Bev'sSister Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 WHAT BRAND OF CIGARETTE DID YOU OR THE PERSON YOU ARE CARING FOR SMOKE? MY SISTER SMOKED MARLBORO 100'S LIGHTS NON MENTHOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Harry smoked the least expensive brands, depending on where he stopped to get them. I've often wondered if one company did something a little different to their cigarettes too.... like add even MORE nasty chemicals to the tobacco then another company...?

missyk Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Mom's brand of choice when she was still smoking (she quit 20 years before diagnosis) was Kool Menthol's...but more often than not you'd find her with whatever was the cheapest (the "el cheapo floor sweepings" or "generic" cigarettes) in menthol.

pewjumper Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Mom smoked Doral Menthol Lights all her life. On occasion she'd switch to the 100's but then she'd go back. I was a Marlboro man. Full flavored reds in the flip top box. It never changed if I could help it. My step mom smokes Pall Malls, and my younger brother began smoking Marlboro lights when he relapsed recently.

wendyr Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Maurice smoked full flavored Winston for 50 years then switched to cheapo no names 5 years ago. Quit on diagnosis but still sneaks a cigar once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystleshoe Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 My mom smoked Lark's for a while then the cheaper brands and my dad was a Lucky Strike man. My choice was Kool menthol Randy,dont get off the soap box just yet. The fact and figures that you give us are great. I used a list of the additives to help me quit smoking 8 years ago. when i felt I needed a cigarette I read the list and was so disgusted that it curbed the craving.

ursol Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 At age 13 I smoked Salem Menthol's for the first year. Then I smoked Marlboro regular red pack until I was in my early twenties, then switched to Marlboro Light 100's for awhile. Then through my 30's I smoked marlboro ultra light 100's. During my many summer's in Italy I smoked MS regular. Lilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowergirlie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 We smoked Marlboro Lights. I don't think it matters too much personally. I think they are all dirty rotten scoundrels for putting additives in them. I had a love affair with smoking and never wanted to hate them like I do now, but it took my hubby away and that wasn't worth all those years of smoking to me. It is always in hindsight I guess, but then again, would he have been taken by another means? I am off smoking for almost 9 months now. Saves a lot of money for sure and my kids love the fresh new momma but hate that pops is gone. Hugs...Flowergirlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggiegirl62 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Mom originally smoked Viceroy and switched to Vantage partway through her smoking career. I guess Vantage was a lower tar cigarette. (Ovviously that did not make a difference.) She smoked for 33 years, having quit in 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceking Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Interesting topic. My Dad smoked True Menthols like a chimney and had terrible coughing and emphysema symptoms since i was a kid. Ironically died of liver cancer, not lung. My Mom smoked those aweful Eve 120's! The cigarette with the weird flowers around the filter that were SUPER LONG! My Mom stopped cold turkey 8 years ago after chain smoking for 50 years. YAY!!!!! Way to go Mom!!! I totally understand the pull and the addiction, just wish that more people could quit.

Cindy RN Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I guess in high school I smoked Viceroy-40cents a pack!! Then onto Winston 100's then generic 100's then, Marlboro lights 100's. I did quit in 2001 for 2 yrs, then the cancer relapsed and I started again-hiding it!! Now i still smoke BUT only outside and not much. Just can not get in the mood to stop totally again. Maybe one day!! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pewjumper Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 When I quit, I adopted a new policy. I will not buy cigarettes for anyone, with their money or mine. I wanted to make a point that I'd never hand another dollar to the companies that almost took my mom from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillise Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Randy, I lived in Winston-Salem right after college. On an overcast day the entire city smelled like one giant cigarette from the RJR factories. It was awful, but when I made some comment about it to the volunteers for the non-profit I worked at I was told "When you smell that perfume, it means our husbands are working." I haven't thought about that smell in a long time. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missyk Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Susan... That comment reminds me of when people complain about our "Fresh Iowa Air" that, especially in the summer, isn't so fresh and will be told by anyone in listening distance that "It's the smell of money." Doesn't make methane smell any better and the jobs don't make the smell there any better, either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
