Hi my fellow smokers. With the prices of everything, including cigarettes, skyrocketing, do you find yourself buying the cheaper brands of smokes instead of your usual brand? I used to smoke Winston or Marlboros, but now I can't afford them anymore. I found a brand called Dallas, which I can buy a carton for less than $16.00. I had tried some of the others, like generic brands, but found them to be too harsh or smelled horrible. Dallas cigarettes aren't any different from the name brands. So, what are your thoughts on this subject?

We tried buying a different brand bec.we thought that as long as you can inhale something..it's all the same even if it's a different brand..but we were wrong..the taste is different..probably bec. you are already used to your brand and tendency you will have to go out and still buy your brand regardless the commodities are already high. ;p

Yeah, I hear ya Pink, but I forced myself to change to a cheaper brand, and they really aren't that bad.

I quit smoking all together about 2 1/2 years ago...saves me a lot of money...not to mention I can breathe now.
