They need to worry about the illegal drug problem in this country.

How are they going to differentiate from the lights? It's already a mouthful to say "Marlboro Menthol Light 100's" Am I gonna have to
describe the box?

You guys are delusional if you think this will even dent the amount of smokers in the world. Everyone knows what smoking will do to them, and they do it
anyway. I'm a smoker, and I knew all this shit before I started, but did it anyway.
When you're 18 you feel invincible, no matter how large the surgeon generals warning. |

I'd like to know who the people are that think smoking "lights" is healthier? I smoked Marb menthol lights because of the taste. Lights taste different than regular, than light 100's, than Newports, than Camels, etc... |

I doubt they will change the name. I got a pack a few weeks back (I smoke Marlboro Lights) and it had a huge thing on it that said that "lights"
refers to the taste. not the tar level. Or whatever.

I understand this change but fuck it I'll still smoke if I want to. With me, the term "mild" actually turned me off. I'd sometimes smoke them
to compliment a stronger one.

And raise the price? Dammit Obama you already did this to me! It costs damn near $8 a pack now! I was in New York like a month ago and they charged me $10 a
pack. I was like this better be a buy one get one free deal, but no!

I appreciate the efforts. Ive been smoking since I was 13 and have been struggling to quit for the last ten years. Warnings and price hikes havent made me
quit. I will quit when I want to stop and not a moment before. Did Barack finally stop smoking?

People that smoke cigarettes already don't have good priorities. I agree. They'd rather poison themselves than give a damn about their health or care about how much money they're pouring down the drain on a disgusting habit. I bet that everyone who smokes has never had someone close to them suffer or die from cancer otherwise they wouldn't be smoking in the first place. |

It's not just anti-depressants that can have bad side effects. It's pain killers too and if you're addicted you're not going to tell the doctor
that - like most druggies you'll get your game face on and just complain about pain so your doc will write a prescription.
Look at Heath Ledger - perfect example of another junkie on prescription drugs - guess his acting skills helped him at the dr's office too. Good point about alchol - there's no NEED for it - just like there's no NEED for cigarettes yet the government isn't always on the drink makers backs. And I have to agree - sure people die of 2nd hand smoke but the #'s aren't half as high as people who die or are severly injured b/c some idiot was driving drunk!! |

The smokers in this thread are really grasping at straws.

I'm not a smoker. I just feel if you want to smoke, you know the risks. So stop trying to blame the cigarette companies or expect the government to keep
you from smoking. It's not their job.
