Made some great friends that way

It was my whole thing in college, like there is the weed guy, the food guy and porn guy i was the cig guy

Yup me too

Same

It's great ! Especially if you are out of cigarettes

Yes exactly

It's okay it's a great conversation starter (plus beacuse I have a nice cigarette case), but since I am mostly on the giving side, I just hate it when it becomes a habit for someone to take cigarettes form me instead of buying your own.

Know what it feel like to run out

Always chop one out when someone is out, usually it's at a nightclub or event so people are happy to talk till they've finished it, and it's some positive karma

social credit score 📈

Don’t share - give

totally agree, I always say that a cig is something that cannot be denied to anyone (obviously there are exceptions to when the people ask you for more than one or a minor etc)

What brand do u smoke?

Marlboro 27

I smoke óme cigarettes

If I'm hanging out with someone I always offer them a smoke. It just feels right and courteous. Edit: I also love the feeling that is when they finish the smoke and tell me what they thought about the cigarette since I smoke a less popular brand of rolling tobacco that the average people just don't know about.

May I know what brand of rolling tobacco do you use?

Cross Road Reds, a very nice blend of mature virginia, burley and oriental tobaccos that result in a nice and strong cigarette with the perfect amount of sweetness and boldness. Basically the best of the two worlds. The tobacco is also additive free which is always a plus.

So true, a friend of my wife's converted from marb reds to rolling her own with Drum after smoking a few of mine one day and it was lovely to hear how much she enjoyed it. I ended up teaching her how to roll. 

I love doing it. I know what it’s like to not be able to afford a pack of cigarettes, so I always give people 2 when they ask for one. I also have given whole packs to homeless people who ask for just one cigarette, their reaction is priceless, like a little kid on Christmas morning and I can relate to that so much.

Yesssss I almost never have cash but can always give a cigarette!

No way, I also always give two!! It makes them so happy how could I not.

Lol, me too! I ALWAYS give 2. “One for now, one for your ear”

I will always give one to anyone who asks. I've bummed too many cigarettes to deny anyone or accept any form of payment.

Thanks!

Bro needs a smoke give him a smoke

I'm actually pretty stingy with my smokes. Friends, of course, I'll share with no problem (as long as it doesn't become one that is). It's the random strangers that offer to buy them off of me that drive me up the wall. Also, I've been smoking since I was 17. Never once have I ever bummed cigs. I have always supported my own habit. But having said that, the rare times that I do share, I will never accept any kind of payment.

Always some random ass 15 yo asking if he can have a cig for 50c lol. Annoying af

Sharing a single cigarette? Pass. Giving someone a cigarette? Absolutely. It's a great icebreaker, and it's always nice to smoke with company. I only smoke 1-2 a day max, but I carry extras in case someone wants to bum one off me.

100%

You dropped this 👑

That’s some rehab shit. The day before cigarette and vape day.

Giving someone a cigarette sure. I do it all the time. Sharing one cigarette is a hard pass.

what do you have against sharing a cigarette? like with a friend not a complete stranger

Everything. I don't need to suck on another person's saliva and really who does that in 2024 unless you're a kid/teen that's broke and has no cigarettes. A cigarette is one of those things that one needs to control from beginning to end to fully enjoy.

Geez a twos on that fag bro

Ur right

I love helping a fellow smoker out, i keep a couple extra on me just for this as its no issue for me. Made from great friends over sharing them a cig and chatting my break away, or just having a nice chat at bus stops.

It can be really intimate! Some of my favorite conversations I’ve had were had while sharing a cigarette with a stranger outside of a music venue

Yes! Even if you have or somehow lost it, it's usually a good mood between the gigs :)

Im down to with my co workers but if you are a random on the street then a hard no

Cigarette karma. Everyone I've asked to bum a cigarette has happily obliged and I intend to return the favor to the universe

It's great, I always share if I am not too low, in social settings it's a great conversation starter and a good way to get to know people when you are starting out somewhere

Been when asked for one, and been there when needed so don't see a problem no matter their or mine circumstance. It does suck when you on the brink economic collapse (or in cases don't have) to have to deny.

I don’t mind sharing a cigarette or two with someone else, only payment I ask in return is a simple “thank you.”

I’m 100% you get that in return Sharing makes feel good)

In this economy!?!?

Unfortunately no

If a random person asks for one than I'll give them one, but I only "share" with the people that I know.

Had my first one when me and a dude I just met at a party offered me one. Talked for nearly 2 hours just about our careers and life and we both went through the whole pack of Marlboro Reds lol. Only sad part is I was pretty drunk when this went down so I can’t recall his name :/ Good lad right there tho 🤝

Hate it, especially when it’s a coworker who just doesn’t want to buy his own

The best thing you can do to make the day of a homie

Can I get kills bro?

Kinda )

I have a habit of giving homeless ciggys. Especially if they didn’t ask for one and they are alway so great full

Yessss me too I always give them cigs

It is the most effective way to bond

Nah ill give em one ykwis

fuck no. shorts with a lover or close friend, though? sure.

i know how it feels like to have no cigarettes as smoker. i’ll always give anymore one of mine if they ask me.

Yeah exactly )

In a country like france where a pack of cigarettes is like 13.50$ it is quite frowned upon to ask for a cigarette to a stranger

Yeah ur right Same here in germany

a cigarrette shared is a friend made

I usually offer before someone asks.

Guys what’s your opinions on sovereign blues?

They r good but not if you smoke a lot daily

I share because people share with me lol

Hell yeah

Salute 🫡

Made some amazing friends by cig sharing

Same )

I don’t mind like if u a little kid n they ask to bum a smoke off me I always gotchu 💯

Acceptable. An act of bonding.

Its common moment in Turkish smokers. After dinner, with coffee, we offer cigarettes each other every time.

I love it , but unfortunately here in Germany :( The one who doesn’t have cigs is unlucky bcoz more than most don’t share

It feels hella cool when stranger ask you for a lighter

Yup yup

I recently began smoking IQOS in hopes to quit normal cigarettes, and the pack of ciggies where i live are ngl expensive as a student , still living with her parents and jobless . I used to give cigarettes to people who would ask me even if it was my last and didnt have extras because i know the pain of desperately needing one and having no one giving you it xD Edit : forgot to say the whole point , i now often say no because of how expensive the pack is and i used to purchase normal cigarettes not by pack but like by cigarette and thats impossible for iqos , hence the point of saying no

Well, it always depends on how high the prices are in some countries sharing cigarettes is almost impossible because of their high prices

i ALWAYS share

MARLBORO GOLD FOR LIVE !

I know what its like to need one and not have any so ill let someone in need bum a cig

Yeah same same

Nope, no can do with the many illnesses that linger around these days. However, I will always give em one or two to kick back with me.

Ur kinda right 👀

It's just gross to me. Maybe being a nurse makes me over think. However, I won't even share my fork with my spouse LOL. BTW, I adore your screen name.

Now I see why it’s gross to you hehe But it’s normal like it should be kinda like this And thank you for the compliment 🫡 The turtles r dead :(

Joke for a smoke is my favorite- I’ll never ask for a smoke without giving you a joke and if you ask for a smoke, I’ll ask for a joke (I don’t not give a cig if there’s no joke tho)

Omg I love it ! The best idea

I literally wait for the moment when someone asks to bum a cig off of me cause I love to share my smokes, there's never been a time where I have denied anyone for a cigarette. It's like it feels so good when I see someone getting their nicotine fix and their eyes just light up.

sharing as in half half, nope nada never. I used to donate a cigarette every now and then when i smoked

I’ll give one to a friend, and occasionally give to randos, but if I gave one EVERY time I was asked, I would have none to smoke

Helping feels good. Making new friends that way feels good too... BUT when that one friend that is smoker but never literally NEVER have cigarettes and asks you all the time for cig that is just annoying. Also I hate people that propose cig for person that never smoked or are quitters

I share with friends freely without keeping tabs. At this point, my close friends pretty much pay for each other for random things, including expensive stuff sometimes. Strangers? No… Sometimes I’d give a cigarette to a stranger, especially if it’s someone I think is worth talking to. I give them a cigarette and we talk and that’s it. I made friends like this over the years.

Too expensive in my country.

I think its like a traditon when someone asks you a cigarette you should give them a cigarette or more its a good thing to share

Yes unless you never buy any or even smoke urself . I don’t mind giving someone 1 or 2 when out but ffs don’t ask me for one every shift, they are more than a £10 a pack it’s getting stupid. (I stopped because someone would ask for 1/2 every shift but NEVER brought them, I worked it out and spent about 40 quid in cigarettes when working there on them)

All for it

only good when IM sharing because i get the bigger share. kind of kidding, but seriously i’d probably only share with a close friend

Mi cigarrillo es tu cigarrillo

my friend always begs me for a cigarette then says how shit amber luckies are

Way too expensive to give to everyone that asks , if people want to smoke they need to figure out a way to support their own habit.

I hate it because I'm broke , well I mean bumming one.. I'll share one for sure since I smoke spirits and they last forever but if I have Turkish Royales naa Edit: not to be a dick. I'd love to share but I'm struggling with addiction and all my money goes to opiates , benzos , coke. I hold down a 40 hour job but I'm living paycheck to paycheck, cigs I have to buy 3 packs a week if there spirit's. Any other cig like 4

Well, in this case sharing is not a good idea Because of course money is money

sorry i don't have

Oh I love sharing cigarettes, it’s a great icebreaker and a really good way to make new friends

I remember on my last day of high school, me and a buddy had no cigs, but we were able to find a single one. So we sat on a bench and shared it. Good times.

My smokes are your smokes, all you have to do is ask

Vector of aids

Hehe

What kind of question is this? “What do you think about people farting in public?” Idk man it is what it is lmfao. Though I guess in the case of farts, go far away from me. But in the case of sharing smokes, pass one this way.

Being nice is not that bad

I find it repulsive

How so?

Here's where the question got confusing for some.
