They sound good, what's the brand name?ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 6:09 amImported additive-free tobacco. The filters are so clean you could re-use them, a quite amazing difference, no kidding......
Are you sure the filters aren't just crap?
I'm nearly 4 years without a smoke now and I still miss it. I walked past someone smoking the other day and deliberately inhaled a load of second hand smoke. It smelled good!

I'm used to vaping now but trading without a cigarette was initially really tough, and easy/convenient to blame losses on nicotine deprivation.

I buy it loose in a 500g bag and use Mascotte tubes (going out) or Rizlas (staying in).superfrank wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 6:54 pmThey sound good, what's the brand name?ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 6:09 amImported additive-free tobacco.

It's always top quality and not all sticks and course cut. It's really dry too so you're not just buying water which makes it quite a bit cheaper. Needs to be rehydrated a bit. I REALLY shouldn't tell you the brand because you've done so well. But for the record it's Natural American Spirit, or if I can't get that then Pueblo is equally good.
I know smoking is bad blah blah blah but if people can discus fine cigars and wine, then I don't see why the quality of the occasional cigarette shouldn't be as important. It'll probably kill me so it might as well be the best. I've smoked it for about 5 years now and when I switched I swear I felt like I'd cut my consumption in half and I've never had a cough since and breathe freely. Obviously they're not ever going to be stocked by Holland & Barratt but if you're going to do it then tobacco without added cyandide is an improvement. TBH I trust it more than unregulated vape 'juice' which always smells like burnt cooking oil to me and makes me cough like hell.
Stay strong frank, but if you slip make sure it's an occassion treat, like a fine wine, and not a full on habit.
Incidentally I can also go a LOT longer without a ciggy now too, i'm sure the chemicals wore off before the nicotene did with the old ones. If I could only ever get those again I'd quit.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
My problem is that I could never just do 5 or 10. It was always 30 or stop.
If I feel compelled to fall off the wagon again I'll give them a go.

Don't go back to the fags, you'll regret it. Now that beards are back I'm suprised that the trusty old pipe hasn't been seen in public more. There's an idea, "Vapipes" for the hipsters (trademark and pat pending).superfrank wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 7:49 pmThanks for the info, much appreciated.

That's the problem I have. I buy a pack of 20, smoke them in a day and stop for a week or two, but I can never make 20 last more than a day.superfrank wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 7:49 pmThanks for the info, much appreciated.

Speaking of McD, here's a rant. They're running a scratch card campaign in the US, with their commercials going "with a 1 in 4 chance of winning, you won't need luck." What now??? I'll go ahead and assume that the commercial budget is a non-issue for McD, so they're presumably on top of things enough to have concluded that their target audience would have no issue with that statement. Maybe it's just me being my nerdy and nitpicking self, but it absolutely made me want to throw someone at the screen every time, I heard it. Still, I guess, I should just be happy that the fact that this commercial didn't die in its infancy goes to show why some can make money in zero sum, games of chance
Same goes for those dreadful Head and Shoulders commercials. "Removes up to 100% dandruff." So between 0 and 100% you're selling people. Heinz Tomato Ketchup removes up to 100% dandruff would be equally true.

But you remembered the product so from an advertising point of view, they've nailed it Completely agree though.

"Inspired by dentists" is the latest one to make me grind my teeth, which means I then need the product. Clever stuff this advertising.
Incidentally...dentists...where the hell are all these coffee coloured honeys from the ads working!? Round our way it's a shakey old bird who smells like a pub carpet.
mmm "Lambrusco" ....inspired by dentists.

I've never forgotten an infuriating Aquafresh 3 advert of a cartoon of mummy, daddy and child all brushing their teeth and singing. But that's a problem from an advertising point of view - as long as I don't forget the ad I would never buy that toothpaste.CallumPerry wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 11:28 amBut you remembered the product so from an advertising point of view, they've nailed it Completely agree though.

As a trader Derek let's test how compliant you are to an instruction. Don't click the above link!! What a tune I remember the modern one with three little animated cartoons with the same melody in the background, they were so annoying!

I cannot speak to how it affects people unable to understand how stupid the sentence is from a math perspective, but I only remember it with such a negative connotation that my memory is always don't pick the brands from those c***s off the shelves. So no, they haven'tCallumPerry wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 11:28 amBut you remembered the product so from an advertising point of view, they've nailed it Completely agree though.
