Thanks everyone for your feedback and concern, but, I'm back again. Been busy dealing with all the stresses that life brings on a daily basis.

Hey, haven't heard from you in awhile. Hope things are well.

Hello,

I hope you don’t mind me messaging you like this. I’m a non smoker who is very tempted to start, and I would like your advice, as you started yourself as an adult. I’ve written about it here - [url]https://www.cigreviews.com/forums/general-smokers-discussion/9427-need-advice.html#post71967[/url]

Any comments would be gratefully received!

Happy birthday

Good to see a familiar face.

There’s not really any compromising. I just have to smoke as much as I can during the week and Juul on weekends

Yep its very hard to get one in on weekends.

Pleased to meet you Jim and it's a box of Marlboro Red 100's and unless I'm running low during the work day and need to grab an extra pack and unless the store is out of Red boxes (which is extremely rare), then I'll buy a soft pack, but, I've only had to buy a few soft packs and for the most part, most stores that we frequent don't carry them.

For the most part, on non-stressful days, I'm at about a pack and half a day, but, life and stress tend to push it more north of that on a more frequent daily basis lately.

Hey Rob thanks for reaching out, My name is Jim. Love your profile pic. I always show of my reds in my chest pocket also. I can’t tell if that is a box or soft pack in your pocket. I am a soft pack guy myself and smoke 1-2 ppd depending on the day. Look forward to hearing from you.
Jim

Thanks for your friend request. I smoke Marlboro 100s now also and have been going over a pack a day now.. I really enjoy helping others start smoking as well.
