Another thing is when I stopped the snouts the difference in how you feel the next day is unbelievable. 
I was actually ill after a night out when a smoker. 
Pack those ****ers up asap and feel the difference the next day.
You’ll feel better taking a nosebag then 20 snouts trust me. 
It’s night and day. 

Absolute poison they are. 

The dentist once asked ma Auld Boy if he smoked. Ma Da said "Only when I'm drinking". The dentist said "You must be an alcoholic/heavy drinker then". 🤣 

 

 

The thing is, he only smoked when he was bevvying and it was ma Maws fags he'd tan. She'd be cracking up. 

Good memories 😆😢

Don’t recall that. Diamond White was a strong cider around then. 

We really drank whatever was cheap and merrydown got you bonkers for a couple of quid.
Other ones were 20/20 and mibbe some cheap lagers to make snakebite or whatever. It was just get melted cheap as you could  

Do you remember Thunderbird, Jack?

 

My wife once went into Threshers to get a bottle, as a joke for a friend.  She was asked to prove her age.

 

She was feckin 32!  😳

I can't turn it up on Google either but I'm certain it existed! 

 

It is mad to think back at all the goodies that a tenner would get. I'm sure I remember a 10 of Richmond costing about £1.40. Didn't smoke back at that age though. Picked that habit up after I was 18. 

I mind saying I’d stop when they reached 2 quid. Then 3 then 4🙈

Thinking I enjoyed it and was cool as tabbin away. Smoked for a long time. Foul man I hope you’ve managed to pack it up too.

Quality. Stick to blue label if you can't handle it. Red label is the big boy bottle.

Thunderbird Red Label was my comfort blanket when I was following a couple of bands, a bottle of red label, a wrap of speed and a kebab was my diet!

My cigs are now £16 a packet. It's scandalous. I don't know how people who smoke twenty a day are managing to do it. Thankfully I have never got that deep into it. Six or seven a day has always been my limit.

Years ago when I worked in the caley sample room, Clive the cleaner told me to smoke rollies instead of tipped fags when on the piss as its the saltpetre in the fags that made a hangover worse. He was actually correct. Definitely made a big difference to the morning after.

Blastaways, loved them. You could get pished on just a few pints and then tasted the same as a can of lilt.

Mate I used to be the same all weak as **** when I went out and end up back on them. I don’t know what just happened one day, I went out to my place in Spain and for some reason didn’t buy my duty frees, then something just clicked and thank god it did too. I actually fecking hate them now. The smell after someone comes back into the pub just about makes me throw up now. 
You’ll be able to drink more as well when you pack the foul things up. 
😂

See going abroad is a problem for me because location dependant of course, the novelty of buying fags for like £3 just gets the better of me.  

 

Tbf it all makes sense. I used to sink pints like they're going out of fashion, but smoking slows me right down on them and I tend to hit a brick wall a lot quicker. Some might say that's no a bad thing, but I do.

You think that’s harsh ?

Sorry, I’ll use whales or lard buckets in future

I've thought about this.

 

You hate cos you're a self loathing ex smoker.

 

Me? Am a skinny ex junkie and ex smoker. A hate nobody apart from people who zero in on a trait and target it.

No self loathing here.

I loved smoking .

i love vaping

i love drinking too

However, how the feeders are protected from the shaming is beyond me.

Smokers are forced outside

Addicts into queues at the chemist .

Make eaters pay for the NHS costs as drinkers and smokers do .

As do drivers .

Overweight are “brave “ and “proud “

and natural right?

The biggest costs the NHS faces in the coming years is the eaters.

Well the OP has been turned in it’s head.

 

So back to tobacco prices.

 

Adding

 

Can tobacco be grown and processed into a smokeable product in your own garden?

Sounds like diversion tbh.

 

It's cool. You're ok as who you are. You don't need to come on here and pretend to be something you're not.

 

Have a pie. Have a pastie..

 

Well done on giving up the tabs though.
