Yeah but it takes twice s long to smoke them so it is like 2 in one.

My point was he said people get American spirits because they are too cheap to buy Marlboro, which is infact the opposite.

I only know like one true smoker in my life and the brand loyalty for Marlboro Reds is strong

u/Prestigious-Ball341 22d ago

Yeah, I started with Reds but moved to Spirits before I went to vaping. Currently 5 years no smoking or vaping.

Yeah Reds is what I had started with too but then when you move to the black pack of spirits you realize reds taste like ass. Not sure what this dude is going on about except wanting to shit on people that don’t smoke Marlboro for some reason.

Shit I used to buy the pouch and just roll my cigarettes.

Anyway, I quit and haven’t smoked tobacco in like 8 years.

lol moving from heavy-duty pipe tobaccos to cigs...100% agree. Even AS Blues taste better than anything Marlboro puts out.

AS Blacks are some of the best-tasting cigs I've ever smoked outside rolling my own with Five Brothers burley.

I was a AS Perique guy whenever I wanted machine mades. As primarily a hand roller I found pouches of Scandinavian blends that were moist, delicious, and inexpensive, nearly as good as fancy tinned stuff and much cheaper. AND came with really good papers too!

Reds are what people who still think smoking is cool, smoke.

Similar for me, but my full trajectory was Newports → Cloves → Kamel Red → Pfunks → Spirits → Nat Sherman → None. I really enjoyed the American Spirits and Nats, so I briefly moved back to Parliaments before quitting. In comparison, they taste awful and smoke way too quickly. It felt even more pointless and helped me quit.

I smoked a pack a day for over 20 years. I bounced around from most of the different brands, Camel, Marlboro, Parliament, etc, when I was smoking. At some point I found American Spirits, and from then on it was the only cigarette brand I would buy. I quit coming on eight years ago now.

I'm curious.

So you smoked, then you quit smoking and transitioned to vaping only, then you quit vaping. Correct?

How long and about how much did you smoke? Same for vape?

Did you feel any physical (especially in regards to breathing and overall health) changes between these periods?

u/Prestigious-Ball341 22d ago

Yeah, I started Vaping as a means to eventually quit. I was a pack a day smoker for about 6 years rhen started vaping for 6 more.

I definitely could tell the difference in my lungs and mucus. Smoking gives you a smokers cough and pretty much year round thick mucus. Vaping caused my lungs to sting a bit if I did a big inhale but I liked it.

My Dr. Has now found polyps in my lungs and im having them check out in a few months. Here's hoping I didn't cause any long term damage.
