Anybody smoke the stuff on here?

I've got a mate who's selling some fags £85 for 10 minutes

Cheers

I can get it in a shop for a quid cheaper than that.

Which shop?

Anyone got the number for the inland revenue?

I used to smoke that stuff when I was about 16 and poor.

It's rough as arseholes.

Given that the practice is illegal and I like getting my cheap baccy I will not be revealing my sources.

haha, fair enough! Worth an ask i suppose

There was a corner shop in town and when you went to buy fags he used to ask if you wanted more, because he had some boxes of 200 for cheap. He used to pull out boxes of 200 for £25 or something. It was ace. He didn't always have them mind, but it was still a nice surprise.

Golden Virginia is the equivalent of eating a Lidl chicken kiev when what you really want is a decent sirloin steak.

On a side note - four and a half years and I still miss smoking.

Tell me where though you cunt, I was going to get you some from Turkey ;)

drug pusher :girlgiggle:, 8 months ive quit for now, god i miss them

But you fucking didn't you Leon.

You replied to my PM whilst I was in Turkey, small issue. TELL ME.

My brother brought me back 10packets of golden virginia from Turkey last week, paid around £ 5 English money per packet from a tobacconists shop. Trouble is it definitely ain't golden Virginia ! Looks like the real McCoy in proper labeled  sealed packets but smells and smokes much stronger once opened. I gave a couple of mates a pkt to try and they both agree about not being the real thing. Since I've asked around it seems like a common thing this year with tobacco from turkey. Dont know what it is but Will sell it on to people I don't like !

I'm a bit of a smug non-smoker, because I miss it very rarely, mainly when very drunk. I gave up sometime in June last year, thanks to Mr Carr. :)

I gave up 5 years ago...


and started again about 6 months ago.

Quit 7 months ago and im ok, only when i've had a beer it doesn't quite feel right not having a ciggy with it.

Read Allen Carr's book. Until I read that all my previous attempts at being a "non-smoker" failed. This time it's different, I don't miss it, I don't like it and smoking as a habit including the whole industry, annoys me. *smug*

My old man restarted again after 10 years of not smoking and after a few months, strangely, seemed to realise he preferred not smoking and simply went cold turkey again.

Best thing in that book is the chapter titled something like 'Concise List of the Good Things about Smoking'.  Below the title, there was a blank page.

Was that from my recommendation?

Mr Carr helped me several years ago.

It could well have been, thanks if it was. I know it was recommended and I'd owned it for about 6 months, while "trying" to give up, but having never opened it because I was doing fine.

One day it dawned upon me that the odd cheeky fag at lunch or a few at the weekend meant I was lying to myself about having quit. I then bought some fags, read the book, while smoking normally, and made a real effort to do as he says and absorb every word. A few days later and before it was finished I'd stopped.

I used patches last time, worked a treat.
When I want to give up again, i'll just use them again.

Yeah i gave up in april and went cold turkey.

Piece of piss

I gave up 5 years ago, but am still addicted to the nicorette !

I keep giving up, fine in the day, but it's bloody hard not to smoke when out and on the piss.

Does it work when your pissed aswell?

Yeah, it's easy. The only time's when drunk, that I get tempted, are when I'm on my own and hammered, like when I've just arrived home or something, but when in a pub it's fine and even when out having a fag with my mates it's easy.

I simply don't require it now and can often be a bit preachy when drunk! (Not because I no longer like smokers or being around them, but I sort of feel my friends need to understand the advertising brainwash that's caused them to believe many incorrect positives about fags.)

The book isn't about "giving up*" it's about understanding how you've been taught to think a certain way about cigarettes. It's about coming to realise all the lies you've been fed and then freeing yourself from the stranglehold it has on you.

In a way the book made me feel a bit of a mug. It made me feel like the industry was fucking me up the arse, getting rich in the process and I was letting them and paying for it. Giving up was a way of saying fuck you, you aren't getting one over on me anymore.

*He says in the book (and I'm paraphrasing a bit here) you're not giving up anything by not smoking - giving up implies sacrifice. By being a smoker you're giving up life - you're slowly sacrificing yourself. By not smoking you're choosing freedom from cigarettes.

Nice, think i'll give that a bash.

All this self help shit is making me want a fag.

Alan Carr`s has helped me to stop for over a year now. I previously tried patches, cold turkey. Unfortunately once you are a smoker you will always be one and I could easily start again any minute. I hate people who can just smoke at weekends or occasionally...how can they do that? all or nothing me...

I see you had a cheeky fag on your 100th birthday  ;)

Yes that was last year, dieing for one now... :D
