Okay I just had an argument with my new apartment-mate about cigarettes. He's french and only smokes Marlboro Red's :beatnik: I explained to him I enjoy a few different varieties (Reds, Camel Wides, Parliament's, Spirit's, to name a few), and he flipped out... He claimed it's a proven, scientific fact, that smoking a variety of cigarettes is "LIKE THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO!" yada yada. I asked him to explain, and he stated some totally nonsensical "fact" that because the tar levels are different in different cig's, it's really bad to smoke different kinds. Yea, I asked him to explain further, because that still doesn't prove anything. He just repeated with gusto "IT'S JUST A KNOWN FACT!". He tells me to Google it, and that there's scientific studies done. I did. I found nothing. NOTHING I TELL YOU! I am starting to think this is an old-wives-tale popular in his country. Oh and don't get me started on the irony of him telling me smoking a variety of cigarettes is bad lol. Can anyone shed some light on this?
yeah.. because out of all the cig companies in the world.. Phillip Morris is the one i would trust the most.. stupid fucking french fry...
lol Marlboro reds are probably the strongest and most unhealthy cigarettes there are, aside from Marlboro menthols.
Pall Malls got lizards wearing crown on the pack,. cause your head feels like it has a ton of metal in it and you turn green.. uke:
Yea kid couldn't explain any further when i questioned him, so told me to google it. Sad thing is, he's a finance major and he has little if any critical thinking skills. I think he's a victim of, "real men smoke Reds" propaganda.
hey now, no need to bring "french" fries into this, they arent even originally french. potato fries are Belgian. on another note, the only facts i know are that he is not only french, but he smokes Marb reds, and as a result i dont like him already. Marbs taste like smoking mud, and they are likely among the least healthy smokes available, they are tied with newports. blec uke: and his little "fact" is total bullshit. trying out new varieties of smokes is wonderful. gives you a better idea about what you will eventually settle on as "your brand" and even after you know your preference its always nice to try something new every once in a while. fuck Marbs, smoke Camels (i go for lights myself, but i still occasionally get crushes) not only are they the best tasting commercial brand of cigarettes (and this ofc is my opinion that just happens to be right), but they are the only brand that still have all-cotton filters, so the butts decompose. camels are good for the environment as for sticking exclusively with Marb reds? yuck, thats like ONLY drinking Bud Light (piss water). its despicable!!
Very neurotic ppl. But what do ya expect when there forced to eat frogs legs and snails from an early age lol.
OK- so a couple things- 1-You brought this discussion/question here looking for answers? 2-You really had to google that? What search terms did you use? 3-Do you think they are thinking about putting a second warning on cigarrettes "The Surgeon General has determined that smoking different types of cigarettes is MORE dangerous to your health than only smoke one type"
Nothing. I love Marlboro menthols, but they're insanely strong, compared to other cigarettes. They seem even stronger than Newports, imo.
Answers to your questions: 1. Yes. To see if anyone has heard of this "old-wives-tale" that in the long run, it's less harmful by sticking to one brand. 2. Yes? Since he told me to google "scientific study concerning health impact of smoking different brands of cigarettes". And, I wanted to see if this was a common idea or legend in other parts of the world. So why the snide tone? 3. Your 3rd question doesn't make sense, or you made a poor effort stating it. I'll still attempt to answer: No, I don't think the Surgeon General will put a second label....why would I? You seemed to be the one person who took my question for stupidity, missed my mocking tone of the person who originally asked it, and failed to recognize my blatant intention to gather if other people have heard of this strange belief. Maybe re-read before you criticise :2thumbsup:
I literally said some of these same things. :2thumbsup: But his point was from a health perspective, not that of pleasure. If only he could understand the stupidity of his comment, lol.
Yea I was a little drunk and high when I wrote this (just drunk now-I don't enjoy smoking after drinking when the sun is out) but yea I sort of gathered that you were being sarcastic-but you weren't being sarcastic enough.-it's hard in writing. Sorry I should have 'run with it more'. And yea my point #3-you would ask him about this.
lol...the guy must be delusional, lol..all cigarettes are bad for you, non filtered ones the most, then strong ones like Marlboro Red's , Newports, Camels.,etc..then the "light cigarettes are less tar per cigarette, but most people tend to smoke more of the "light cigarettes" , so dude is delusional or is secretly working for Phillip Morris or is perhaps insane!!! lol,,or a combonation of all these things, in other words he is inccorrect!! lol..
