Smoky goths

crucifix · 10-19-2007, 02:26 AM

Anyone else here smoke besides me? I don't do it in my house or around my younger siblings, but anyway, I was just wondering.

Underwater Ophelia · 10-19-2007, 08:27 AM

I smoke. Mm. I tried to quit but it isn't working.

badteccy · 10-19-2007, 08:34 AM

I NEED to quit because I am a singer...but shit, I love to smoke.

I second that. I need to cut back, though. I'm going through almost a pack a day.

I may start smoking cloves, cause I think they're more delicious than delicious caek.

True goffs only smoke cloves. LOL

I tried to be a smoker a few times, but I could just never get into it. Cigarettes make me sick. I do enjoy the occasional hookah or cigar, however.

I've been cutting back myself, but I have been a long-time clove smoker, preferring them before I even got into the scene.

I'll warn anyone that the whole stories about how they can make you cough up blood are true; that was an unfortunate lack of judgment in college. In moderation, they are still the best.

Graveyard.Crow · 10-19-2007, 11:03 AM

I love cloves. But I need to quit smoking the regular stuff as well.

Green.Lady · 10-19-2007, 11:41 AM

Tried it, it wasn't for me.

Methadrine · 10-19-2007, 12:10 PM

I smoke these sometimes... not on a regular basis though. Somehow the nicotine in usual cigarettes don't work on me as advertised, so I do it purely for the taste.

...and what are cloves?

Graveyard.Crow · 10-19-2007, 12:35 PM

It's this plant that you can smoke that tastes way better (and sweeter) than tobacco. It's also used as a spice. They are rolled in black paper which is where the whole stereotype comes from. Meaning the stereotype that only Goths smoke cloves because it matches their clothing.
XD

Methadrine · 10-19-2007, 12:39 PM

Oh, that sounds neat. I know someone who's going to look for those next time he visits the local tobacco-store.

To elaborate, they're not always wrapped in black paper, just the most popular brand.
Also, they're not purely clove, there's tobacco in them as well.

Graveyard.Crow · 10-19-2007, 12:56 PM

I was about to say "most" are wrapped in black but wasn't sure if I should. Thanks for clarifying.

Miss Cogs · 10-19-2007, 01:55 PM

No. I don't smoke. My parents smoke and I don't like the smell and plus, they are always weezy all the time. I don't really want to be walking around hacking things up and weezy all the time. =/

I smoked for several years, but never too heavily. I quit mainly because my wife did when she got pregnant. Also it's hard to afford a steady habit.

Now, on very rare special occasions, I smoke a clove cigar (I'd take a clove cigarette, but they're illegal here). I'm very much looking forward to my Halloween smoke--a little tribute to the inevitability of death.

honeythorn · 10-19-2007, 02:50 PM

I used to smoke for a while. I was quite stressed at the time though and immediately gave up when I sorted things out. I didn't smoke many though. A pack of 20 Malborogh lights or Silk cut silver ( very weak as far as cigs go ) would last me a fortnight! I would only want one when I was feeling a bit low, or I would occasionally have one when on a night out.

I have never tried a clove, I'd like to though, just to know that I have. I can't find them ( like so many things it would seem ) in usual shops, but there is a tobacco shop in the city that sells pipes and whatnot, which I have never been in, so I might try there.

Beneath the Shadows · 10-19-2007, 03:07 PM

I smoked for over 11 years. I'm trying to quit right now. It's been a bit over a month since my last cigarette.

Of course, I won't say no to pot.

It's not that hard to find them. 7-11 sells Djarums.

honeythorn · 10-19-2007, 03:17 PM

I live in the UK we don't have 7-11's . your average Spar/local co-op does not sell them, nor any of the supermarkets either. Like I say, the tobacconists is my only hope.

Funny too, my mother does not know I ever smoked. I have no idea what she would say if she found out, not that it matters , I am 25 and all my family smoke anyway. She'd probably be pissed off and dissapointed I suppose. Still, what she doesn't know eh? ^^

maggot · 10-19-2007, 03:45 PM

I do sometimes.

More and more, actually.

I have to stop for a week though. I just had oral surgery.

BLEED REBELION!!! · 10-19-2007, 04:28 PM

Weed is better than ciggys any day...

i'm on the same boat... but add menthol cigs when drinking and that is the only times i do it...

Saddiction · 10-19-2007, 05:01 PM

I quit 5 years ago. I'd never go back. I'm one of those evil reformed smokers.

I think that after you've been a smoker for 5+years and then quit (for good), you realize just how disgusting it is (at least that's how I feel about it).

KontanKarite · 10-19-2007, 05:05 PM

I never could get into smoking.

But I LOVE fucking LOVE a good hookah.
