Smoking and Liberty for All: Pro-Smoking Quotes
Smoking and Liberty for All: Pro-Smoking Quotes
It seems everywhere you turn today there is an attack on our liberty to smoke. Even the fools in Hollywood have jumped into the game. Talk about a blow to artistic integrity. The hypocrisy of it all doesn’t sit well with me. Everyone seems to ignore the Social, Psychological, and Aesthetic benefits to smoking. I am convinced that anyone that is anti-smoking has never sat in a booth of a top shelf restaurant drinking Vino and smoking cigarettes with a Parisian Model Girl. Look into it. You will be pro-smoking too.
If I look back on my young life, my finest moments have consisted of a Custom Italian suit, a full-bodied red, a key to a penthouse suite in my pocket, a bankroll thick like Beyonce and Vida Guerra, a booth in a Michelin starred restaurant, a beautiful girl looking at me, hypnotized and a lit cigarette dangling from my mouth. Moments like those, are to me, what Life is all about (and of course what happens succeeding). The rest is just bullshit.
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Benjamin Franklin
“There’s something luxurious about having a girl light your cigarette. In fact, I got married once on account of that.” ~Harold Robbins
“My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.” – Winston Churchill (Considered by many to be “The Greatest Man of the Twentieth Century”)
Monica Bellucci smoking
“A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one want?” ~Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
Is it true that you smoke eight to ten cigars a day?
That’s true.
Is it true that you drink five martinis a day?
That’s true.
Is it true that you still surround yourself with beautiful young women?
That’s true.
What does your doctor say about all of this?
My doctor is dead.
– George Burns
“There’s nothing like tobacco; it is the passion of all decent men-a man who lives without tobacco does not deserve to live.”
Moliere
“The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.” – Thomas Jefferson
“The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.” – H.L. Mencken
Fly Model smokes
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws.”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
“I don’t know. Everything. Living. Smoking” – John Paul Sartre (answering the question “What is the most important thing in your life?”)
“When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’
– Adolf Hitler (The king of anti-smoking campaigns, about as bad as our current government)
“If alcohol is queen, then tobacco is her consort. It’s a fond companion for all occasions, a loyal friend through fair weather and foul. People smoke to celebrate a happy moment, or to hide a bitter regret. Whether you’re alone or with friends, it’s a joy for all the senses. What lovelier sight is there than that double row of white cigarettes, lined up like soldiers on parade and wrapped in silver paper? I love to touch the pack in my pocket, open it, savor the feel of the cigarette between my fingers, the paper on my lips, the taste of tobacco on my tongue. I love to watch the flame spurt up, love to watch it come closer and closer, filling me with its warmth.” luis bunuel
Model Smoking
Good food, good sex, good digestion, good sleep: to these basic animal pleasures, man has added nothing but the good cigarette. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s Notebook, 1966
I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker…. but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table. ~Michelle Pfeiffer
“Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe
When tipp’d with amber, mellow, rich, and ripe;
Like other charmers, wooing the caress
More dazzlingly when daring in full dress;
Yet thy true lovers more admire by far
Thy naked beauties—give me a cigar!”
Lord Byron The Island . Canto ii. Stanza 19.
Penelope Cruz smoking
‘FUCK off.’ Kate Moss responds to an attendant who asked her to extinguish her cigarette at the Mario Testino exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery,

‘I’VE BEEN doing some sums following the recent medical assertion that every fag you smoke costs you eleven minutes of your life. Let’s take somebody who is aged 100 and has smoked a modest ten a day since the age of 15. That’s 310,250 cigarettes or a total of 3,412,750 minutes of lost time. In more understandable terms, that means this person would have lived an extra six and a half years if he-she hadn’t ever smoked. My question is: would that be much of a bonus?’ Columnist James Whitaker, The Mirror, January 2000
‘OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don’t suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?’ Artist David Hockney, Daily Telegraph, July 1999
‘IF I CANNOT smoke in heaven, then I shall not go.’ Mark Twain (1835-1910)
After a truly good meal, an outstanding cigar is still the most satisfying after-dinner activity that doesn’t involve two human beings. ~ Brad Shaw
“If your wife doesn’t like the aroma of your cigar, change your wife.”
Zino Davidoff

El Miz,
American Spirits are pretty dope, one of my good friends smokes them.
As for me I was always a Marlboro Reds smoker. In recent years switched to Marlboro lights then Parliment ultra lights. But hell, I will smoke an occasional Kool or Newport even or even a Pall Mall unfiltered if the moment calls for it.

Nothin like the sweet aroma and robust flavor of a Gudang Garam Indonesian kretek. To this day, still each and every one of them traditionally hand rolled by women for our smoking pleasure.
From their website: “…for men having a tough personality, modern style and good appreciation of the real art of smoking.”
On another note, there lies a vast difference in flavor between American tobacco and other tobacco’s from around the world; that wood-fire crisp of a Lucky Strike doesn’t have the same character outside of the US.
So when in France, for example, usually I’ll go for a more full-bodied Craven-A over an American import — which just doesn’t taste the same.

Thats so funny that you mentioned this. I was just talking about how the red wine and cigarette buzz is the best buzz possible. Even better than Blue Magic Heroin…hahahaha

In the 33139, I prefer Players filters. A great Canadian smoke. Very smooth and high impact. I smoke for the nicotine and the looking good part is just an accessory. The way Canadian smokes are boxed is instand cred when swooping. When she smoke one you’ll have to stay close because the high nicotine will make her dizzy, so warn her first. When in the EU, I go back to an old favorite, JPS . The brand of victory worn by Mario and Senna.

Tafari,
I have never had the Gudang Garam Indonesian kretek but sounds real good. I really like that “each and every one of them traditionally hand rolled by women for our smoking pleasure”
Interesting point that you brought up with the different flavor of tobacco in different countries. Mexican marlboros are way harsher than US marlboros for example.
In france I like Gauloises. The first time i smoked them when I was 18. I was on the beach in biarittz spitting game to topless french girls. I have loved them ever since.

2nd Story West Ave,
I like Players filters also, I think i still have a pack lying around somewhere from my last trip to toronto. I was also buying alot of black market marlboros when i was there.
“When she smoke one you’ll have to stay close because the high nicotine will make her dizzy, so warn her first.” – great tip, It is important to always be a good “cornerman”.
I also like to smoke Dunhills in the UK. Real smooth smoke.

dunhills are good when you are swooping down under as well, most of the ‘fit birds’ in sydney and melbourne only smoke dunhills.

EL MIZ,
I agree. Pretty much all the “fit birds” smoke in Melbourne and Sydney. I need to find my way back there soon.

I was in spain last year and all the fly girls were smoking Fortuna cigarettes. So what did I do? Smoked fortunas of course!

I like Marlboro.

I would smoke my fingers if that’s all there was around.

Everyone have it’s own thinking regarding smoking.

I quit smoking as a matter of habit, but still could be pursuaded to have a Dunhill or Benson & Hedges menthol, or a good cigar. For cigars the stronger the better and torpedo

I recently received a carton of cigarettes from Thailand called “Double Happiness”.
