Teens & Cigarettes
 

Was surprised to read some of the statistics that were stated in this recent article.
Researchers find teens Ont. and Que. buying more black market cigarettes | Sympatico.ca Health & Fitness

I saw this the other day on the news, it's pretty crazy. How many people on here smoke?

I used to and still smoke natives.
Back in highschool when rollies [zip bags] were 10$ I used to buy em and sell em to other kids haha, was makin enough money to pay my brother for gas, for my smokes and his smokes. Hahaha, now just buy decent quality smokes for 25$ called "BB" which actually are not bad.

rez smokes are pure junk...so nasty ugh! if I'm gonna kill myself, I'm gonna do it with a quality product!

the best is when cheap asses try and put their rez smokes in a namebrand pack so they dont look like cheap asses

besides having the occasionally cig when im high... i dont smoke. I've never liked it, dont like the small and just prefer to spend my money elsewhere

.... grew up with a family full of smokes and most of my friends smoke, surprised i never ended up smoking cigs myself

true. when i can't afford belmonts, it's time to quit smoking

^^ I hate belmonts. You guys hate on natives but you probably just tried the disgusting rollies. There are some more expensive ones that are quite good.
But to each their own.

Stupid me...started smoking when i turned 19...Shame!

If it had been against the law to posses smokes when i was a teenager I doubt i ever would have started smoking. That would have saved me the supreme hassle of quiting, years back.

what the hell is an illegal cigarette?

god this is why weed is so much better :P

native smokes are just the tobacco the main brands don't use. the natives don't farm it and grind the tobacco themselves.

it's stupid to tax cigarettes a lot cause of health concerns, but cheddar cheese and bacon get off easy.

smoking is stupid. that being said, i enjoyed them time and time again. quit short term a few times, and then always went back to a almost a pack a day.

i've been smoke free for about 10 months now maybe?

Nothing wrong with a society that smokes. It's just a vice. I'd say there are more important things to look at such as violent crime and the glamorization of organized crime and violence in media.

I think the law of possession a great political stunt. Yes I am for the idea. But it will just be like weed & alcohol, the courts will become overwhelmed and be tossing them out.

I was listening to a radio show on smoke tax, some guys was complaining about paying taxes on them for years, and felt targeted because non smokers were benifiting from his purchases... I applaude that twisted way of looking at it.

Non-Smoker, ftw.

Im surprised you thibk to yourself that you dont smoke when you just admitted that you do when you get high.

An occasional smoker is still a smoker.

I started smoking when i was 9 years old....i quit when i turned 21 and started again last year...i was smoking 'occasionally'. I just quit again 3 weeks ago and I hope i never ever start back up again. Id rather keep the added weight from quitting than suck on that disgusting habbit again.

And to the people who think you can't quit...you can...i've now done it twice, cold turkey.

you can do it!!!

Quiting smoking is easy, I've done it millions of times.
I think a lot of smokers hate on native smokes because they have their mind set on just the belmonts or whatever other brand they smoke. To me, smoke is a smoke. Ofcourse natives do have some disgustingly tasting cigarettes, but accords or peter Jackson aren't all that amazing either. Imo belmonts aren't all that good either, its just the society norm and people just don't want to accept that other brands [including natives] can and are better than others.
Also, when people say they need their nicotine, that's very untrue, they need the routine, not the nicotine. So if you wanna quit, do something else like eat a chocolate bar.

correct me if im wrong but how can you quit something more then once? like thats not really quitting if you keep going back to it? and as for me i have never had a smoke, not even an unlit one in my mouth.

Well 3rdgen3 said he quit couple of times and I was trying to make a joke

smoking is cool, let them smoke.

Joke all you want....from 21-24 I did not have 1 cigarette. Just over 3 years and no smokes...however I was going through a bad break up with this girl and when i smoked, it always helped calm me down...so i started having the odd smoke which lead to a pack a day....

I've quit for the 2nd time now...and I havent cheated at all. So what Im saying is...it can be done.

i smoke weed
