Cigs

My friend picks up cigs of the ground that arnt that dirty and he said burning the filter cleans them and i tried to search that online but theirs no straight answer.

 

Its just dirty if they have gone past the 3 second rule so dont kiss him or her EVER

 

he said the ones in the sand ash trays are the best becouse there kept clean but i still worry but he was convinced that burning the filter cleans its and its nice to have you reply Ambie

 

So something thats been in someone else's mouth is clean so many ways of wrong

 

i thought it was true because fire does get rid of germs that doesn't mean i tried it i just don't judge other people

 

But if you burn the filter doesn't the filter just melt anyway?

 

no you dont burn it all the way just for 5 sec

 

I'd be more worried about the inevitable onset of lung cancer than what bacteria may or may not be on a fags filter

 

Australia is about to raise the legal smoking age to 21. It's 18 now.

 

What's the laws like in Australia, Lakeside. Here we've stopped people smoking in public places etc. It's seen a marginal reduction in people smoking.

 

Is that a total ban? Can't buy them etc?

 

Its getting that way. They are stopping it here with taxes and price increases. It's costing smokers about $1 a cigarette here now. The money from the taxes goes into the free hospitals to pay for their future diseases. Health insurance wont touch smokers here and that means they have to use the free public health system. Why they don't just ban them, I have no idea. Too much revenue for the Governments I guess. The constant price increases will eventually drive all but the rich to quit.

The government freely admits they are aiming at a 15-20% price rise every quarter in an attempt to price them out of the average person's reach but in a way that gives them time to kick the habit. Its a vile habit anyway as any non-smoker who has kissed a smoker will tell you. They taste like an ashtray and smell worse.

As a kid I was surrounded by smoking family members. Horrid..

 

Hi there. same other here taxes and bans on where you can smoke can smoke in workplaces even outside, work vans, pubs, etc even vaping is becoming frowned upon. All So agree governments won't ban it as too much revenue from it. I went out with a girl who smoked didn't last long hated it. I do smoke a odd joint every now and then 2 or 3 a month.
Went to France in August and people were smoking freely in restaurants no one stopped them ruined some of the meals.

 

Thing is.. the black market will always thrive however much they put the costs up..

 

This is not correct, only allowed on street to smoke, tolerated on terrasse restaurant, that's it.
