I light a cigarette and smoke it after every breakfast while sipping coffee in between.. and I really don't care if I had breakfast as long as I can smoke a cigarette and sip a coffee every morning?

Does your wife do this in front of you guys?
Do you allow them to smoke?

Well from experience, I hope Leah never starts, but she does not smoke. But I am the guilty one with smoking.

Sorry my Ena doesn't, but she did say she wanted to start the pipe! hehehe

I thought sitting and smoking was after something else.? hmmmm

I dont normally eat breakfast, but I do smoke, well me and my husband does. coffee and cigarettes goes together, beer too and oh anything in between. I wanted to quit couple of times but so far no success.

Yes.it show signs of depression.insecurities.complex.

But for me,I smoke because I want to smoke,,hehehe!
There are times that I feel bored and then I start smoking..but also lot of times that I will just tick away the cigarette and would not finish.and light again.
Sometimes it is relaxing, pshycological.
I smoke PM.everyone in PEE EYE should know that brand.

Go Someplaces in Pampanga or any in the country side ( but mostly Pampango women does ) women here smoke with lightedside inside their mouth under their tounge.

Do you guys prefer a filtred cigarette?

Do you guys prefer a filtered cigarette?

When I was in the Philippines I smoked what ever I can get the cheapest, all were filtered. I smoke the cheapest I can find here to. But it would cost me less to buy a carton (Rim) in the Philippines than it does to buy a pack here... If I am to continue to smoke, I have to go back to the Philippines.....

Would that be a peace pipe James?? I had 2 heart attacks a few months ago and my doctor warned me to stop smoking, i did try for a week but after smoking for 47 years now and really enjoying it i did not heed his warning, it may sound silly to you but i really enjoy the taste of Chesterfield Lights.

I had experienced buying from the local market.( by rim) geezzz! they are fake! It causes headaches. nausea, and coughs. 711 or Ministop is a better place to buy them.

Precaution:
It is dangerous to expose ouselves from smoke coming from the lighted tip of the cigarette. ( Carbon-monoxide) Passive smokers .
Beware smoking inside the room . open your windows or be sure you have an exhaust to bring the smoke out from the room.

It takes me to pay almost double of the prize just to have a genuine pack of cigarettes. Wish I can always find trusted traders where I can buy them.

What place in the Philippines is Leah?

Hi RRW!

I tried quiting for 5 years and I succeeded. There is no problem for me when I wanted to refrain from smoking. I can withdraw anytime.

When I was pregnant with my daughter 15 years ago, I eventually was able to stop up until when she was 3 years old had no problem with it, but gradually started smoking again whenever I'm out socializing with friends.. maybe another pregnancy will make me quit again. LOL we'll see in a week :d

I started smoking at 17 ,
My daughter had a PDA heart operation. that was a congenital desease. I learned that taking medication without doctors advice is not advicable.
I took a medicine for my fever when I was 5 months old pregnant with her and that maybe one of the cause my daughter had PDA.. or with excessive smoking too.

So for preggy woman.. NO SMOKING PLEASE!
Medication should be consulted first.

Anyone please tell me the cost of a pack of 20 cigarettes in the Phils? Thank you

Firefly 20 Cigs as in a pack? A pack will cost various pending on the brand and where you buy them. They run from 22 pesos to 40 peso. some maybe more. I was buying a rim (carton) for 97 pesos. But I smoke the cheapest I can find.

Thank you Coastie for the info. I smoke Chesterfield Lights and here the equivalent price is 104 pesos a pack which is expensive. What do you pay for a pack in the States?

I can't find Chesterfield lights here in Pee Eye ( there must be some place here I guess ) but only Chesterfield ( regular) 28-32 php a pack.

I dont smoke, but here in Florida where I live, I have seen most regular brands cost about 4 dollars a pack, and about 3 dollars for the off brands.
