Just curious if anyone knows. I smoke Raison Blacks and they are pretty weak!

It's gotta be one of those slim Esse cigarettes. I couldn't believe it when I came to Korea and saw men smoking slims.

What about those ones that look like they are in candy boxes?

I can't stand the slims, as a part-time smoker even, as I wonder what the hell I am sucking on this thing for in the first place.

Any Korean slim is absolutely useless. In terms of a normal sized cigarette, probably something Raison makes. Those don't even do it for me as a chain-smoking club cigarette.

It's good to know that they are weak. My father died of lung cancer at the age of 63 in 2005 and it makes me sick to see cigarettes marketed as slim and glamourous. They are called cancer sticks and coffin nails for a reason.

The One 0.1's

I'm not a smoker, but my gf has some called 'Glam', or something along those lines. They're ridiculously weak. .05, or somewhere around there. You'll smoke more often, but there's significant less stench.

I never got that mentality.

I'll buy lights because they aren't as bad for me.

Then, oh no I smoke too many lights. I'll smoke ultralights because they aren't as bad for me.

Then you end up smoking a pack and a half of ultralights every day.

My ex did that and I never did figure that one out...

The Esse slims are as strong as any other cig.

They just feel a bit funny at first.

They are half the size of a normal cig though so once you get used to them, you end up only needing one at a time and thus end up smoking less tobbaco essentially.

The One makes a cigarette that is 0.1mg

I smoke the same number of slims as I do normal cigs.

If you're out at the bar follow this advice-
Just don't smoke the whole cig. Take a few puffs to take the edge off and then snuff it out. Cigs here are cheap enough. Just budget a pack for the night.

Never ever smoke a cigarette all the way down just because you feel you have to get your money's worth. That's akin to eating all the food on your plate just because you paid for it even though you're full.

Ideally get those water vapor nicotine based electronic cigs. Way less tar and way more polite to those around you. No odor and no smoke. Just puff when you feel like it and put it back in your pocket. Feels the same.
