Well, I'm no smoker, or drinker, but if I were a smoker, and looking to buy cigs on the cheap, I'd buy them online. They're pretty cheap online.
Then again,... I make good life choices.

So I'm out with a friend and he excuses himself to go have a smoke. I say "You know those things will kill you?" He replies " I know. It's taking forever!"

There is a place in port charlotte on 41 called rolly smokes. You buy your tobacco and tubes there. You then go next door and join the social club and for a small price they will put everything in the machines and you go home with a carton of smokes for a total of about $27. The people there are very nice and very helpful.

I am not going to judge you for your choices. We all have vices, just seems smoking tends to pi$$ people off for some reason. Those that love to berate people for smoking just need to get over it. Some people do, some people don't.

I don't berate but I do like to point out irony.

There is an e-cig place on bee ridge close to 41. It's called clean smoke USA.

I wouldnt call that ironic at all.

e-cigarettes are water vapor and nicotine. They are harmless, and CAN even be sold to minors under 18! There's no ignition of smoke, no tar, no additives, no Ethel-methyl-bad-**** at all. You can even buy them without nicotine if you want to be socially acceptable. <G> But in seriousness, e-cigs are wonderful.

It's the 7mg of tar you have to inhale to get 0.6mg of nicotine that is the problem with real cigarettes. Nicotine in low doses is harmless. You dont want to drink a bottle of it, of course.

Now you're just insulting our collective intelligence.

I think we would not be piling on if OP had not been touting his "good choices" in another thread.

And smoking is not the same as religious and political beliefs. If you are a non smoker, it is disgusting to have to experience 2nd hand smoke. And you can't avoid it. You can avoid listening to others religious and political beliefs, but you can't avoid second hand smoke.

I am currrently in a hotel in Sarasota. No smoking in rooms policy. So the people 2 doors down smoke continously on the open walkway. They leave their ash tray there. We have to smell their smoke almost every time we walk to the elevator. And if they are not out there smoking, we smell their ash tray. It is all just gross.

So yes, I will berate smokers because they impose their choice on me in a way that religious or political fanatics do not.
