I personally don't consider smoking as a bad thing, but not a good one either. Obviously the health implications are what people balk at, but hey I try not to smoke around other people unless they are ok with it, primarily so I can only be responsible for myself if you get what I mean. I would hate to cause someone health trouble through an action of mine, so I mainly smoke by myself. Like I said these Camel Crush are just so good, like whether you switch to menthol or not they are great. The thing I hate about European cigarettes though is the nicotine restrictions they have on them, like I believe an EU cig can only have 1mg of nicotine maximum. Some counteract that through perforations, but I prefer American cigs anyday, especially American Marlboro Reds, and I am itching to try Marlboro Smooths cause I hear they have a pepperminty flavour too.
