Smokers, what's your brand?
I like Benson and Hedges Special king size, although I call them "King Size specials" because when I began smoking them I was in Montreal and always had to ask in french, to this day I still get looks at the gas station.

6. Love em
Recently began smoking again, I will stop soon, but why ruin summer by trying to quit, before I used to smoke drum...yowwazaa! Anyway, I like the ban's because up here all the smokers go outside to smoke making it another social venue, plus you don't reek the next day!

9. Parliament Lights
No desire to quit and paying a lot of money for cigarettes so Bloomberg and Pataki can do absolutely nothing for my city or state.

11. Good for you
I know you're young and when I saw the "my brand?" title I was kinda pissed, I'm glad you don't smoke. DOn't ever start, even when you quit, a year later, you'll do it again!

13. I'm in NY, so...
I smoke whatever's cheapest at the moment.

Luckily for me there's a cheap cigarette shop near my house where I can get 2-packs for $5.75.

They cost about $8 a pack in NYC.

Before the tax increase I used to be more selective.

I started smoking when I was 21 and I smoked Djarums, the Indonesian clove cigarettes that taste like cinamon. ooooh, those were good.

Then I went hard-core and smoked Camel WIDES, which is like sticking a tailpipe in your mouth.

Then on a road trip to Ohio I discovered Basics and USA Gold - $1.25 a pack. Whoo hoo.

Now I smoke Dorals.

20. Addict though I be...
I'm packing tubes these days. So much cheaper. I try lots of different tobaccos.

Current favorite: American Spirit.

I recently tried a premium brand called "Danish Export"

Can they even grow tobacco in Denmark, much less enough to export?
