Obviously the only true way to stop teens from getting cigarettes is to make it illegal. Nobody breaks the law, y'know?

Seriously though, WTF. Cloves? s**t's disgusting. Who the hell would smoke CLOVE-FLAVORED cigarettes?
Dude ciggarettes with cloves instead of tobacco are the ******** s**t, I looooove them.
You people are ******** weird. I'm gonna go eat some vegemite.

There are less painful ways to kill yourself, you know.

Vegemite is an emo thing. It's less socially repugnant than cutting, and it hurts for longer.

The secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow;


Obama is not only reading my fellow writer Eduardo Galeano, he´s copying our ridiculous smoking-ban laws too.

Yes, I live in Uruguay, and it´s been two months since a law was created to make blues, lights, clovers and cigarette varieties other than standard, to disappear from the uruguayan market. And two years since we can´t smoke in any closed-up place, pubs and bars included.

As a response to this, cigarette brands just created another brand for their "light", "menthol" and "clover" cigarettes, keeping their old packages´ design and colour. So, smokers still are free to choose. And no light labels. All very legal, clover, light, and whatever its inside the box. All of them standards.

I´m a Marketing Analyst, so I know we are always ahead of the (idiotic) law, so if your favourite brand does the same they did here, you won´t lose your lights or clovers.

there is no humor in Heaven. Mark Twain
So what you're saying is that the law will have an effect for a month or so while they rev up production and draw out a new brand, and then we'll be right back where we were before?


Exactly.

They will do the same in the US.

I don't have to worry much about "high prices" when I choose to smoke, because I smoke cigars. Albeit, I smoke very rarely.

Hell, I only had to pay $5 for a cigar that was made in 1876!

You have no idea what kind of a ******** it is, to sit there, smoking something you know is older than your oldest living relative, and a few of your NON living relatives!

The whole time, I was like:

*puff*

There weren't any cars...

*puff*

No toilets...

*puff*

No electricity, to speak of...

*puff*

My great grandparents hadn't even been born yet...

Nope, still alive and well!

And I've never heard of fungi growing in cigars.

If properly stored, cigars can keep for centuries!

In fact, the place I got it at, is an OOOOOOOOLD cigar shop, that originally opened in the 1800s, and then closed down, became something else, and the guy who just bought the place, worked to restore it to it's original glory, even finding cigars just like the one I bought, that were still in perfect condition! THEY EVEN HAD CUBANS FROM BEFORE THE EMBARGO!

Alas, those did not last long...and they sold for $20 EACH!

They're just supposedly the best in the world. Apparently, if Cubans can do one thing right, it's roll a 'gar.

Although I can't tell any difference between cheap truck stop cigars, and the expensive ones.

Although at that same shop, a buddy of mine bought a cigar that had been soaked in wine. I'm sure there'd be a noticeable difference there, but with unflavoreds, I can't tell. That 1876 thing tasted just like a black and mild, to me.
