    If you wish to neuter them buy Virginia Slims. Or parliments.

    1... Vapes burn the back of your throat in a nasty chemical way that cigarettes don't.
    2... Tabex. Have to use PayPal to get it from the UK or go to Canada. Our corporatocracy needs to protect us from letting the tobacco companies go under. But it worked for me, at age 47 and smoker for 30+ years, I've been clean since Oct 1st of 2017.
    But do your due diligence and YMMV
     
    Upinsmoke, MACK E-6 and x1Heavy Thank this.

    Quit 11 years ago when I started this gig.
    No smoking in trucks or customer property and I said screw it. Told the wife you don't have to but if I do there will be no smoking in the house so she did too.
    Maybe I'll take it up again after I retire..Lord knows it's a beers best friend..lol
    Started when you could get both a pack and a gallon of gas for 50 cents.
    Still enjoy going outdoors at the restaurant after eating and smelling the air where folks are burning one.

    hey now, back in the late 1980's and into the mid 1990's a company i worked for, we hauled all the major brands and knock off brands of cigs, from the south up here to the north..

    cigs supplies jobs!!!

    never, EVER a slowdown, all year long, we went like gang busters.

    then too, we had the liquor and spirits companies down in KY, Bardstown (i believe) and other areas down there.

    VICES pay...!!!

    and people gotta have thier vices!!!
