if you already smoke weed, i'd say your lungs are capable of a full-flavor cigarette to start
first piece of advice stay away from marbs except 27s, the rest taste like pure chemicals
i'd suggest camels as a nice basic starter smoke

pack on the right is what you're looking for
if you are curious about menthol, can't go wrong with camel menthols or, for a stronger menthol, newps

if you don't really dig the menthol, i'd try kamel reds, camel turkish royals, american spirit blues, or marlboro 27s

gotta say my favorites are turkish royals, but they can get boring after a couple packs
I smoked for a while and am sort of neutral on it. For me, it had a minimal effect on my stress levels but a large one on my wallet :P. Never got why people started for social reasons (ie. fitting in, being "cool", ect) but whatever.
I'm not gonna tell you not to do it, but be aware of how much it costs. Camel Blues were my choice.

Atleast i respect my lungs somehow.
Was smoking red 3 years ago, but i got so sick that i quit smoking for a few months until i started to smoke blue
Even though I enjoy smoking, and I find it does help with stress, I say don't bother starting. There are much cheaper, healthier ways to relieve stress, and even if you find you quite like you'll be better off never knowing.
But it's your call, my personal favourite:

I think I spent about an hour just practising rolling until I could do it alright, since spending ages trying to make one when you're not very good is hassle.
If you're going to smoke at all, don't. Just vape instead with e-cigs. You still get the drug part but without any of the cancer and dead lungs.
Obviously still addictive if you have that kinda of personality. I've had the dse-901 model for a year I use it on and off. Pretty good.
Last I checked its around 25 US dollars. You can get the 35ml bottles for refilling the carts for around 8 dollars a piece.
You still blow out a vapor mimicking cig smoke, but it doesn't smell like ass and you can get different flavors, right now I have vanilla, also have french creame pie. You can also get more traditional flavors or none at all, also can get a variety of potencies.
[QUOTE=Roskarnolkov;27702939]All cigarettes do for you is relieve a very slight amount of tension, [I]and this is only once you are addicted[/I]. There's virtually no appeal to it at all unless you're 16, living in the 1950s, and have no other means by which you can achieve coolness (Or if you are trying to kill yourself in a more sophisticated and gradual fashion). Not only that, but there are disadvantages to smoking cigarettes that only detract from the already minimal amount of appeal you may still see in it. That smoking cigarettes increases your chances of getting cancer, fucks up your lungs, and makes you seem dirtier is not a lie. In short: You probably shouldn't do it.[/QUOTE]
It does have very real depressant and stimulant effects. Big drags are depressing on the body and small ones are stimulating. I seem to remember this is due to high blood:nicotine levels changing the qualitative aspects due to glucose levels.
Anyway, nicotine does relieve stress in everyone mildly. It's not worth it but it'd be folly to say it had no advantages.

Has nothing to do with them being menthol but more about them being mostly light smokes.

5-10 bucks. could be 3-2 maybe even a dollar for cigarettes if you get really shit quality (i got davidoffs for like a buck in this one smoke shop, they were decent considering i only had a dollar to spend on smokes at the time)

That's because you don't appreciate the full flavor of the tobacco, and also it's even worse than reds.
My advice is don't buy cigs, and don't drink. Get weed and chill out. Don't smoke it too much, just some Kush here and there. A bowl a day keeps the bad away.

People are just telling you what you wanted to know and giving you advice. Are you going to keep saying it doesn't concern people until someone says "Yes, you should definitely smoke?" It does concern us too, cigarettes are so incredibly bad for you and can shave off 10 years of your life. When you only have one life, that's short enough as it is, you can't afford to take a risk like that. Most people here are just trying to help you and give you advice about better alternatives. Why would you smoke something that kills you, hardly has an effect, causes MANY diseases and problems, and is addictive, when you can smoke weed which lasts for hours, makes you feel crazy good, and is barely harmful. It even has tons of medical uses, whereas (I don't think) cigarettes don't. I don't mean to be telling you how to live your life, but you're basically telling us to stop telling you what cigs do and don't, which is basically what you're asking. They really don't relieve stress well at all compared to some legal ways that don't involve drugs. If anything, they might cause you more stress if you get addicted to them.
i'm late to this thread but here's my two cents.
i started smoking cigars in grade 8. Captain blacks. Thought it was the bomb, would go home after school with a buddy excited to smoke our new 'cherry' captain black. always got a wicked buzz off it (and i hadn't ever smoked weed or anything so i thought it was the dopest shit ever)
eventually captain blacks became prime times. (flavours cigarillos with cigarette filters [now illegal]) These things were like captain blacks - but with better taste, more smooth and an easier buzz. So i phased out CB's and only started smoking PT's. I'd have one maybe every 2nd or third day. Depended how i felt at the time.
Then by grade ten i was down to get my first pack of smokes. Why? [i]for the same reason you had said - stress[/i] (I was a fifteen year old fighting with his girlfriend that was giving him pussy every day. Come on you cant expect that not to stress out a horny, angsty 15 year old who just lost his v-card!)
but anyway - i asked to get Number 7 blues, (my mom smoked them) but this kid i worked with said those were nasty and to get Export A blues (premium quality/most expensive) and so i did.
i thought prime times gave a rank buzz? hell naw. These cigarettes didn't even taste bad, i always thought it left a sort of 'coffee' flavour in my mouth. Plus i usually smoked with gum (don't do this btw). Once i bought cigarettes the whole 'one a day' thing was gone and i started smoking more regularly and buying 2-3 packs a week. This number only increased over time.
Now here we are over 3 years later after i bought my first pack of cigarettes. 4 and a half years after my first pack of PT's. and over 5 years after i bought my first pack of CB's. Do i regret it? Mostly. But once you start a nicotine addiction (which has been proven to be more addictive than heroin in some cases [my case is a 3 year heavy smoking addiction]) it's something you almost DON'T even want to give up because it's so cheap and easily accessible. (although over the past 3 years i've spent literally THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of dollars)
I just know one day i won't be able to do any drugs anymore.. not even weed.. and i don't drink so that's out of the question.. but one thing is for sure...
I'll always have my cigarettes.
But my advice to you is - unless you want a co-dependent relationship with a nicotine addiction, i'd say quit while you're ahead.
oh did i forget to mention i don't get 'buzzes' anymore? just straight addiction

I love you and your good taste.
As a smoker I'd personally say dont start or if you do, dont smoke very often. But I smoke pall mall blue 100's, camel wides, or turkish silvers. And they dont really help me with stress.... Alcohol does though! ha hell yeah it does.
[QUOTE=Super_Nova;27690301]Hey guys, new smoker here. I'm gonna try out some cigarettes later on. Any brands to recommend? I was thinking of buying some pure tobacco, rolling paper and one of those cigarette makers so I can smoke pure tobacco, since it'll be a lot healthier. Still, I want to try some brands as I said. What do you all smoke? Does it help with stress? That's the main reason I'm gonna start.[/QUOTE]
Im still recovering from reading "tobacco" and "healthier", what the fuck, their is absolutely nothing healthy about tobacco, it's fucking retarded, does nothing, and is addictive, ya I smoke, because it used to make me lessed stressed out, now, it does jack shit, but they are addictive, fuck tobacco, smoke weed.

heart disease, nice brand. I prefer strokes or lung cancer myself.
I smoked a cigarette a while back because it was really cold outside and I thought maybe smoke in my lungs would warm me up.
all it did was make me feel really nauseous, but I guess it did warm me up a bit. Not worth it.
More recently, I got pretty drunk and decided to smoke a cigarette for some reason. Each hit from the cigarette seemed to amplify the effects of the alcohol, and by the time I finished it I couldn't even stand up for a few minutes. It was kinda cool. So maybe I'll have a nice menthol if I've been drinking, but otherwise I don't think smoking tobacco is worth it at all.
Well, except maybe shisha. I wanna try that some time.

softpack?
Yeah, softpack.
But than you can't pack them.
That's good or bad, depending on your preference.
I like a lot of smoke when I take a drag, so I try to stay away from soft packs.
[QUOTE=Peavy262;27690804]Yeah they definitely are.
5.60 for marb reds which is so so, but for newports it's 8.
NYC last time I was down I saw a sign for reds and it said they were like 7.60

gsmoke
I don't know why people keep saying they get you higher.
They give you a buzz.
I smoke them when I'm high and they don't get me higher, they used to when I wasn't addicted because like I said I got a buzz.
