You know what really pisses me off? The government keeps taxing
cigarettes...It is driving me nuts. I have my mom pick them up out of
state, cause thats the only way I can afford them. Marlboros are 6.25 a
pack! I smoke chick cigarettes (Eve light menthol 120´s) and even those
are still over five bucks a pack! And now, there is going to be a new law
in effect starting next year in my state so that all cigarettes sold here
have to have special self extinguishing filters, how freaking gay is that!
I have a feeling they are just going to cost more. I mean, Jesus H.
Christ, the government can´t function without the money they get form
cigarette sales, but at this rate, everyone is going to ahve to quit becaus
ethey will ahve to choose between smoking and paying bills.
ARRRRRRRRGH!!!! OK, I just had to bitch, I am so pissed, I need a smoke
(lol)...

hmm, cigarettes, one time i was walking across the street at the same time
as this guy and he must smoke as much as bettie cus i could smell it from
three feet away so i tried not to breathe until i got away from him.
i got a job at Petro Canada, which is a canadian gas station, of course
they sell cigarettes, so i sell about 70-100 packs of cigs in an eight hour
shift. and LOTS of lotto.
personally i hate cigarettes, they are usually between 7 and 9 dollars a
pack.. canadian dollars of course >_> personally i figured up to 10 dollars
was a fair price for a pack but i guess considering how fast people go
through them it can get expensive. but hey thats what you get for smoking
eh, expensive luxury habit thing. not my problem, i think i would die if i
even attempted to smoke an ultra lite cig with ten filters on it.
Put them in your hair and run the streets at night with a drum.

You could always make little seasonal buttons, and add some of the little
eyes on them...like reindeers, pumpkins, frogs (beer season?), etc.

Make toys for 100 children (at about four pipe cleaners per child, give
them only to the deserving child)

Thanks for the info. Mine is metal and has a moving part, so I guess I
better find a really thin pipe cleaner. I can try and pick some up at the
craft store. I don't smoke a ton though, like I said, so I'll figure out
something to do with the left over pipe cleaners. Now what to do with 399
pipe cleaners?

I tend to run water through mine, seems to do the trick. I imagine damp
pipe cleaners would probably be a more correct method, but mine was cheap
and is made of plastic so will nver rust. and has no moving parts
just make sure to dry it out before using it. dont wanna choke now.

I smoke Djarum Bali Hai cloves. Those are the best for me. You really
have to try different kinds. Some people like Djarum Blacks and there a
number of other harsh brands of them. I only smoke one once in a great
while because they make you very light headed if you don't smoke them all
of the time and they can make you feel rather sick after a while if you're
a newbie to them like I am or if you're not a regular smoker of anything
else. I do own a nice ltitle black cigarette holder, I love how much
smoother it makes the cloves. Does anyone know how to clean out my cig
holder?

If I smoked, I would smoke cloves. I have at times become obsessed with the
idea of smoking just so that I could smoke them, as I love how they smell.
However, for various reasons, I've decided that since I can resist the urge
to do so and it keeps me in better health not to get started with smoking
them, then I just won't smoke. It does actually pain me not to smoke them.
Also, if you live anywhere near a smoke shop or cigar store, then you have
easy access to a supply of clove brands for sale. You will want to ask for
kretek cigarettes or for a specific brand as the clerk may not recognize
you simply asking for clove cigarettes. However, if you familiarize
yourself with the brands, then you can shop around at your leisure.
Please accessorize your clove cigarette smoking with a beautiful silver
asktray inlaid with black onyx and/or little silver skulls for decoration
(or something similarly lovely), and an antique cigarette holder (also, in
black with silver if possible). I sound almost like clove cigarettes should
be worshipped with your mouth rather than smoked. Oh well, I am being
serious with my comments.

Here we go, a glaring gap in my smoking knowledge, usually impeccable, and
also an horrific breach of the Goth Commandments:
Smoking cloves? Can you buy them in packs or do you just grind up the
little guys I use for cooking, roll them in papers and spark up? Or is
'smoking cloves' a euphamism for some deeper, darker smokable that either I
am unaware of or just haven't heard called that? (Im guessing the second,
in case anyone cares).
I have never seen anyone smoking cloves, nor seen them in shops, nor smoked
them myself (unfortunately...usually if it combusts to release mind
altering substances I've smoked it). All info would be appreciated and put
to good use.

Chaw? Meaning chewing tobacco or "dip" as they called it where I was in
Florida? Sometimes I heard it reffered to as "chewin' tobaccy"... how
southern. Alot of people also reffer to the brand they chew. The nastiest
thing about that is the spit cups the chewers carry with them. Little cups
with paper towels folded in them to absorb the spit. When I was a little
girl I almost drank the spit from my brother's spit cup. Ewwww

the whole thing that really bugs me is the fact that they don't tax the
fuck out of other forms fo tobacco... like hte cigars they smoke... or
chaw... JUST cigarrets...

I'll have to test out your idea for myself Feral. Perhaps I can save
myself a few that way. I threw out almost a whole one last night because
of it. The only problem is storing the already lit one. It can totally
stink up your box and make the rest taste bad if you put it back in. Any
ideas?

i thought it was funny to look at the beginning of this forum and see
prices back down at 6.50 and people complaining. smokes are $8 a pack
where i'm living. there’s like 2 people who buy them and every one else
bums one from them. oh the irony.

*snnff snnff* aww, I feel so warm and fuzzy inside now, I can hardly stand
it!
...and I'm blushing horribly - thanx for the praise! I had a crappy day
today, and I needed it!
I think it comes from always being a watcher on the sidelines. You learn
to pay attention to what others are doing and saying. And eventually you
start to see the patterns to human interaction. My overly-analytical
personality helps, too. Of course, all this side-line watching doesn't
leave me very equipped to actually gain any social experience of my own.
I've had to work on that. But it's nice to know that never being able to
fit in has done me some good in the end.
And I just couldn't stand to see two people I like fighting. Especially
when you weren't really mad at each other, but rather with what you THOUGHT
the other was trying to communicate. That, and I'm a nosy interfering
do-gooder!
I'd like to get into professional counseling, but I don't have the time or
energy for college right now. Maybe later, when the kindergoth is older.
