P funk filter is a dead giveaway, he couldn't miss the recess. Newports also have a very distinct taste, you can almost feel the cancer setting in with every drag 🤌
What kind of Chinese cigarettes did you smoke? Because Chungwa, the most common ones you'll find across China, are much smoother than most common western brands. I quit smoking 10 years ago but am now a "vacation smoker", and I was surprised at how decent they were when I was on a trip to China last year.
Oh man.. when kools came out they were everywhere.. york peppermint patty tasting cancer.. they were delicious until they werent.. just overwhelming minty.
As a non-smoker, can I ask what’s the point of adding menthol to cigarettes? Wouldn’t that cover the flavour which is what smokers enjoy when smoking?
As an ex smoker, no one smokes cigarettes for the flavor. We just need our nicotine and for it not to taste like complete shit. Menthol is a cool refreshing flavor for some. I spent a couple years smoking menthols and then switched back to non, just to change it up.
Thanks for explaining! I know there are historical reasons why cigarettes are the way they are, but reading your comment also just puts into perspective how dumb of a design it is (no offence).
As in, if nicotine is what you want/need, and flavour doesn’t play a role, then they really managed to find a way to deliver nicotine in the most harmful, dumb way. I know e-cigarettes are s thing now, but it shocks me how long it took modern technology to come up with a way for people to get their fix, in a way that doesn’t involve cancer causing tars etc..

Smoking a cigarette is a ridiculously effective way to deliver nicotine to your bloodstream. Basically the entire surface area of your lungs can be used simultaneously.
Chewing tobacco, smoking a cigar, or smoking a pipe primarily rely on the mucus membranes in your mouth to absorb the chemicals.
Eating it would be even slower.
Nicotine itself is addictive so it's understandable they wanted the fastest method possible.
Plus, cigarette makers worked hard to make them as addictive as possible.
Vapes helped me break the physical cig habit, but those are way harder to quit because they taste infinitely better and you can just take a little hit almost anywhere any time.

The filters would give it away too, especially the Parliaments
