I smoke off and on although I haven't smoked for the past few months. I always smoke ultra-lights becasue the others are too strong for me. The idea that subconciously the holes are plugged to "get more of a hit" is a bit of a stretch. Smoking more to compensate I can buy, but this guys theory about plugging the holes is BS. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen to some degree just by holding the cigarette or whatever, but you get my drift.

Feel free to consider it BS, but I think researchers discovered the covering-the-holes thing by observing how real people smoke actual cigarettes, when they were trying to figure out why people who smoke low tar / low nicotine cigarettes have the same incidence of smoking-related diseases as people who smoke regular cigarettes.Something else to think about: WebMD, Light Cigarettes Harder to Quit: Light-Cigarette Smokers 50% Less Likely to Quit Smoking(This reaffirms the result of a study from about five years ago.)In reply to:Smoking low-tar and low-nicotine -- or "light" -- cigarettes may actually make it harder for smokers to kick the habit.A new study shows that people who smoke light cigarettes are more than 50% less likely to quit smokingquit smoking than those who smoke regular cigarettes."Even though smokers may hope to reduce their health risks by smoking lights, the results suggest they are doing just the opposite because they are significantly reducing their chances of quitting. Moreover, as they get older their chances of quitting become more and more diminished," says researcher Hilary D. Tindle, MD, MPH, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, in a news release. Tindle conducted the research while at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

Perhaps, but the statement..... So, there's many ways that I can defeat the idea of putting those holes there." lends little credibility to whether people, in fact, do these things even at a subconcious level.

(You're being naïve. He (yes, he) got a lot of crap, so she pulled a "wait a minute, I'm talking about my boyfriend not me" switcheroo. It like when a poster describes some embarrassing problem "his friend" has.)no, im not pulling the boyfriend not me switcheroo, i honestly do have a boyfriend (btw im a he not a she) who does smoke and he did not get alot of crap. everything i say on here is the 100% truth, im not trying to pass the buck to someone else. this is about me not another person.

OK then, please come back with your smoking questions when you're 18 and we'll be happy to address them. Actually, they were addressed. Or tell your boyfriend to go to the store and ask them for the cheapest ones they have. What more can be said?
