I have a few beers and a few cigarettes twice a week. Maybe 4 each time. Goes with the brew. What's your brand of choice Doug?

I didn't know JPS still existed I started on Dunhills, then graduated to Rothmans, then onto Marlboro, had a brief dalliance with Sobranie and Gitanes, before finally becoming a roll yer own person, often with liqourice paper for added zip. Tobacco was either Drum or Old Holborn I was a bit of tobacco tart now I look back on it

When I was in Armenia the local men would smoke a incredibly cheap brand of Russian cigarettes called either Soyuz or Sputnik. They were so badly made that you had to smoke them with your head tilted back a little or the tobacco would fall out. You could always tell the guys who favoured this brand as the ciggie itself burned so erratically their shirts would be peppered with tiny pinhole burns.

Never took up smoking as I can’t stand the taste of fags.I’m sure if I’d liked them I’d be on 40 a day.Have the occasional cigar with a beer but now you can’t smoke inside pubs I rarely do that now.

The real oldies on here may remember that there was a early seventies campaign by the Department of Health to get people to switch to a lower tar brand. Full page adverts with a 'league table' and their nicotine and tar yields were printed in every newspaper.
Best brands would be Silk Cut and Consulate menthol. Down at the bottom of the table was the evilest fags you could get hold of, Capstan Full Strength and Black Cat. Cue school kids over Britain rushing out to their local dodgy newsagent. I managed a Capstan (like inhaling a Triumph Bonneville exhaust) never found Black Cat though.

I used to smoke both roll ups and B&H in my 20's but seeing as I knew a few folk who have succumbed to lung cancer, I've long since given up.
Still know a few smokers but most people vape because it's cheaper.
Like a lot of things in life you figure out that smoking has to be the biggest exercise in futility ever taken as a so called recreation.
Pointless and expensive waste if your life.
