A pack of 20 cigarettes for R5 in South Africa

A pack of 20 cigarettes for R5 in South Africa

A pack of 20 illicit cigarettes sells for as little as R5 in South Africa. This is R32 cheaper than the most affordable legal pack of cigarettes.

My nearest Sasol garage sells my Kent Menthol for around R80 a packet. They straight up ask wtf ever they want for shiit in that shop. Take it or leave it. They feel fokolll

So I buy cartons from Checkers or Spar for around R670

I'm a non-smoker.

I know two chain smokers. They both sound like they are dying when they smoke cheap stuff. One of them even moans when they smoke the cheap stuff because of how it messes them up.

I myself can smell the difference and the secondhand smoke from the cheap stuff affects me more when I have the misfortune of being around them while they smoke.

I'm so glad smoking never appealed to me. Absolutely imbecilic way to kill yourself, and a complete waste of money.

I can relate..
The cheap stuff smells like old newspaper being burnt in the grass along with plastic Coke bottles.
The better quality fags smell bad, but not nearly as bad.

Now

Where can I find R50 bottles of Rum and Brandy?

Real or otherwise coloured/flavoured and still 40%+ proof ?

My father never smoked but still died at 64. Uncle smoked a pack a day for decades and still alive at 70.

The hypocrisy, self righteousness and downright arrogance of most non smokers/ex smokers is more toxic than the smoke.

If it tastes good I'm game

One of my buddies goes to Moz every now and then and returns with these 500ml bottles of some local Rum, its the equivalent of R30, very sweet and light tasting, but still 40%, good stuff.

*HINT* Plastic bottle, 200ml, 43% proof - tastes like Vodka ( although i'm sure it isn't but does the same trick ) - Price R43
Fill in the missing char's : Spar T*ps

N.B Be careful PnP Liquor stores sell a "Whiskey" and "Brandy" lookalike also in 200ml but it's vile, and R50.

Ag shame.

Ag shame.

Yar hes probably angry that he lost his sense of smell and taste due to beating his lungs to a pulp with R5 packets of kaktwak.

200ml Bottles are for alcoholics that need their fix before they die of withdrawal.

That rubbish gave me lung disease during COVID

Nah, you did that all by yourself

 

[gogga_]

Nah, you did that all by yourself

No.

Proper tobacco that long standing cigarette manufacturers use that pay taxes and levies is really nice to smoke and doesn't contain weeds, cow dung and god knows what else in it's lethal mix.....

If you're hooked on smoking (me from 17 years onwards)......you can't just ****ing stop overnight.

This other cheap **** could have anything in it. That Zuma bitch and her thieving POS pals effectively knew this and made their poison cigarettes available to desperados like me at exorbitant prices.....

And so I smoked the **** they made available. And ended up getting TB again after being free from it for 15 years.

I have no words left to describe how I feel about anything Zuma.

I'm a little baffled by all this.

Smoking has been vilified globally and specifically in South Africa (when you zoll...).

But now if you do smoke, please only smoke the good stuff, because it the right thing to do! So if you quit, they don't get their revenue either, is that now illegal quitting? If I develop a habit of smoking compost from my garden, will I get into trouble because instead I should have gone to the cafe down the road and bought some proper stuff instead?

It was ''vilified'' in South Africa for one reason:

There was nothing altruistic about banning smoking during the lockdowns.
