l have the feel to comment abt sumtinz to this thread.

Sumtimes when l buy the ciggies from them, the smell really dun taste right, taste weird and crappy.

last time, still not so bad. the smell and taste still okie. but now, is see heng suay one, sumtime l buy tio those that have a distorted and weird taste.

seriously nowadays l dun feel like buying from them

Now as for marlboro brands, they charging us 1 pack $6

l go add a few more $$, l can buy 1 pack of singapore ciggy le, can smoke freely and openly summore.

buy from them, risk of getting funny ciggies and have to hide here and there during smoking.

what so difficult? rather pay abit more and buy Sg cigs la.. Why you want buy fake ones later part in life pay hospital fees? Don't know what shit they put inside.

Smoking is already bad enough. Smoking contraband is much worse. You really dun know what they put together. Let me guess... some tobacco leaves which contains lots of pesticides, some grass (left over from the forest fires), wastepaper from our discarded junk mail and watever to make the cigarettes look real. The only good thing from smoking the fakes is that one will really get turnoff by cigarettes and maybe evetually quit. The downside is a visit to court and hospital.

Insect eggs, dead flies, mould, even human feces have turned up in contraband cigarettes and tobacco seized in B.C. in the past year. "You never know what you're smoking," notes Cpl. Norm Massie of the RCMP's Border Integrity Unit. "People think cigarettes are cigarettes are cigarettes. That's not true." Massie says RCMP labs testing counterfeit and smuggled cigarettes seized in 2006 also found some stuffed entirely with tobacco stems -- like "pieces of wood." Dr. John Blatherwick, Vancouver's chief medical officer, says buying street smokes is like buying street drugs: You never know what you're getting. "People think it's a great deal," he says. "The truth is, they're not getting a great deal. They're getting a lousy deal. "You don't know what's in them. "You could be taking all sort of things into your lungs. You're opening your body up to a whole bunch of things you have no control over."
