They are forecasting 10C lower for tomorrow so there is looking forward to that.
The bedroom is so hot I might go sleep in the flower room with the aircon tonight.

At some level I'd rather have 115 degrees for a day than -2C.
We went camping when I was a kid, it got to 2 degrees that night... I've never been that cold again.

My mom smoked Pall Malls too. Mine never quit and lived to her mid 80's. Died of unrelated causes and never developed COPD. Sorry about the heat. It's roughly -2C here and I'm trying to be stoic about it.

I've never heard of Pall Mall. I thought marlboro was the main brand in the US.

I buy tobacco by the pound at the local Indian Reservation smoke shop and the cigarette tubes for about $1.89 per 200 at Brookshire Bros. I think my monthly smoking habit is about $30 per month going the roll-your-own rout. I think a regular pack of Winston goes for about $7 locally. That comes out to about $210 per month. I'm saving $180 per month whilst slowly killing myself.

Marlboro is the main brand, Pall Mall is an older brand, not as popular nowadays.

You can still buy Camels too. Unfilltered for the macho macho men.

Buddy of mine is trying to quit. Here in Washington...with all the taxes...a pack goes for over $10...

With a good machine and some practice, anyone can roll quality cigs and save 80+%.
I used to buy Kentucky Select 'mint' pipe tobacco and my cigs were better than kools. Pretty sure it was cigarette tobacco labeled as "pipe" to save money on taxes.

It's been almost 6 years since I quit.

Marketing research by Phillip Morris Co. determined that addicts and people in general like a particular shade of red.
That's when Marlboro took off.

Good for you man! I hear it can be rough.

About taxes...the typical maneuver here in southern Washington is to buy high tax items in Oregon. Worth the drive...

I'm approaching 8 months... It really changes things.

I gave my old vape to a friend this weekend and took his smokes and gave it away.

Newport....Kool....Camel..... Winston.....


Mom smoked Winston and Camels, my aunt Rose smoked Capris, my brothers smoked Winston, my grandpa smoked Lucky Strike, I never smoked....ok..ok.. I smoked a little weed.

Marlboro is analogous to Budweiser

Those long skinny ones do look sophisticated.

I've heard of camel and winston. I don't think pall mall ever made it up here. The government is forcing cigarette manufacturers to put gruesome photos of cancerous mouths and people dying on cigarette packs now. I couldn't imagine looking at that all the time.

Good on those of you who have quit or moved to vaping.

Can't forget Chesterfield 101s. A silly millimeter longer...

PS @Laughing Grass ...seriously? Pictures of blackened lungs on smoke packs? Not quite sure how I feel about that...

 

[Singlemalt]

Remember Viceroy's?

That's the tame one. The mouth cancer and guy with a hole in his throat are pretty gross.

Poor Leroy. mmm pass me a smoke.

I wonder if he has to wear a plug to swim.

I do agree though, I wish I never had that first smoke.

While I grew up...my Mom was an advertising professional. We heard her evaluation of every ad. I could even sing the jingles. lol

My mother smoked Virginia ultra slims on and off, but my father smoked Newports from 12-62, until he got lung cancer and quit cold turkey. He beat it.
