One day, he stole two cigarettes from his parents, a nearly empty package, they were Winstons, I think....and brought them. So, I tried one of them. One inhale, I gagged, and decided it was a stupid habit. Never smoked again. At least on until I had lunch in a student union.....

I have heard things similar to that and I know who's big on smoking Kool and Newports, on the other hand 30 plus years ago when I used to smoke I smoke menthol cigarettes. Originally camel filters but I did switch to True menthol.

I started out with Newports... Went to Marlboro... Smoked Winston for years.. Then smoked whatever was bargain Menthol or Salem ultra lights... Glad that I quit... However I do miss it at times... it was a huge part of my persona...
