll them.:)

[STEED]

As a former smoker stopped over seven years ago I can not help as I smoked cigars, I miss them but I know the harm they do.

[SUBMAN1]

Yep - I used cigars to break the cig habit 10 years ago. I still can't beleive I smoked back then (friends smoked, so thats what got me hooked i guess), but yeah, I think nasty chemicals are purposely put in the normal cigs to make you more addicted. The cigars made it easy to quit however - you get a massive nasty dose of nicotine in one big cigar that makes you not want nicotine till the following evening. After a couple weeks, you no longer want the cig. I think I went through some withdrawls though - kind of cranky and such. In the end, I couldn't keep smoking $10 cigars since they were making me go broke and overwhelming me with nicotine, so I dropped that too. Worked like a charm!

I still smoke a cigar on occasion - about once every 6 months, but I have no craving for cigars or cigs anymore.

Today marks 30 days since i had my last cigarette.

[bradclark1]

I have one cigarette left in my pack, then I'm done. Hopefully!!:lol:

You are past the 3 week mark. You're fine now. The 3rd week is the hardest.

If you ever get weak, go for a cigar instead. Never ever touch a cig again.

Candy in those assorted bags ... provides a different way to treat the taste buds with new delights.

Mints, butterscotch, fruit drops, chocolate in many different forms ... worry about the calories later ...

Get that system flushed too with water ... you can do it. :up:

Go for it ... :yep:

[Jimbuna]

I confess to being a smoker (roll my own) but also to being a bloody hypocrite for helping the Government enforce the ban.
Each to there own if I had my way....as long as there were designated smoking areas with physical extraction and sufficient warning notices.

[Sailor Steve]

Never been a smoker.

[kiwi_2005]

I haven't touched a ciggarette for nearly 7wks now & thats 23yrs of smoking roll your own. What got me to stop wasn't the nastty cancer adds they show in commercials, didn't do a thing for me cause you think it wont happen to you its happening to someone else, they been showing commercials as such for around 10yrs while i happily puffed away. What even sucked me in was two persons close to me died of cancer one lung cancer the other stomach and they never smoked. Of course your find all excuses to why its okay to smoke and slowly kill yourself.

What made me give up was the price hike every couple of yrs. A 50gram of tobbacco went up to $30. When i went in to get my weekly tobbacco and the teller said that will be $31.50 sir. WHAT! WTF nazi govenment how can they justify in me having to pay $30 nothing but Scammers! :rotfl: Well there plan worked. I gave up.:sunny:

If your a smoker tho, Roll your own is safer, (give it up is a better option!) i would have the odd tailormade now and then and feel sick, after one. plus if you put a tailormade down it will burn down to nothing. You put a roll your own down it wont it just goes out. Tailormades have more chemical crap in them thats why they burn out.

Warning: The aftereffects of giving up. I was practically climbing the walls i did it cold turkey, for the first 5-6 days everything was a problem or a disaster waiting to happen it was like anything trivial was a mjor problem :lol: Yeah i laugh about it now but back then it wasn't funny. Family members well my sons stuck by me even tho i just needed to look at them and would find a problem, and everytime i went to grab my coffee my right hand felt lost and lonely. 23 yrs it use to hold a ciggerette, i forgotten what other uses my right hand was for. After a week of mindless hell the urge to have a smoke was gone.

Give it up. Bann smoking from the planet. :yep:
