Where can I purchase American Spirit Cigarettes?

Several Questions about Cigarettes?

  • I have quite a few questions regarding smoking/cigarettes. I am NOT looking for the answer: "QUIT!! SMOKING IS BAD!!"I am 20, and in college, and started smoking about a month and a half ago. I currently smoke American Spirit Yellows. So here are the questions: About cigarettes: 1) Whats the scoop on American Spirits being better? I know many say they are NOT, and have more nicotine than others, making them worse. But surely not having all those additives counts for something? 2) I am quire curious about menthols. I really like minty tastes, so I want to try them, but am reluctant based on many mixed messages I hear. I read that they may actually be LESS harmful than regular cigs: http://www.webmd.com/smoking-cessation/news/20110323/are-menthol-cigarettes-riskier-than-non-menthol. 3) Cigarettes going stale: how long does this take the happen? I only smoke about a pack or less a MONTH, and hear they go stale. I'm still getting used to the taste of cigs in general, so I don't know much about 'tasting the difference'. Is is bad to smoke stale ones? Personal: 1) I smoke no more than 4-5 cigarettes a WEEK. I do not inhale; I'm not trying to be lame, or a poser, I simply dislike the feel of the smoke going into my lungs. I like the aesthetic of the smoke, and how the cigarette burns out. At this rate, I know I am still exposing myself to mouth cancers, but what kind of damage does this amount of smoking without inhaling actually do? I can go weeks without smoking, so I do not think I am addicted. I know everyone says so, but I haven't ever found myself craving one. 2) Sometimes I have trouble getting the thing to stay lit. This is especially true on a windy day. I also flick it to ash quite a bit--could this be the issue? Are some cigs easier to light/keep lit? 3) At the amount I smoke, should I worry about menthols vs Spirits? I'm becoming drawn to trying menthols, as I think I would enjoy the flavor. That's it for now. Thanks so much!!!

  • Answer:

    American Spirits are supposed to the cigs that are totally tobacco and not so many chemicals. They are pretty good, as I've smoked them too. They last a long time as well. Menthol's do have a minty flavor to them, but it depends on what you get as to what you'll get out. There are Camel Crush ones, that you crush the filter to make the menthol come out into the cigarette. But, there are more chemicals in those do make them seem "cool". The first time I tried a menthol I didn't like it. But I've grown accustomed to them because they taste "cleaner". Most cigarettes now are made to be Fire Safe. If you look at the bottom of your pack and see "FSC", that means there are a LOT of chemicals in those to make the cigarette go out. NYC was the first to introduce these, as apparently there were many fires started by smokers who fell asleep/passed out while smoking. It's caught on, and now most cigarettes have the FSC on the bottom. Let me just tell you that you should quit while you can. If you don't smoke much, then it shouldn't be a problem. Smoking is addictive and very hard to quit, so if you don't smoke much - stop! I smoke so I can say that honestly. Please quit. It's so hard to stop if you keep doing it...

The biggest danger to you right now is that you will start smoking more. It happened to me. I went from a few cigarettes on weekends to now 3 packs a day. Well, I'm on my 4th pack today since I'm having a bad day. It's the natural tobacco that's bad for you, so smoking natural cigarettes aren't really going to be much better for you. If you don't inhale and you just like the aesthetic of smoking you really are just a poser. But eventually you'll be a real smoker. Smoke whatever you like best, because if you're smoking you don't care about the health part of it. I'm not a fan of menthols. I don't know anything about stale cigarettes since I only started buying my own when I started a pack a day.

Menthols suck. American spirits are rolled tightly I used to roll the paper so a little bit of the tobacco falls out the end and it loosens up. But smoke marlboro 27's

1. I've never tried them, but I know alot of people who praise them. My brand of choice are Winston Lights, but that's just me. Regardless of the addictives, it's still cancer ridden. 2. They're definately not less harmful, they can still give you cancer. As for trying them, go ahead. Just a warming, I've heard once you go menthol you never go back to regular, but that could easily be avoided I'd assume. 3. It's not bad to smoke stale ones, it just messes with the flavor. I've heard it takes 2 weeks for them to go bad, but idc cause I only smoke one a day anyway, sometimes every other day. - 1. The point of smoking cigarettes in general is to get a head rush, which is only possible if you inhale. If you wanna keep the smoke in your mouth instead of your lungs you might as well by some cigars, I suggest Black & Mild brand. These you NEVER inhale, and you just taste the smoke in your mouth with a puff. So, get these instead of cigarettes because smoking them how you're smoking them is a complete waste. Not inhaling is still bad and you could be exposed to mouth cancer in the future, but any short term problems im not really aware of. 2. Get a zippo if you're gonna be smoking outside. It's so easy to light, all you do is dose the end on the big flame. If you're using a disposable lighter, just keep trying over and over, that's all you can do. 3. Try whatever you want, but I still think it's a waste if you aren't inhaling.
