bigpoppanils Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 from the Village VoiceLow Tar, High BeetlesScuttle Butt The following Philip Morris memo, dug up by the American Lung Association of Colorado and Tobacco Documents Online (www.tobaccodocuments.org), recently appeared on www.thememoryhole.com: "Nine open Cambridge packs were examined to identify the insects causing the infestation. Live cigarette beetle adults were observed crawling throughout the sample bag, the open carton, and the individual packs of cigarettes. Copious amounts of cigarette beetles frass [i.e., debris and excrement] were found throughout each pack, the carton, and the sample bag. Extensive damage caused by cigarette beetle exploration and chewing was found in at least 80 percent of the cigarettes in any pack. Examination of the individual packs revealed 1-3 mm holes in the overwrap on and around the tax stamp on each pack. These holes, which were caused by the application of the tax stamp using heat, probably allowed entry of cigarette beetle adults into the packs. The presence of these holes indicates that the infestation occurred during distribution." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooklynkid Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 With rat poison and all the other shit that's in cigarettes, do you think the average smoker cares about a few bugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdeelite Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 That is really gross.Bugs get into everything it is so annoying.They do the same shit to cereal if given enough time, that's why I don't really eat cereal anymore (I encountered some in my life time) and now I'm too weirded out to go back.Maybe I should do the same for cigarettes...ya think?

crosspatrick Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 I think bugs are the least of any smokers concern {me been one of them} because it always seems to be something, and yet theres still nothing better after a nice dinner or that cup of coffee at 10.30 in the morning,it's all the other ones i smoke i hate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximman Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 I just got on the patch like a week ago and I have to admit... it works great. Everyone's talking about how expensive they are but with the price of cigarettes as they are now it's a good deal. Actually, you can get a 2 week supply of Nicoderm for like $35 compared to anywhere between $70 to over $100 for a 2 week supply of smokes, so do the math.

I went the cheap way a while back and bought the CVS brand with the CVS card and I always got the buy 1 get 1 free... They are just as good...Nicotene is Nicotene... But they are bigger and look pretty hidious... So being it is winter you cant see it anyway... Make sure you follow the steps as shown... Dont think your a hero and step down too fast... Good Luck...Peace...Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
