All smokers have a common death wish, but express their personalities differently.
I see that menthol cigs, the outward sign of a bizarre sexual preference, are now banned in the UK.
Practically all the other brands taste pretty much the same and label the user as an antisocial moron, but
In July 2016, the French government considered a ban on both the Gitanes and Gauloises cigarette brands because they were deemed "too stylish and cool".
which is why I smoked them in my cool, stylish youth. But since the UK government has banned smoking in indoor public spaces, I have to rely on aviator shades and a 32-bar bass solo to pull the chicks.
