Cigarette question

---

Ok, this is a stupid question, but I'd like to know the answer.Which is the "better" type...as in "better" for you, though I know smoking isnt good for you at all.The low MG or the high MG ones?

What's MG?

I only smoke ultralights, but I havent' had one in a couple of months.

Studies have shown that even if a cigarette is less harmful (as in, less nicotine, less tar, whatever), smokers subconsciously take bigger drags to get the same effect.So I doubt it matters.

the measurement is per cigarette not per drag....and i personally smoke parliament lights, there the healthiest LIGHT cigarette that u can smoke. can u explain what MG means?

The MG TC is talking about probably referes to milligram, as in how many milligram of nicotine/tar in each cigarette.

Healthy is only relative to what you compare it to. There is no such thing as a healthy cigarette but if you want the effects in smaller doses try the ultralights or lights. Or just do what i do, don't smoke.

Healthiest and cigarette are two words that don't belong in the same sentence. Smoking is bad, the difference between how bad is negligible.

ultra light? jesus man, thats like smoking plain paper!If I had the time Id write an essay on how healthy some smoke is for you, and no I dont mean its good for you, but its far less worse than ciggys or cigars! studies show no tar and only 2mg of nicotine....look into shisha and hookah if ya want to know more.IF not, it will have to wait till I have time to come back and find the article and publish it here with is sources.Too much work to do today! just catching up some emails and Pms on this site and scanning threads before I get my ass busy making money!

Yup Ultra light. Anything else is just too strong. I was smoking reds many years ago. But I've been an on and off smoker since I was about 25. more off than on. I haven't smoked in a while and I prefer not to. But after a good dinner when you're really stuffed. A smoke is nice. I still get that urge after dinner but I prefer not to.I'll probably get a carton when I go out to sea again this summer. It's just so boring. There's nothing to do except smoke and stare out at the water.

well than ya gotta look into the hookah!
I got hooked up on it (no pun intended) by my buddy from jordan, its what you do after dinner! and no tar and nearly no nicotine, arabic tobacco only, I like to two apples one best. its tobacco and fruit mixed in molasses, its wet and gooey and tastes like fucking heaven, still satisfies that urge to smoke, and tastes so much better than my lights!
I smoke lights have for about 12 years, I smoked reds to begin with, then mediums when they came out, but its been lights for many years now as that is the taste I prefer, Julie calls mine pussy smokes and sticks with reds her self.
A lesson from my buddy, hes off to Jordan the 25th thsi month, for a month, he is bringing me my own hookah, he told me the china glass is pure sheet end you never get a good seal, it is junk muther fucker!
so he is bringing me back some glass from either egyptian, or syrian origin. That is the only fucking glass for smoking that is right! that china sheet you get from schops here 'inda yoo ess it is not good my man!
I found websites that i can order the glass from the middle east, but I didnt want to offend him by doing it myself when he told me he is bringing me one back. He is really a hell of a good guy, just got to work on some basic english slang with him, there is a huge difference between blow me and blow me off...

@sdp: You smoked Reds and then went to Ultra Lights? Damn, that's quite a jump.@grvty:Do you have your own hookah? How big is it? How many tubes?Parents of a friend of mine went to Egypt for vacation once and brought back to 6-foot hookahs. Crazy shit. One with two tubes, the other one with four. Pretty sweet stuff.

I'm talking over the course of 20 years.

My buddy has 3 of them, 1 from egypt, the other two from syria. the first one is 20 years old! its a big green bastard, looking at it right now. Its about 2 1/2 feet tall, it places for 2 tubes, but only one is attached the other is used with a little valve in it for a carb. He keeps it here, and is normally around on sunday nights if we are home to cook dinner and eat with us and bullshit, after dinner we smoke the shisha! the other two he keeps at home, but brings them by on occasion. Never smoked anything but tobacco out of them, at least not out of his pipes, I have out of other peoples. Shit till I met this guy I dint even know anyone really used them for anything that wasnt hash, weed, or opium!
We light them up after dinner, its got a wind screen that pops over the top, filled with special charcoals, and with me and him and Julie hitting it here and there it burns for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
The other two are younger hookahs, one he got abut 10 years ago, and the other is actually his brothers, but he has it.
He told me when he goes back to jordan this month hes bringing me my own, and hes trying to make some contacts there to import them to the US, wants to open a shisha bar in utah, and wants me to run security. Like a arabic coffee shop with tobacco and mid eastern food, already looking at 3 different buildings to lease or buy, and Julz is figuring out the network settings to enable a wireless signal through a limited area for lap tops to surf but keep our network separate for work computers.
Hell who knows, it might even work!? Its either that or he wants to a buy a warehouse thats not too far away from us and turn it into a night club with shisha smoking and an outdoor patio for summer and a DJ and food and a big ass dance floor.
I utah it looks as thought we have to have a private club to have the shisha, if thats the case he wants a night club isnce private clubs have the license for booze anyways.
either way, if hes serious, Im in! his idea of night clubs is the shit he saw when he lived in new york, and that is something that Utah has never seen, in style, in capacity, in any form.

Hookahs are pretty cool things.The only shisha (is that how it's spelled? I've always wondered) I've ever smoked was strawberry-flavor. I liked how it was a nice smooth hit and it actually tasted good.I've heard it's a bad idea to smoke weed out of it, though. I kind of agree, just because the shit has to be burning continuously, which would just be a waste of weed unless you got someone hitting it the entire time (with a rotation).Also, they have hookah bars where I live, so I'm sure it's possible for your friend to start up his own.

just to clarify, light smokes are in no way any better for you, your "chances" of getting lung cancer are just as high, not everyone will develop lung cancer from smoking its about 1 in 2, not very good odds. This being said, i am an on and off smoker for about a year but im only 17, and recently a law was passed (in Canada) that you can not call smokes light anymore only smooth.

It was never if it is possible, its if lease and local law depending on location and proximity to schools and churches and shit make it allowable.I pick him up at the airport saturday at 1130 pm, see what happens from there. Suposed to go look at 3 buildings monday, but hes jsut been to Jordan for the last mnth, a 13 hour time difference, have to see hwo teh jet lag is on monday and if the money he counted on came through when he was in Jordan.Have to wait and see also if my end of the money is secured or not, still waitintg to hear back on that.didnt like the strawberry, the double apple is my favorite and some other one he mixes half and half with a anise one is pretty damned tasty as well.

as for smoking cigarettes, parliament lights. but ever since i started smoking hookah again, i dont really smoke cigs unless im out in the street, or cant get the tempo correct for a song... but ive actually partially quit...

i have a hookah myself... i call it the barney's pipe (like the purple dinosaur) its purple with a see through base. metal pipe on one end, and a hose on the other. my favorite shisha though is the mixed berries one, with half apple and half guava.

killer !!!

lol and no your not supposed to smoke weed from it, but what i've learned is if u mix about an ounce-2 ounces of weed with the bag of shisha, and just cold stone that bitch, then it doesnt burn so fast and actually stays on pace with the shisha... i wouldnt suggest smoking them together, it gets u higher than you'd ever imagine, and if u hit it to strong u will pass out... i've learned my lesson already.

but ive actually partially quit... Quit fooling yourself or making excuses. You've quit when you don't smoke at all anymore.

i only smoke cigarettes if im not getting the tempo right... i dont smoke other than that... i think ive had 1 cigarette outside of that...

That's all fine and dandy... Reducing the amount you smoke is great. It's better than nothing.. But until you completely quit, don't say you've quit.
