What's your favourite cigarette brand?

The elusive whole cigarette, abandoned somehow to the ground.

Cigs are gay. I only smoke grape flavored cigars when drinking. Other than that never smoke. Waste of health and money.

Since when have cigarettes had a sexuality attached to them?!

Mind you, analogue cigarettes have for many decades been commonly called as 'fags' in the UK.

U.K. people still often use the informal term of 'fag' for a cigarette when they say, 'I need a fag.' 'Do you have a spare fag?' 'I'm going outside to smoke a fag.' 'Use an ashtray please for your fag ash.'





(We also call popular and delicious meatballs cooked at home and served in UK cafes, pubs, and restaurants, as faggots. This term was historically used long before the word meaning was later changed in the U.S. to mean a gay man.) Faggots are delicious btw.



A faggot also means a branch or twig, or a bundle of these which are used when making a fire and smoke.... so maybe that's where the UK term of a fag for a cigarette stems from... as ciggies are shaped like sticks and are lit-up to produce smoke.

(People here also commonly call cigarettes as 'ciggies', 'cig/s' and 'cancer sticks'.... and 'coffin (coughing) nails' is another popular term used here for cigs. Vapers who use electric cigarettes call old-fashioned cigarettes as 'analogue cigarettes' or just 'analogues' - or 'analog' spelling in the U.S.)

Fag:

​1. [countable] (British English, informal) = cigarette

​2. (also faggot) [countable] (North American English, taboo, slang) an offensive word for a male homosexual

For me, a faggot will always be a bundle of sticks.

People just look gayer smoking them than they do cigars. Like that scene where Arnold is carrying a big machine gun and smoking a cigar wouldn’t have been as bad ass if he was smoking a cig.

Vaping is more dangerous than smoking, by a mile

People who vape look like complete retards

That being said, I like to smoke 2-3 cigs per day, always in open air and with a drink

Rothmans or Capri

My maternal grandfather smoked all his life, 5-10 cigs a day by the end of it and lived to 90 years old.

Perhaps the etymology of Fag is another. I've seen in the dictionary the expression "the fag end of" = residual, remains, ending part, sediment.

In Sardinian language we have a nearly identical word derived from Latin, and with identical meaning.

Sardinian : Feche (pronounce Feke) or Feghe (the G is guttural like in Game) = residual, remains, ending part, sediment.
Latin : Fecem (accusative of Fex = residual, remains, ending part, sediment), with Classical pronunciation must be pronounced "Fekem" hence the Sardinian -> Feke -> Feghe

It's the same etymology of the English "Feces" = excrement, solid waste

If we look at the meaning of "excrement, solid waste" it's a clear synonymous of "residual, remains"

This, for sure.

[MustafaTekin]

I prefer cigars. if i don't get the chance or have time to smoke a cigar, i smoke camel or marlboro.

My brand is Stanwell. And here is my pipe:



And my poison (depending on the season):

[Rumata]

Tobacco poisons and weakens the organism in so fucking many ways... the consequences are inevitable and not fun at all.
