Yes they do. The ones in upstate New York do anyway.



Same here. Didn't start until I joined the service. Now I can't quit. Lol... good on you for breaking the habit though. I suppose I will one day.

USA cigarettes smell and taste like feet. lol

The last time I purchased off the reservation, they had American tobacco in them. Even though the brand name was Canadian. When I was in Hawaii, once upon a time, I had the same problem when I ran out of my own supply. The brand name was the same but the tobacco was not. :Sick:

I'm all for people who quit on their own.

On the other hand some people need it to steady their nerves like I need coffee to steady mine, so it really doesn't bother me if people smoke.

People today are just too damn intolerant.

On another subject - saw a cool T-shirt:

Did you get one?

Ya know what has been a real help to steady me through my cravings? And believe me when you smoke 3 or 4 an hour, the cravings are strong and frequent. :sweating:

Earl Gray, hot, black. Just the way Picard drank it. :smile:

Fratty and out of touch.
Matter of fact she talked about Canada and how the same drug is a whole lot cheaper up there.

Just don't switch to vaping. I know a lot of people who started doing that and now vape as much as they used to smoke.

Phillip Morris/Altria has made a big push to get into vaping but it hasn't translated into any new jobs at their headquarters. They're importing all the equipment from China. In fact, the deep water terminal in Richmond is expanding to handle all the new crap they're importing for production at their plant.

No, I have quit several times in the past and tried all the so called "quit smoking aids" you are just replacing one habit for another. The only effective way for me is cold turkey.

Why do we call it cold turkey? I like cold turkey. Especially in a sandwich. LOL

It's free for most people.

Healthcare here is free. No one gets turned away.

I don't pay for anything. The only time I have to pay on prescription is if I insist on the brand name drug. Then I would have to pay the difference.

She told me she actually looked into the Canadian prices. It's not free but it's only a tiny fraction of the cost up there. It's a really unique experimental drug she's taking. A more commonly prescribed drug might be free. She would have to be a Canadian citizen to buy it up there.

Or "know" one. :D

You mean she could give you her prescription and you could have it filled? It doesn't work that way, does it?

I don't have a clue, Sheltie.

I don't think the prescription would be honored in another country, do you?

I shouldn't have said that in the first place. I would not have any idea how to go about helping your friend, Sheltie. I mean I had cancer but, I don't anymore. So I'm not privy to the same specialists that I was back then.

I will ask around, if I figure something out, you will be the first to know.

18 year old Macallan straight room temperature. Just the way I drink it.:smile:

Did get a shirt though:

I live close to DC and this shirt will definitely trigger people.

Did you have one of those room temperature drinks before you read my post or am I just that bad at expressing myself. I have a feeling it's me.

When I asked, "Did you get one?" I was referring to the shirt. :blushing:

Nah, I just replied out of order.

I got a MAGA shirt (illustrated) just to trigger the locals. Can't put a bumper sticker on my car because it would be "keyed" by progressives.

However if the little girly-mans are upset about my shirt - I just tell them to "come get some".





However - you are peaking my interest and I might go back for the "Burglar Extinguisher" T-shirt.

I'm sure that will trigger some people.

Just had another ton of firewood dumped so at least I won't freeze. Found 2 cockies in the wood plus several bush spiders.
