I'd smoke a cig here and there when my friends were smoking but I never really got into it like that. As a matter of fact I've never bought a pack of cigs. I use to bum off my friends but now even when they smoke I turn down the offer for a loosey. I can tell the difference in my lungs already... especially when I smoke weed. It seems I can take bigger hits w/o coughing when I'm not smoking cigs.

Sometimes I'll smoke some loose leaf american spirits...just depends on how I feel. Sometimes I'll roll one and smoke it like a cigar. Sometimes inhale the whole thing...sometimes a few puffs. Most I ever smoke is 2 a day... most days either 1 or none.

I've been this way for 2 years or so. I've taken months off without even thinking. American Spirits aren't addicting IMO at all... its all the additive candy cigarettes like marlboro's/camels etc that are addictive!!

I think tobacco is actually somewhat good...pure tobacco...in moderation. But I don't really need it. and if I feel I do..I can just smoke one like a cigar for some nicotine.

Hahaha, well I don't know about that. I think it's more due to you only smoking 2 cigs a day, that's not really enough nicotine to develop an addiction. I bet if you start smoking an extra 4 American Spirits, you get addicted like hell.

Winstons (aka the cigarette of NASCAR) are also supposed to be additive free
(anyone know if they make winston menthols? Just curious, never seen em)

I've been smokeing 38 years, quit twice and always went back. I started to smoke a pipe in December at least I'm not inhaleing now(tobacco). Hopefully I'll be smoke free by Feb or March as I keep cutting back.

Quit drinking back in 94 and felt alot better.

Good luck to all who are kicking the habit!!!, and Best Wishes in the New Year!!!

according to this article released by the ny times in 1981, they were discontinued.

It's a shame though because even though I am desperately trying to quit I still smoke about 5 a day, usually just after meals when i just wake up and right before i go to sleep... and american spirits are so damn expensive... right now i'm smoking camel menthols as an alternate to the newports i've been smoking for 3 years. anyone have any advice for me the guy that always has to be smoking something either a cigarette or weed all the time? and I couldn't afford to smoke weed every time I want a cig or i'd be in the poor house. another thing that will strike me to smoke a cig is in between legenthy epic crysis UT3 and orange box battles. haha any way let me know if you guys have any advice for me

gave cigarets up jan 2(love to smoke when i have hang overs jan 1, hehe). not first time but they say the more times you try the closer you get to totally stop. i always start again because of smoking jays with tobacco so from now on its all cannabis and no tobacco. i got some nice instruments to smoke it pure and i really like the taste better without tobacco. i always gain 7-10 kilo so i also droped cream and sugar in my 10 cups of coffee a day.

wish you all luck on giving tobacco the fawk finger

All going well here so far anyway. Myself and the missus are loving smoking pure weed through a pipe or a vaporizer and havent even noticed the cigarettes really after the first couple of days.

I installed a programme that tells me how much money I've saved (€50), how many cigarettes I would have smoked (133) and how much of my life I have saved (11 hours) in the 6 days since we've been off em.

It's available here:

Keep it up if you're off em!

u can buy loose leaf american spirit. u only need like 2 hits and it hits ya good. u can't really use the money argument on why u don't want to buy american spirits... i only say this because I think u get more tobacco per cigarette with AmSpirits since its 100 percent tobacco. to each his own. today i made tea with a pinch of org amspirit tobacco and it was hella relaxing. in fact, i think i'll just make tea for now on. careful though as i heard u can die if u use too much and/or steep too long. i steeped 3 minutes and with some green tea. SOOOOO relaxing !!

You probably do get more tobacco per cig with American Spirits cause American Spirits are one of the highest in nicotine and tar per cigarette, haha

I tried forever to find seeds for a low nicotine tobacco strain, to no avail
I'm gonna get some D&R rolling tobacco though

y'all should check out this book "on drugs" by david lenson. interesting, especially re: cigarettes. unlike marijuana, tobacco really doesn't have any benefits (beyond slight stimulant effect) from the get-go; it's only when you smoke to feed your addiction to nicotine (that you've developed) that you feel any pleasure. when i realized this i completely gave up smoking cigs regularly, though i do have a lil tobacco w/ spliffs every so often
