I have managed to be in good supply of cigarettes for the past month - thank goodness!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the money was from my &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;Adsense&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; earnings and some of the money even came from &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;earning some money online&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; by placing some ads.  I got a $15 check in the mail unexpectantly and I used that money, of course, to buy some more cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm in a pretty good mood  and I have been in a pretty good mood for the past month because of this.  I am a little bit bummed though because I didn't earn enough &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;Adsense money&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; last month to be able to get it by the end of this month so I will have to wait an additional month before I get my adsense check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I have been getting money from places that I didn't expect to plus I may have a new client soon so things are definitely looking up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a new year and my goal is the same and that is to make much, much more money!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm happy - at least for the next few days - LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/smoking/rauch12.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-1033701109055181204?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/1033701109055181204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=1033701109055181204' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1033701109055181204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1033701109055181204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2012/01/i-have-cigarettes-again-goody.html' title='I Have Cigarettes Again! - Goody!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-1705496184553949349</id><published>2011-12-17T13:49:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T14:00:25.177-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Misc'/><title type='text'>A Quote About Smoking</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size="+3" face="comic sans ms"&gt;I read so much about how &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;bad smoking is that I got scared&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; and gave up reading.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/smoking/rauch12.gif"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;quote&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DickGregory&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-1705496184553949349?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/1705496184553949349/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=1705496184553949349' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1705496184553949349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1705496184553949349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2011/12/quote-about-smoking.html' title='A Quote About Smoking'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-2715622339407540314</id><published>2011-10-05T19:39:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2011-10-05T19:42:56.719-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><title type='text'>Kools Were Actually On Sale Today!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W0VpoegdDDQ/Tozq4X3oF-I/AAAAAAAAAHI/joZzA_4tiJ8/s1600/kools.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 51px; height: 86px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W0VpoegdDDQ/Tozq4X3oF-I/AAAAAAAAAHI/joZzA_4tiJ8/s400/kools.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660157085898774498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I couldn't actually believe it but &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;Kools&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; were on sale today!

During that time I have been "off and on" as far as my cigarette supply has been concerned.  I'm currently out of cigarettes again but like I said my cigarette supply has been off and on for the past few months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually managed to find a $10 bill on my way home and I just chalk that up to the law of attraction at work!  I couldn't believe that I actually found $10!  And of course I used that money to buy cigarettes!  (I was actually able to buy 2 packs of cheaper cigarettes with that $10!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was a little bummed because I didn't make enough &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;google adsense money&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; during the last few months to get paid.  However I will get paid this month because my &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;adsense earnings&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; have rolled over enough for me to be able to get paid this month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad news is that I won't be seeing any of that adsense money until Monday - which I really should be grateful for because I just have to make it through the weekend and then on Monday I will be able to buy me some more cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-9118122090051810221?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/9118122090051810221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=9118122090051810221' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/9118122090051810221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/9118122090051810221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2011/06/out-of-cigarettes-again-im-kind-of.html' title='Out Of Cigarettes (again) - I&apos;m kind of bummed........'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-7199114343938644096</id><published>2011-04-18T18:30:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-18T18:36:01.111-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bumming Cigarettes'/><title type='text'>Here Is My Law Of Attraction Story For Today!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been going through agony over the past few days because I have been out of &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;cigarettes&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; but something recently happened!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I wasn't able to get a full pack of cigarettes I was able to "bum" one off of somebody so that at least gave me one cigarette for the day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;google adsense&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; won't be coming for at least a week and a half but at least then I will be able to buy me some cigarettes and have some for a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still hoping and praying for some cigarettes and hopefully I will be able to get some soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-7199114343938644096?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/7199114343938644096/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=7199114343938644096' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/7199114343938644096'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/7199114343938644096'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2011/04/here-is-my-law-of-attraction-story-for.html' title='Here Is My Law Of Attraction Story For Today!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-4507699923111451340</id><published>2011-04-01T17:25:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-01T17:32:19.499-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>I'm Currently OUT Of Cigarettes Again!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it's been some time since I have been here last!

I didn't make enough in February to be able to get paid last month and even though my "rolled over" &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;adsense earnings&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; will give me some &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;adsense money&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; later this month - until then I'm currently without cigarettes!  &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/mad/846.gif"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-4507699923111451340?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/4507699923111451340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=4507699923111451340' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4507699923111451340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4507699923111451340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2011/04/im-currently-out-of-cigarettes-again.html' title='I&apos;m Currently OUT Of Cigarettes Again!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-7688063393443386061</id><published>2010-12-23T13:48:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-12-23T13:58:28.288-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In The News'/><title type='text'>Smokers Banned From Adopting Children</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There Are Many Reasons to Ban Smokers From Adopting - Midlothian Council in the U.K. is just the latest entity to prohibit smokers from adopting or providing foster care for children, a step Portsmouth, Hants, in England and other jurisdictions took several years ago, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH).  &lt;b&gt;Anyone wanting to care for a child under the age of five will be required not to have smoked for at least six months, even if they only smoke outdoors.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is just the latest step in a growing movement to protect the most vulnerable and most defenseless victims of &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;tobacco&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; smoke pollution," says  Banzhaf, noting that there are many reasons supporting the prohibition on adoption by prospective parents who smoke, even if only outdoors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For similar reasons judges in more than half our states in the USA, and a few in foreign countries, have recognized that smoking around children can be not only dangerous but deadly, and have ruled that smoking around a child can be grounds for losing custody.  &lt;b&gt;In some situations, parents have been prohibited from smoking 24 or even 48 hours before a child is due to arrive in the home because of the lingering effects of tobacco smoke&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similarly, more than a dozen states have ruled -- or are in the process of issuing rules -- prohibiting smoking in the presence of foster children, &lt;b&gt;and several states and cities have banned smoking in cars when any children are present&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Smoking kills thousands of children every year (largely from respiratory infections), is also a major factor in SIDS, and causes millions of medical problems in kids each year ranging from asthmatic attacks (and new cases of asthma) to ear aches, so protecting young children from tobacco smoke is long overdue," says Banzhaf. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A growing number of people consider smoking around children to be the most prevalent and dangerous form of child abuse, so it is not surprising that an adoption agency would want to protect their wards to whom they owe both a legal (fiduciary) duty and a moral obligation." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a situation where a smoker seeking to adopt claims that he or she does not smoke in the home, there may be no way to independently confirm that, or to make sure that there are never any exceptions -- e.g., when the weather is very cold, when the smoker is too ill to go outdoors, etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it may not be unreasonable for the government or a social welfare agency to have a rule against permitting adoptions where a prospective parent smokes, and therefore is more likely than not addicted to nicotine. For similar reasons, a welfare agency might not wish to place a child with someone with a history of addiction to alcohol or illegal drugs, even if he promises to change his behavior as a condition of becoming an adoptive parent, suggests Prof. Banzhaf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise the health and perhaps the life of a child could be put at risk, especially since there is no way an agency could possibly monitor for -- much less prevent -- any smoking around a child by a new parent who is already a smoker. The same problem might also apply to anyone with a history of alcohol or drug addiction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, if a violation occurred once the child had been placed for adoption, or if the smoker simply decided to change his practice and begin smoking within the family home once the adoption became final, it might be very difficult as well as expensive for the social welfare agency to then remove the child from the home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If a natural father or mother of a child can lose custody by endangering its welfare by smoking in his presence, as several courts have ruled, it should not be surprising that smoking can be a barrier to an adoption; i.e., where -- unlike the situation with a natural child -- there is no biological connection between the adults and the child up for adoption, and no bond has yet been created," says Banzhaf. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are several other logical reason for preventing smokers from adopting young children, suggests ASH.  The first is that a child is much more likely to grow up to be a smoker, and to face the enormous health hazards this imposes, if one or both parents are also smokers, regardless of where they do their smoking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second. thirdhand tobacco smoke, what the New York Times called "the invisible yet toxic brew of gases and particles clinging to smokers' hair and clothing," has just been reported by researchers at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory to combine with a common indoor air pollutant to form very potent cancer causing substances. This, the researchers say, places children at serious risk, even if parents smoke only outside the home, because they carry the residues inside with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Lara Gundel, a co-author of this study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences warned: "Smoking outside is better than smoking indoors but nicotine residues will stick to a smoker's skin and clothing. Those residues follow &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;a smoker&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; back inside and get spread everywhere. The biggest risk is to young children. Dermal uptake of the nicotine through a child's skin is likely to occur when the smoker returns and if nitrous acid is in the air, which it usually is, then TSNAs [tobacco-specific nitrosamines] will be formed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, as another researcher has reported, thirdhand &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;tobacco smoke&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; is "much more toxic" than secondhand tobacco smoke because the aging of secondhand smoke absorbed on surfaces gives risk to new toxicants not present in fresh secondhand smoke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, a related study shows that the tobacco-residue chemicals in smokers' breath were by themselves sufficient to cause or aggravate respiratory illnesses -- including asthma, coughs, and colds -- among children in smokers' homes as compared with kids in homes with nonsmokers, even if the parents only smoked outside the home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is just no justification for unnecessarily exposing children to any level of toxic or cancer-causing chemicals, since there is no safe level of exposure to any human carcinogen like asbestos or secondhand smoke, argues ASH, echoing the U.S. Surgeon General's warnings that: "It hurts you, It doesn't take much. It doesn't take long. . . .There is no safe amount of secondhand tobacco smoke. Breathing even a little secondhand smoke can be dangerous."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The law protects us all against exposure to even minute amounts of substances known to cause cancer in humans like asbestos; shouldn't the same protections apply to carcinogens in both secondhand and thirdhand tobacco smoke, which kill many more people each year, suggests Banzhaf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;source&lt;br /&gt;ash.org&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-7688063393443386061?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/7688063393443386061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=7688063393443386061' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/7688063393443386061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/7688063393443386061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2010/12/smokers-banned-from-adopting-children.html' title='Smokers Banned From Adopting Children'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-3523955296673700443</id><published>2010-12-20T19:39:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-12-20T19:45:24.872-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In The News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Electronic Cigarettes'/><title type='text'>FDA Can't Regulate E-Cigarettes!</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size="+1"&gt;FDA Can't Regulate &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;E-Cigarettes&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt;, Judge Rules&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While CA, NJ, Others Crack Down&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A federal judge has reportedly just ruled that the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] does not have any authority to regulate e-cigarettes; a move which -- if it stands up on appeal -- will mean that the only protection the public might have lies with the states, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, whose organization petitioned the FDA to regulate e-cigarettes, and whose scheduled appearance on a national TV caused the agency to declare the product "illegal".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More and more governments are cracking down on e-cigarettes, with California and New Jersey the most recent states to weigh in, says public interest law professor John Banzhaf, who is leading the movement to use legal action against their new products which present many significant potential dangers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;California Attorney General Jerry Brown has just filed a major law suit against various businesses involved with e-cigarettes&lt;/b&gt;.  At about the same time, the Governor of New Jersey has signed legislation which bans the use of e-cigarettes in areas where smoking is prohibited, and also bans their sale to children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California's law suit follows the model set by Oregon which has prepared three legal actions on behalf of the state.  Two were settled, with the defendants agreeing not to sell e-cigarettes in Oregon, and one is still pending.  E-cigarette makers are facing a civil class action in California, and the Attorney General of Connecticut has vowed to also follow Oregon by bringing his own law suit.  Suffolk County, New York, has also banned the use of e-cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;E-cigarettes have already been banned in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, and Mexico, and restricted in Finland, Malaysia, and Singapore.&lt;/b&gt;  The Food and Drug Administration [FDA] has determined that e-cigarettes are a "misbrand[ed]" product, an "unapproved new drug" and "are illegal until they are cleared." The agency has blocked imports of the new product, which emit nicotine (a deadly addictive drug) and propylene glycol (which can cause respiratory problems)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In addition to nicotine and propylene glycol, the FDA has reported that it found in samples of e-cigarettes a variety of "toxic and carcinogenic chemicals"&lt;br /&gt;including diethylene glycol, "an ingredient used in antifreeze, [which] is toxic to humans"; "certain tobacco-specific nitrosamines which are human carcinogens"; and that "tobacco-specific impurities suspected of being harmful to humans - anabasine, myosmine, and β-nicotyrine - were detected in a majority of the samples tested."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;source&lt;br /&gt;Ash.org&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-3523955296673700443?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/3523955296673700443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=3523955296673700443' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/3523955296673700443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/3523955296673700443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2010/12/fda-cant-regulate-e-cigarettes.html' title='FDA Can&apos;t Regulate E-Cigarettes!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-1709786122818987790</id><published>2010-12-03T15:49:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-12-03T15:52:12.811-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Electronic Cigarettes'/><title type='text'>Electronic Cigarettes</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get a lot of comments about &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;electronic cigarettes&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; - mostly from people who attach a website address.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to repeat that I am not a fan of electronic cigarettes.

I had to go out and do some shopping and although it was very hot I was feeling good!  I had some cigarettes with me and since the day was so hot I decided not to rush things and I sat down to enjoy a smoke!  As I was sitting on the bench smoking my cigarette a woman came down and sat besides me.  I noticed that she was going to &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;smoke a cigarette&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; too &lt;font size="+1"&gt;but&lt;/font&gt; what I noticed about it was that she had some small cigarette butts that she was going to smoke.  I'm quite sure that she got those off the street.  (and it's kind of ironic that she had a lighter but not cigarettes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said I was having a good day so I decided to give her one of my cigarettes!  She thanked me and then went on her way!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess what I'm trying to say is that I was having a good day today - &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;cigarettes&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; and all and&lt;br /&gt;it felt good to be able to do a good deed for someone else!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also got me to wondering about the state of things today - as far as cigarettes are concerned.  It seems that there are those who have a much more worse cigarette habit than me and no matter how bad you think that things are bad for you there is always someone whose situation is much more worse!  (Too bad the government doesn't give out &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;government grants&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; for cigarettes!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm happy-go-lucky today and feeling good!  I can go back to work and since I &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;work from home&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; I take great comfort in taking a little cigarette break every now and then!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't get an &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;Adsense&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; payment this month because I didn't make enough money but I will be getting an &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;Adsense payment&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; next month because my &lt;!--google_ad_section_start--&gt;online earnings&lt;!--google_ad_section_end--&gt; roll over into the next month.

Even with the more popular cigarette brands it seems that the quality of the cigarette has gone down.  It's like they are making &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; more cheaply and using a lesser quality of ingredients - but they are still charging the same (or higher) price!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed this today when I was smoking my last few cheaper cigar brand of Smokin Joes.  Of course this means that my cigarette supply is almost down to nothing - translation - I am out of cigarettes again!  However my &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;Adsense&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; payment is about 10 days away - so at least that is something that I am &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;grateful&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; because that means that I will have cigarette money in less than 2 weeks.  But then again that means I have to suffer through the agony of not having any cigarettes any time soon!  Of course that makes me countdown my &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;adsense&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; days much more harder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see someone had left me a comment (again) about &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;electronic cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; but this is still an option that is not for me!  I much rather prefer the regular cigarettes than &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;finding out where to buy electronic cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a plain and normal cigarette smoker through and through - period!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/cool/096.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a side note I also seem to be running out of matches!  How ironic becuae I usually have a good supply of them around.  I buy &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;lighters&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; of course when I can afford them but usually I'll buy the &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;cheaper lighters&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; and they don't seem to last as long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, at least I know that when I buy more cigarettes they will at least give me some matches for free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So as of now I am out of cigarettes and waiting for my &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;Adsense money&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; to come through but its going to be about 10 days before I actually get it and its driving me crazy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really, really have to start &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;making more money&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-699243497821908719?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/699243497821908719/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=699243497821908719' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/699243497821908719'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/699243497821908719'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2010/02/is-it-my-imagination-or-has-quality-of.html' title='Is It My Imagination Or Has The Quality Of Cigarettes Gone Down?'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/S3iOVx7-l_I/AAAAAAAAAGE/aWKiq_fW7tw/s72-c/smokin+joes.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-8275320628375072889</id><published>2010-01-22T17:54:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-22T18:12:17.563-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>Well, I Am Out Of Cigarettes Again!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that's right I'm out of cigarettes again!  &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/sad/014.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You would think that I would be used to this but really I'm not!  As I came to write to this blog today I saw my blog post about &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;the law of attraction&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; and how it helped me to &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;manifest&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; some more cigarettes into my life!  So this is something that I'm going to have to work on again so that I can manifest some more cigarettes into my life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately I won't be receiving a payment from &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;Google Adsense&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; this month because I didn't make the $100 minimum needed to get paid.  That's alright though because I got a &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;high-paying keyword list&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; from &lt;a href="http://theadsenseconsultant.blogspot.com/?asmokersblog" target="_blank"&gt;The Adsense Consultant's Blog&lt;/a&gt; so that I can &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;increase the amount of money that I earn with the Google Adsense program&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone left a comment on my blog about &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;electronic cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; and how much they enjoyed them and they also provided a link to a website about &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;electronic cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;.  However I prefer the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;real&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; thing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a little while I was able to afford buying a few packs of my own favorite brand of cigarettes which is &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;Kools&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; and I just vowed to myself that I would buy my brand of cigarettes instead of settling for &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;cheap cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess the &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;law of attraction really worked&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; for me for a while as far as my cigarettes were concerned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For right now I'm without cigarettes and have been since last week!  Oh the agony!  Since there aren't any &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;free cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; that are around or on sale I'm just going to have to agonize on until I can get myself some more cigarettes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-8275320628375072889?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/8275320628375072889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=8275320628375072889' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8275320628375072889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8275320628375072889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2010/01/well-i-am-out-of-cigarettes-again.html' title='Well, I Am Out Of Cigarettes Again!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-760027171975542471</id><published>2009-12-17T21:07:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-17T21:20:01.615-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cheaper Brands'/><title type='text'>The Law Of Attraction Works Again!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my latest  &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;law of attraction&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; story concerning me, smoking and  &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember posting about how&lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;the law of attraction&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; has worked for me in the past when I tried to  “&lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;manifest&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; some more cigarettes into my life.  I have posted that it has worked but there have been times when I think that I have tried &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;too&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; hard to manifest them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time I managed to &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;manifest some money into my life&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;!  Here is how it happened:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;I wanted more money to come into my life&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt; so that I could buy some cigarettes.  Guess what happened?  Of course you know we are well into the Christmas season - well I was going grocery shopping and saw one one of my neighbors on the bus.  &lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="+1"&gt;She gave me $5 for Christmas&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;!  How about that!  It was almost like being able to buy &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;free cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;!  And to make the whole thing even more amazing he actually told me that I should use the money to &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;buy cigarettes“&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the $5 I was able to &lt;!– google_ad_section_start –&gt;buy cheaper cigarettes&lt;!– google_ad_section_end –&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was thinking so hard of manifesting more cigarettes into my life and this recent experience shows me that the law of attraction is at work and that it does work indeed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm currently out of cigarettes now but you know what I'm doing right?

I NEED Them!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well guess what?  That's right!  I am &lt;b&gt;out&lt;/b&gt; of cigarettes again! &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/sad/014.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent my last $6 on my favorite brand of cigarettes which also happens to be one of the most expensive brands of cigarettes - &lt;b&gt;Kools&lt;/b&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could have gotten a more cheaper brand of cigarette - thus being able to buy two packs instead of one but I just wasn't in the mood for cheap cigarettes!  I wanted my brand and I got it!  Even though it was just one pack!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know people buy more cheap cigarettes just so that they will be able to continue to smoke and I myself have bought cheaper brands of cigarettes just so that I would be able to have more than one pack at a time!  Cheap cigarettes are a good alternative when you don't have enough money to afford your own favorite brand of cigarettes.  And I also know that there are websites where you can buy cheap cigarettes online but I just don't have the nerve to try any of those sites yet - although I do know of a tactic that I could try to make it more safer - but I haven't done that yet.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the choice between buying cheap cigarettes and being able to buy my own favorite brand of cigarettes I chose to buy my favorite brand although they cost more that the cheaper cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes don't you wish that you could get some &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;free&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; cigarettes?  I mean I know that is kind of impossible but I did a little checking online and found out that there are over a million websites out there that have to do with free cigarettes!  Some of these sites offer free cigarettes, tax free cigarettes and even discount cigarettes.  But I'm still not ready to buy cigarettes online - at least not yet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My google adsense payment has come and gone!  My Adsense was smaller than the past few months but I'm grateful that I was able to afford &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;some&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; cheap cigarettes with my google adsense money!  My adsense payment for this month doesn't look too good!  (It also seems that a lot of google adsense publishers have been earning less money with the Google Adsense program lately - so at least I know that I am not the only one!)  I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying to keep up the faith - you know - never give up hope!  Being grateful for what I do have and trying not to focus on what I don't have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a very nice comment from someone when they saw that I blogged about the law of attraction and how I was trying to apply it to my own situation so that I could attract more cigarettes into my life.  They didn't berate me or make fun of me - in fact they said that they liked my since of humor and that the way to attract more cigarettes into my life was to think about having the cigarettes and how having them would make me feel.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course it doesn't hurt to earn more money on my part!  Which is what I am trying to do!  I know that there are people who have made millions of dollars online and I'm going to be one of them - this I vow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm working on attracting more cigarettes (and money) into my life!  I think the idea of free cigarettes would be cute but I don't think that there is going to be a government grant program for that!  Although I have seen advertisements for places that are doing some kind of study on smokers, smoking and their effects and they even offer compensation ($$$$$$) for some of these studies.  I hope &lt;b&gt;NOT&lt;/b&gt; to be doing that either!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here I am without cigarettes again hoping to attract more cigarettes into my life!  I'd even settle for the cheap cigarettes just to help keep me going!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-883286048527649914?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/883286048527649914/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=883286048527649914' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/883286048527649914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/883286048527649914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/12/cheap-cigarettes-i-need-them.html' title='Cheap Cigarettes!

I got my Adsense payment a few days ago and I am now happy to report that I have cigarettes again! &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/cool/653.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also found out that my regular "haunt" where I do go buy my cigarettes is going to continue to sell the cheaper little cigar brand called "Smokin Joes".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I went to buy my cigarettes I noticed that the store was still selling the "Smokin Joes" but there was a note attached saying that they had gone up in price.  So now they cost about $3 a pack but they still seem to be the cheapest cigarette alternative - unless you count buying individual cigars - they cost about $1 each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't buy any of them this time because I had had my mind set on buying &lt;b&gt;regular&lt;/b&gt; cigarettes because quite frankly I was getting tired of those little cigars.  But it's good to know that they are there "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;in case of emergencies&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm happy and grateful and I am in a good mood!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness for Adsense!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-4650495976339021890?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/4650495976339021890/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=4650495976339021890' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4650495976339021890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4650495976339021890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-have-cigarettes-again.html' title='I Have Cigarettes Again!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-6051517687261751175</id><published>2009-11-15T18:42:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T18:58:41.666-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cheaper Brands-Smoking Joes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cheaper Brands'/><title type='text'>Guess What?</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right!  I am &lt;b&gt;OUT&lt;/b&gt; of cigarettes again! &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/sad/014.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been trying to make the law of attraction work for me but I think that I am trying that too hard!  About 3 weeks ago I was able to manifest enough money to buy a few packs of cigarettes and I was trying to figure out how I did that so that I could manifest enough money to be able to do it again - but so far nothing!  Again, I think that I am trying to hard!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still have about 2 1/2 weeks before getting my Adsense money - and boy is that a long way off!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm trying to remain upbeat and positive about this but those withdrawl symptoms are a bummer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a related note it seems that the cigarettes - really they are actually called little cigars - that I used to get for a more cheaper price of about $3 a pack won't be available anymore.  The name of the brand was called "Smokin Joes" and the owner of the store where I got them from told me that the cigarette vendor had raised the price so he decided not to get them anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So although its going to be more expensive now I prefer cigarettes over those "little cigars" anyway!  So far it seems like the cheapest pack of cigarettes (I mean &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;real&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; cigarettes!) that I can find is a brand called "Maverick".  "Kools" are still my favorite brand and "Kools" &lt;b&gt;are&lt;/b&gt; my brand of choice though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-6051517687261751175?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/6051517687261751175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=6051517687261751175' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/6051517687261751175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/6051517687261751175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/11/guess-what.html' title='Guess What?'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-7655506615972853163</id><published>2009-11-12T19:03:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T03:20:21.091-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comments From Others'/><title type='text'>Electronic Cigarette?</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone wanted to know if I have ever tried an E-Cig - short for electronic cigarette - before?

However they were my cheapest brand of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;cigarettes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; that I could afford when I didn't have much money!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this isn't the first time that this has happened either!  There was a brand of cigarette that I could get for about $1.50 cents but the same thing happened when they raised the price to over $3.50!  &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/mad/boese017.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never did really like those little cigars but they were cheaper in price than the regular pack of cigarettes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now it looks as though I'm just going to have to stick to the cheapest brand of cigarettes - not little cigars - that I can find!

So I decide to let the thought go resigning myself to the fact that I would just have to wait until I got my Adsense money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then guess what happens?  I get an idea as to how I could get a couple of dollars (I thought) right away.  I won't tell you what the exact idea was but this is a very good example of the law of attraction at work!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The law of attractions says that what you think about and focus on you will get and since I was thinking of how I could get some more money for cigarettes an idea came to me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to put this plan in action even though I was having doubts about it working.  It actually worked!  However I think that since I was trying so hard to make it work that I made it more complicated than it should have been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This idea gave me enough money to buy a couple of packs of the cheaper brand of cigarettes - but I was grateful for that because being without the cigarettes was making me crazy and it looks as though the universe helped me out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am a few days away from getting my Adsense money so I'm working on making the law of attraction work for me again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-1706756411047979307?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/1706756411047979307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=1706756411047979307' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1706756411047979307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1706756411047979307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/10/law-of-attraction-works-again.html' title='The Law Of Attraction Works Again!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-5712708282798652644</id><published>2009-10-23T19:56:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T20:02:52.327-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Experiences and Musings And Observations'/><title type='text'>A Recent Comment......</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone left a comment about this blog and there are some things that I want to point out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whoever it was that left the comment about how "&lt;i&gt;I don't make a lot of Adsense money&lt;/i&gt;" - I would like to say &lt;b&gt;How do you know how much Adsense money I make!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would I rather spend the money on something else other than cigarettes? &lt;font size="+2"&gt;NO!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I ashamed about asking for donations to be able to have the money to buy cigarettes? &lt;font size="+2"&gt;NO!&lt;/font&gt;  The fact that I have received a donation of $10 about a year ago just shows that people are willing to donate (of which I am very grateful).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The person that sent me this comment I am quite sure is definitely not a smoker because if they were they would not have left the kind of comment(s) that they did!

There have been some helpful tips and advice given about how to quit smoking and I'm sure that they will be of help to those that really want to quit smoking - but again - I am not one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am smoking a cigarette - although it is a cheaper brand - right now as I type this blog post so that means that I do have some cigarettes now but I don't have many and will be running out of them in a day or two.  This does not deter me from not smoking when my cigarettes run out.  It just means that when I get enough money I will be buying &lt;b&gt;more&lt;/b&gt; cigarettes as soon as I can!  My Adsense money won't be arriving for at least 2 weeks so I don't know where I will be able to get the money to buy any more - unless some kind soul donates enough money so that I can buy a carton of Kools - hint, hint!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;this&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; blog is about a smoker who does NOT want to quit smoking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-7788293846543234779?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/7788293846543234779/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=7788293846543234779' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/7788293846543234779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/7788293846543234779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-am-smoker-that-does-not-want-to-quit.html' title='I Am A Smoker That Does NOT Want To Quit!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-8587237663640294737</id><published>2009-08-23T14:42:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-23T14:57:07.643-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yes I Smoke'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Experiences and Musings And Observations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paying For Cigarettes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Please Donate To A Worthy Cause'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>This Being Without cigarettes Is Sheer Torture!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I posted a few times before about how the law of attraction worked for me when I wanted to have more cigarettes.  Now that I am out of them again I think that I am trying too hard to manifest more cigarettes for myself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did manage to eat breakfast but I think that being without cigarettes is giving me the case of the munchies because I must have had &lt;font size="+1"&gt;10&lt;/font&gt; pancakes this morning for breakfast!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have these little mint candies that I have been sucking on since Friday.  And I really must have gained about 5 pounds during this weekend and the weekend is not even over with yet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mood is so witchy with a capital &lt;font size="+3"&gt;B&lt;/font&gt;!  I'm angry, pissed offed and frustrated!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have about 2 cents in my bank account which is not enough to buy anything cigarette-related!  I have about 15 cents in my Paypal account - again its not enough to buy even the most cheapest pack of cigarettes!  &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/sad/014.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't received any donations lately - hint, hint?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the good and positive side my Adsense money should be coming sometime in the next few days - which unfortunately is not soon enough for me but should be something that I am very grateful for because I earned this Adsense money by working from home.  And as far as I can tell I should consider myself very lucky because it seems that a lot of people that use Adsense don't even make a lot of money doing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I'm kind of mad at the government too because first when I started smoking cigarettes were much more cheaper and the economy wasn't as bad.  Now that we smokers have become addicted to cigarettes the government now decides that smoking is not good for us and keeps trying to think of ways - most notably increasing the prices - to get us to stop smoking!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's not going to happen to me!  While it may be more expensive to smoke I am still going to continue to smoke even if I can't afford it - I will just have to wait until I can afford it - which will be when I get my next Adsense check which will be in the next few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until then I am in &lt;font size="+2"&gt;AGONY&lt;/font&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-8587237663640294737?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/8587237663640294737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=8587237663640294737' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8587237663640294737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8587237663640294737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/08/this-being-without-cigarettes-is-sheer.html' title='This Being Without cigarettes Is Sheer Torture!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-9005095827539958995</id><published>2009-08-21T20:37:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-21T20:45:32.598-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>I Am Out Of Cigarettes Again!</title><content type='html'>Yes I am out of cigarettes again!

I am anxiously awaiting my Adsense earnings but according to &lt;a href="http://theadsenseconsultant.blogspot.com/?smokersblog" target="_blank"&gt;The Adsense Consultant&lt;/a&gt;, the soonest I can expect my Adsense payment is sometime next week which means it is going to be torture to get through the weekend!  I am loathing it already!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked at my Paypal amount and its not enough to buy even the cheapest pack of cigarettes that I can find!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This being without cigarettes is making me feel so bad, angry, frustrated and very, very cranky!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm patiently trying to wait until I get my Adsense money but that is at least a few days away!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, the suffering!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seem to go through this kind of torture the same time every month - especially when I'm out of cigarettes but until I get the money to buy me some more cigarettes - I am definitely going to be in one foul mood!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-9005095827539958995?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/9005095827539958995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=9005095827539958995' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/9005095827539958995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/9005095827539958995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-am-out-of-cigarettes-again.html' title='I Am Out Of Cigarettes Again!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-2010061825997465187</id><published>2009-08-13T23:56:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-14T00:02:54.444-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Experiences and Musings And Observations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><title type='text'>You Never Know Where Money Will Come From!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have blogged a few times about how I try to use the law of attraction in getting me more cigarettes.  Well it &lt;font size="+2"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;worked&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt; for me today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my law of attraction story for today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was running out of cigarettes but I kept trying to keep a positive attitude about it.  I had enough cigarettes to last me for the rest of the day so I just decided to enjoy the moment and enjoy the day!  (Although I was secretly hoping for more cigarettes to last me at least through the weekend.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I go and do some grocery shopping at the supermarket and guess what happened?  There was a special coupon offer for $5 off of an item and I decided to buy it just for the coupon.  Well the transaction didn't work and the manager gave me $5!  How is &lt;b&gt;that&lt;/b&gt; for proof that the law of attraction works!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course I am going to use that $5 to buy me some cigarettes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-2010061825997465187?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/2010061825997465187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=2010061825997465187' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/2010061825997465187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/2010061825997465187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/08/you-never-know-where-money-will-come.html' title='You Never Know Where Money Will Come From!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-3774228643331574023</id><published>2009-08-07T00:34:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-07T00:51:25.389-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cheaper Brands-Smoking Joes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cheaper Brands'/><title type='text'>I'm Smoking A Cigarette Right Now!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SnuvpVtakeI/AAAAAAAAAFU/9LjWFhxTug0/s1600-h/smokin+joes.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 127px; height: 85px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SnuvpVtakeI/AAAAAAAAAFU/9LjWFhxTug0/s400/smokin+joes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367076505679204834" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I'm smoking a cheaper cigarette - I should say a cheaper brand of cigarette - it is &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;definitely&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; better than nothing at all!  I'm currently smoking a brand called "Smokin Joes" and while it doesn't say that they are cigarettes they are called "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;filtered cigars&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;".  They are also menthol 100's. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course they are not as good as my regular brand of choice which is Kools but I'm grateful and thankful for having these - instead of not having any at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SnuvY5ZYp4I/AAAAAAAAAFM/HiyveeR3PD4/s1600-h/hummer.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SnuvY5ZYp4I/AAAAAAAAAFM/HiyveeR3PD4/s400/hummer.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367076223201093506" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hummer cigarettes were my favorite &lt;i&gt;standby&lt;/i&gt; cigarettes (actually &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; are branded as little cigars too) because they were the cheapest that I could buy at around $1.60 cents a pack!  &lt;font size="+2"&gt;BUT&lt;/font&gt; the store that I used to buy them from are no longer selling them! &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/sad/014.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was another, cheaper brand of cigarette that I could buy at my local Rite Aid store at $1.05 (I forgot the name of the brand) but that price went up to $3 and some change!  So I don't even &lt;b&gt;think&lt;/b&gt; of buying that brand anymore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the positive side I took a look at my Adsense earnings today and I had a very good day as far as my Adsense earnings were concerned!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am in good spirits today!  I still have a few packs of cigarettes to last me for a while - which is very good news!  As a matter of fact I had to &lt;em&gt;deal&lt;/em&gt; with one of my bill creditors on the phone and having the cigarettes to smoke while I dealt with them worked in my favor because I got a great result from that phone call!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am in a very good mood today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-3774228643331574023?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/3774228643331574023/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=3774228643331574023' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/3774228643331574023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/3774228643331574023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/08/im-smoking-cigarette-right-now.html' title='I&apos;m Smoking A Cigarette Right Now!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SnuvpVtakeI/AAAAAAAAAFU/9LjWFhxTug0/s72-c/smokin+joes.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-8407090618465379575</id><published>2009-07-27T22:32:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T22:37:38.404-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><title type='text'>I Have Cigarettes Again!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the money I earned from Adsense I was able to buy some packs of cigarettes today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(If you would like to know more about Google's Adsense program just click &lt;a href="http://theadsenseconsultant.blogspot.com/?asmokersblog" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was just coming out of a long stretch without having cigarettes and it was really making me crazy!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's hear it for Google's Adsense program!

But those of you who are smokers know what I mean and know the feeling when it comes to being out of cigarettes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm trying to stay positive and keep positive thoughts!  I'm also working on making the law of attraction work for me like it has done before in the past.  I think that the reason that the law of attraction doesn't work for me sometimes is the fact that I try too hard - but nicotine withdrawl will do that to you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the positive side I have about a week before I get my earning from Adsense!  Oh how welcomed that will be and I will have enough money to buy at least a few packs of the cheaper cigarettes - I might even buy some more of the cigars that I have had a chance to try out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that when you want something so bad it makes it harder or it takes longer to get which is what I am thinking is happening in my case!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't get me wrong though.  I have high hopes of becoming a millionaire and being able to afford all the cigarettes (and cigars) that I want!  Who knows?  I may get a donation.  I may get a sale.....I remember one time some money coming to me in one of the most unusual ways which affirms my belief that you never know where money will come from!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying to hold on to positive thoughts - until I have cigarettes again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-4642684174546116161?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/4642684174546116161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=4642684174546116161' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4642684174546116161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4642684174546116161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/07/well-i-am-out-of-cigarettes-again.html' title='Well I Am OUT Of Cigarettes Again..................'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-5982136815509917609</id><published>2009-07-06T21:06:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-06T21:09:27.039-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Please Donate To A Worthy Cause'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>At Least I Had Some Cigarettes For The 4th Of July Weekend!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so grateful that I was able to have cigarettes over the July 4th weekend!

One interesting example is someone who used part of their bill money to pay for cigarettes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I shocked by this article?  Actually no I'm not!  What I'm shocked about is that there are at least other people out there who have at least &lt;b&gt;thought&lt;/b&gt; about using the money that they have to pay their bills - that they would actually think about using that money to pay for cigarettes - because I have at least thought about it myself!  I'm at least glad to see that there are others out there who have at least thought about it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of us who have experience with not being able to pay our bills in full each month know that sometimes one can get away with not paying a bill for one or two months before the "notices" begin!  If you are &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;really&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; considered being a low-incomed person then you may be able to get some financial help for your bills such as government grants or some other kind of financial program and the money that you have saved could then be used to pay for your cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even President Obama smokes and at least he's honest about it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm always surprised by the poll on the side of this blog where people have voted that they think that their cigarette habit is more worse than my own - I'm always shocked by that but at least I know that I am not alone!

I didn't know what but I just kept on hoping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turns out that I could buy a cigar for 85 cents!  So I bought it and decided to give it a try right away!  Actually it looked like a great big, fat marijuana joint but beggars can't be choosers!  So I lit it up as soon as I was outside and it did satisfy my nicotine craving.  However the cigar was so big that I couldn't finish it all at one time - which was a good thing because at least I would have some for later!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now I am a confirmed cigar smoker as well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cigar really wasn't that bad!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't tell you the specific brand of the cigar because I was so anxious to get it that I tore the wrapping off and threw it away.  However I'm pretty that this won't be the last time that I buy the cigar so I will post more about it specifically the next time I get it and save the label!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, did I mention?  I'm out of cigarettes again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adsense won't "kick in" until sometime during the middle of the week after next!

Plus I was smoking a cheaper brand called "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smokin Joes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;" because that was all that I could afford!  &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/sad/014.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This cheaper brand of cigarette - actually it isn't even a cigarette it is called filtered cigars - I used to get because it only cost like $1.60 &lt;b&gt;BUT&lt;/b&gt; the price increased to $2.00!  But it is still the most cheapest that I can find!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways like I was saying, I was worried so much about increasing my cigarette supply that I started thinking about how I could do that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remembered in the past about how the law of attraction worked for me as far as me having cigarettes was concerned so I was working on trying to manifest some more cigarettes into my life!  I was thinking about it long and hard - perhaps &lt;b&gt;too&lt;/b&gt; hard but I finally managed to get an idea!  It wasn't 100% foolproof but it did allow me to buy 2 more packs of the cheaper brand!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now I'm happily typing away (as you can plainly see) while happily smoking a cigarette - actually it's called cigar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-8416774444604736616?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/8416774444604736616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=8416774444604736616' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8416774444604736616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8416774444604736616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/05/law-of-attraction.html' title='The Law Of Attraction!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-11353090890124944</id><published>2009-05-07T12:36:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T12:44:41.306-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yes I Smoke'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bumming Cigarette Money'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Please Donate To A Worthy Cause'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Am A Smoker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bumming Cigarettes'/><title type='text'>I'm Running Out Of Cigarettes (Again!)</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that's right!  My current cigarette supply is running very, very low!  I'm trying not to get too angry about this though and I'm hoping to manifest some more cigarettes!  My ultimate dream would be able to purchase a whole &lt;font size="+1"&gt;carton&lt;/font&gt; of Kool 100's!  Hopefully some kind soul (maybe someone who is a smoker too) will donate to me so that I can go out right now and purchase some cigarettes for me to enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though my Adsense earnings help towards me being able to purchase cigarettes, I won't get another Adsense payment until the end of this month and that is like two weeks away!  But I thank God for my Adsense because having that income allows me to buy cigarettes for which I am &lt;font size="+2"&gt;very&lt;/font&gt; grateful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know if the hike in the cigarette prices is meant to discourage people from smoking but I'm not going to be one of them!  I enjoy smoking and it relaxes me and helps to ease and relax the stress that I have!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure any other smoker will tell you the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we will continue to smoke for as long as we can!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-11353090890124944?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/11353090890124944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=11353090890124944' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/11353090890124944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/11353090890124944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/05/im-running-out-of-cigarettes-again.html' title='I&apos;m Running Out Of Cigarettes (Again!)'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-2831039136501657600</id><published>2009-04-02T21:22:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-02T21:36:42.788-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='In The News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paying For Cigarettes'/><title type='text'>Yes, I Know That The Price Of Cigarettes Has Gone Up But.........</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SdVlfl4xpLI/AAAAAAAAAEk/ov3mXa0zBNI/s1600-h/Cigarette-tax.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 119px; height: 89px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SdVlfl4xpLI/AAAAAAAAAEk/ov3mXa0zBNI/s400/Cigarette-tax.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320270128228705458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorry to say that &lt;b&gt;that&lt;/b&gt; still hasn't deterred me from stopping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine my surprise when I heard on the news that the price of cigarettes would go up and go up a &lt;b&gt;LOT&lt;/b&gt;!  I was already shell-shocked from my last cigarette buying excursion when I found out that the price of cigarettes had gone up so much!  My favorite "second-choice" cigarettes had jumped from $3 to $4 and some change!  And of course my beloved Kool cigarettes now cost over $5!  And the price increase won't be just limited to cigarettes but to cigars and other smoking-related products as well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They interviewed some smokers on the news and the majority of them said that the price increase was enough to make them want to stop smoking.  One man said that he tries to buy the cheapest brands of cigarettes that he can find!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me?  Sorry folks but I'm still going to be a smoker!  I guess that this just means that I just have to make more money so that I can have cigarette money in my budget!  According to the poll that I have on the side of this blog there have been a few people that have voted and said that they think that their cigarette habit is even more worse than mine and I'm wondering how they feel about the cigarette price increase?  How do &lt;font size="+2"&gt;YOU&lt;/font&gt; feel about the cigarette price increase?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do &lt;font size="+4"&gt;I&lt;/font&gt; feel about the cigarette price increase?  Well being a smoker and smoking as much as I do, when I first heard the news about the big price increase my thought was oh well - have to have more money for cigarettes!  Not once did I think about quitting!  I mean when I am out of cigarettes the cravings are sometimes just too much to bear!  I get moody and cranky and am just not a good person to be around!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's probably due to the fact that the nicotine is so addictive and I don't like how I feel when I am out of cigarettes!  So I'll continue to buy them as much as I can!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it's more money that I have to make, increase my income - I don't think I'll get to the point where I'll cut something else out because my budget is already at its bare minimum!  Smoking is one of the few pleasures that I allow myself to have!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-2831039136501657600?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/2831039136501657600/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=2831039136501657600' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/2831039136501657600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/2831039136501657600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/04/yes-i-know-that-price-of-cigarettes-has.html' title='Yes, I Know That The Price Of Cigarettes Has Gone Up But.........'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SdVlfl4xpLI/AAAAAAAAAEk/ov3mXa0zBNI/s72-c/Cigarette-tax.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-6167627854872579907</id><published>2009-03-15T22:04:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-15T22:18:17.368-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yes I Smoke'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paying For Cigarettes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Please Donate To A Worthy Cause'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Am A Smoker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>I Wish I Was Smoking A Cigarette!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually I wish I was smoking a cigarette and had enough of them to last me the entire month until I get my Adsense money!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I was smoking one of my cigarettes right now! Where is &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;the law of attraction&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when I really &lt;font size="+3"&gt;NEED&lt;/font&gt; it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well enough of my blabbering!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can tell I am quite out of cigarettes!  My closest prospect for more money is my Adsense check but I don't expect that until next week - which is a blessing in and of itself because I can at least be grateful that I can expect it next week instead of some time way, way in the future!  (Unless some sweet soul decides to donate a couple of dollars to me! - &lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/happy/050.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course I am well aware that I have a lot of things to be grateful for!  I was watching on the news about people who have been evicted from their homes and that was not a pleasant thing to watch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can still be grateful for the fact that I am able to earn some money from working from home!  I was also able to get one of those government grants to help pay off some of my heating bill.  I also had quite a nice dinner of chicken and rice tonight - a dinner that I can be very grateful for!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's just that anyone who is a smoker knows smoking cigarettes helps relax you and gets rid of some (or in some cases - a lot of!) stress!  I also know that while smoking is addictive you feel like "heck" if you are not able to feed that addiction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorry but the lesson that I have learned here is not that I want to quit.  Tbe lesson that I have learned is that even though I am out of cigarettes now, as soon as I get some cash I'm going to buy me some more cigarettes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-6167627854872579907?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/6167627854872579907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=6167627854872579907' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/6167627854872579907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/6167627854872579907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-wish-i-was-smoking-cigarette.html' title='I Wish I Was Smoking A Cigarette!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-400440741502779698</id><published>2009-03-02T21:17:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-02T21:22:59.896-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cigarettes On Sale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kools'/><title type='text'>Kools - $3.99 A Pack!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SayTxfmptnI/AAAAAAAAAEc/Dehnycd4Cmg/s1600-h/kools2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 91px; height: 91px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SayTxfmptnI/AAAAAAAAAEc/Dehnycd4Cmg/s400/kools2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308780539269461618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Image my surprise when I went to my local store to find out that the Kools were on sale for $3.99!

In the meantime I am going so crazy!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have $5 in my bank account and that would just enough to buy a pack of Kools or buy 3 packs of a cheaper brand.  &lt;b&gt;However&lt;/b&gt; that $5 is there because of a check I wrote to one of my creditors and they haven't seemed to cash it yet!  Now am I thinking of spending that money and risk incurring &lt;font size="+2"&gt;HUGE&lt;/font&gt; banking fees?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is yes.  Yes I am thinking about it but no I haven't done anything about it yet!  It's almost like that $5 is there to &lt;strong&gt;test&lt;/strong&gt; me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did have a good experience with &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;the law of attraction&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a few days ago before the weekend.  I was thinking about how great it would be to have some cigarettes while I was working at my computer.  I think I actually pictured in my mind me actually being at the computer and smoking a cigarette.  Then it hit me that someone had told me that the Rite Aid store sold a brand of little cigars (hey beggers can't be choosers here!) for a dollar &lt;b&gt;and I had a dollar and some change in my bank account that I could actually spend!&lt;/b&gt;.  So I decided that the risk was worth taking and I went to the Rite to find if they did indeed have such a brand and they did!  A different brand of little cigar (that I will post about later) helped saved the day for me!  I walked out of that Rite Aid with my $1 little cigars and actually sat down and smoked one of them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That pack of little cigars lasted me 2 days which I am grateful for but unfortunately I'm back out of cigarettes again and it is driving me crazy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face="short hand heavy"&gt;Update!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say that while I waited for the last minute I did indeed spend that $5!  I wanted to wait until I got to a close enough time that my adsense check would kick in to cover that $5 but I did spend it on cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It turns out that the creditor didn't cash the check until &lt;b&gt;well&lt;/b&gt; after my adsense money kicked in!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I'm glad that I was able to do this I hope that I don't do it again because I don't want to risk those banking fees!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size="+2"&gt;&lt;center&gt;Comments Received&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello I am a smoker of 20 years.

Well lets just say that I was able to get some money into my Paypal account (it wasn't a donation) and it was just enough to be able for me to buy 2 packs of the cheaper brand of cigarettes - Hummers!  (I looked at the cost of a pack of Kools and they were &lt;strong&gt;$5.26!&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully having these 2 packs of cigarettes will last me until I get my next &lt;a href="http://theadsenseconsultant.blogspot.com/?a_smoker-blog" target="_blank"&gt;Adsense&lt;/a&gt; payment - which I am expecting some time this week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for right now I am happy and joyous and smoking a cigarette as I am typing this blog post!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can feel good again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/happy/1218.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-1797763288892315773?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/1797763288892315773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=1797763288892315773' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1797763288892315773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1797763288892315773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-have-cigarettes-again.html' title='I Have Cigarettes Again!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SNgMPcWuUMI/AAAAAAAAACk/q6auIUnMUJs/s72-c/hummer.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-3388302873347395338</id><published>2008-09-20T15:23:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-20T15:33:16.773-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Please Donate To A Worthy Cause'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bumming Cigarettes'/><title type='text'>Well, I'm Hanging In There!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm currently out of cigarettes again!

without one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-1972471249593596372?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/1972471249593596372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=1972471249593596372' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1972471249593596372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/1972471249593596372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-am-very-grateful-for-cigarettes-i-do.html' title='I Am Very Grateful For The Cigarettes I DO Have For Right Now!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-5369504797311365349</id><published>2008-08-22T20:34:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T20:34:41.128-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Surveys'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Solicitations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ads'/><title type='text'>National Tobacco Survey?</title><content type='html'>&lt;font face="comic sans ms"&gt;Usually I don't go for these survey-type things but I thought that I would add this information that I got in an email. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="comic sans ms"&gt;

It's been about a week since I last had any cigarettes and I was desparately trying to think of a way to get some!  I started to weigh my options:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;My &lt;a href="http://theadsenseconsultant.blogspot.com/?asmokersblog" target="_blank"&gt;adsense&lt;/a&gt; check won't be arriving for another week! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/traurig/sad-smiley-019.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;I had less than $2 in my bank account!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/traurig/sad-smiley-019.gif"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I had an &lt;em&gt;ephiphany&lt;/em&gt;!  I knew that you could buy something from certain stores with your debit card and you could get cash back!  Now the only thing was that I could only get cash back if I could get change as opposed to getting just a dollar amount - which would have put my bank balance in the negative!  But I had remembered seeing someone else do this once so I decided to go and take the chance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to a Rite Aid and had to buy something that cost less than 50 cents!  I bought a small bag of potatoe chips that cost 35 cents.  I asked the cashier if the kind of transaction I wanted was possible and she told me that I could get cash back but only in dollar amounts (no change).  So I decided to think about what I was going to do next!  In the meantime another customer wanted to do a different kind of transaction and it was similar to the kind of transaction that I wanted to make and she asked another cashier about it.  Picking up on this I decided to ask that same cashier about the kind of transaction I wanted to do.  She said it wasn't possible on the register that was open &lt;em&gt;but she kindly offered to open a register where I &lt;strong&gt;could&lt;/strong&gt; do the kind of transaction that I wanted to do&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long story short I was able to buy a pack of cigarettes and still have a &lt;em&gt;positive&lt;/em&gt; amount in my bank account!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that this is a very good example of the law of attraction at work!  Now I have just got to learn how to harness this law to my benefit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But at least for right now I have cigarettes!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://emoticons4u.com/smoking/rauch12.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-4579490328251268241?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/4579490328251268241/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=4579490328251268241' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4579490328251268241'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4579490328251268241'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2008/08/law-of-attraction-at-work.html' title='The Law Of Attraction At Work!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-329493755079651703</id><published>2008-08-02T14:18:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-02T14:27:20.393-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Other Cigarette Brands-Hummers'/><title type='text'>I Should Be Grateful - And I Am!</title><content type='html'>I am grateful that I &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; have cigarettes even though I had to buy a cheaper brand this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was all set!  I had my $3 dollars and some change which was just enough to buy 2 packs of Hummers.  However when I got to the store I found out that they were out of the kind of Hummer cigarettes that I prefer and they had a different version of them which wasn't the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I had to choose between buying a pack of "&lt;em&gt;better&lt;/em&gt;-tasting cigarettes or to buy 2 packs of the "&lt;em&gt;yucky-tasting&lt;/em&gt; Hummer brand and I chose the later!  (I'm smoking one of them right now as I am typing this blog post!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I should be very grateful that I have something to satisfy (barely) my nicotine craving for now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My adsense isn't due for another 3 weeks!  So I'm focusing my thoughts on the things that I have that I am grateful for and I'm working on "&lt;em&gt;law of attraction&lt;/em&gt; thoughts" to bring more cigarettes (and the brand of cigarettes that I like) into my life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am grateful for the cigarettes that I do have!

So I took a picture of them with my cellphone camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that I should note about this particular brand of cigarette is that it calls itself not cigarettes but cigars - little cigars!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing about this particular brand of cigarette - oops I mean cigars - is that it is not available everywhere!  So far I have only seen it being sold at my local gas station and even then sometimes they have run out of them.  The picture that you see above is only one type - they seem to come in other "flavors" but I like the plain brand better because the flavored brands (like cherry and grape) leave a "yucky" taste" in my mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also can not see on the package which specific company makes this brand of cigars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are much cheaper than my brand of cigarettes - Kools which cost around $4.50 per pack!  Hummer costs @$1.59 per pack!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So right now I'm smoking the cheaper Hummer cigarettes right now &lt;b&gt;but only until I get my hands on enough money to buy my Kools!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you're looking for a cheaper brand to help satisfy your nicotine craving, then you might want to give Hummer a try - if you can find them!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-6146848144515008755?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/6146848144515008755/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=6146848144515008755' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/6146848144515008755'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/6146848144515008755'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2008/07/cheaper-brand-of-cigarette-hummer.html' title='A Cheaper Brand Of Cigarette - Hummer!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/__ijOagNpbus/SG5ecj6vOFI/AAAAAAAAABU/kbx7mbwIyuA/s72-c/hummer.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-249689754563958458</id><published>2008-06-11T20:00:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T20:17:51.172-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Experiences and Musings And Observations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cheaper Brands'/><title type='text'>I Almost Didn't Get The Pack Of Cigarettes!</title><content type='html'>I had just enough money to buy the cheaper brand of cigarettes that I mentioned before - called &lt;a href="http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/search/label/Cheaper%20Brands?asmokersblog" target="_blank"&gt;Hummers&lt;/a&gt; and I went to my regular "haunt" - the gas station (that's where the cigarettes cost the cheapest) to get them.  Since I'm there buying cigarettes all the time most of the cashiers that work there know me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This particular time the cashier that was there must have been a new employee.  He didn't believe me when I told him that the cigarettes that I wanted to buy only cost $1.59 and I guess that this cigarette brand scanned differently.  He said he couldn't let me buy the cigarettes because he didn't believe that they only cost $1.59.  Well since I was out of cigarettes and that was the only store near me that sold that particular (cheaper) brand I was set on not leaving without them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime a woman comes in to pay for gas but some kind of mistake occurred and either she or the cashier didn't say the right gas pump number.  To make a long story short &lt;strong&gt;another&lt;/strong&gt; person at a different pump managed to get &lt;strong&gt;her&lt;/strong&gt; gas!  And by the time that was figured out the person who had gotten her gas had drove off.  The cashier wouldn't re-imburse her and she said she wasn't leaving until she got either her gas or her money back (she was using her credit card to pay for the gas).  In the meantime &lt;strong&gt;another&lt;/strong&gt; woman comes in and says that the gas pump charged her $5 and some change and no gas had pumped.  In the meantime I'm still there waiting to buy my cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make things even more complicated the time was coming upon a shift change and cashiers have to count out their cash drawers to make room for the next shift and cashier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime other customers were coming in.  Some had no problems with their transactions and a few had minor problems such as the cashier not being familar with the product or how much it cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime the woman who wanted either her gas or her money back said that she was going to call the police!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime during all this chaos (and while I was still there waiting) - the cashier decided to "take my word for it" and he let me purchase the cigarettes - which I was very glad about!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The poor cashier was having such a hard time and I felt so much better after being able to purchase the cigarettes that I thanked him and I told him that I hoped that the rest of his day would go better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime as I left the store (with my cigarettes) the woman who was complaining was on the public pay phone talking with her credit card company and things didn't seem to be going to well.  Since the transaction had more or less just started there had to be some time before they could look into the matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It just goes to show you that no matter how much of a bad day you might be having someone else is having an even worser day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm thankful and grateful that I was able to get my cigarettes and I hope things work out for the woman who was having a more worse day than me!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-249689754563958458?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/249689754563958458/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=249689754563958458' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/249689754563958458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/249689754563958458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-almost-didnt-get-pack-of-cigarettes.html' title='I Almost Didn&apos;t Get The Pack Of Cigarettes!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-704440010118413217</id><published>2008-06-09T14:34:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-09T14:39:31.086-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><title type='text'>I Have Cigarettes Again!</title><content type='html'>While I sit twiddling my thumbs and wait for the arrival of my &lt;a href="http://theadsenseconsultant.blogspot.com?asmokersblog" target="_blank"&gt;adsense&lt;/a&gt; payment to arrive I have been the lucky recipient of some cash!

(I live in Philadelphia).  Although I already had some cigarettes I decided to buy some more because I'm not in that area all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sale price was for 2 packs of cigarettes for $6 and as you can see from the receipt I bought 2 of them which came to $12.  Usually I pay around $4.50 - tax included - for a pack of Kool 100's.  But this brand was called Kools X which I have never tried before but I got them anyway because of the price!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have noticed that sometimes a store like a WaWa will have cigarettes on sale but I don't live near any of those.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you're looking for a good deal on cigarettes - Kools - then I suggest that you head on over there before the sale is over!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-3755132722727610207?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/3755132722727610207/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=3755132722727610207' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/3755132722727610207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/3755132722727610207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2008/03/kools-are-on-sale.html' title='Kools Are On Sale!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/R-9_x10f0CI/AAAAAAAAABE/MxVFq1V6xSg/s72-c/receipt.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-8989388169637782971</id><published>2008-03-27T20:10:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-03-27T20:14:10.339-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Please Donate To A Worthy Cause'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>My Adsense Check Is On Its Way!</title><content type='html'>Thank God for &lt;a href="http://theadsenseconsultant.blogspot.com?asmokersblog" target="_blank"&gt;Adsense&lt;/a&gt;!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just checked my adsense page and saw that my adsense payment is on it's way!

You never know who will decide to donate - perhaps a smoker who knows what its like to be without cigarettes, someone who loves smoking and loves to smoke like me........................&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-7388724792994175961?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/7388724792994175961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=7388724792994175961' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/7388724792994175961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/7388724792994175961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2008/02/im-counting-minutes-to-my-next.html' title='I&apos;m Counting The Minutes To My Next Cigarette(s)'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-2510805265596155271</id><published>2008-02-11T16:36:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-11T16:40:34.358-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yes I Smoke'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>I Am Still A Pro Smoker!</title><content type='html'>Even though I don't have any cigarettes right now I will in about 2 weeks time (at the most) because that is when I will get my Adsense payment and when I get my adsense payment I get my cigarettes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm trying to hold up as best as I can but I surely do miss that nicotine in my system!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am a smoker and I will always be a pro smoker!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-2510805265596155271?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/2510805265596155271/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=2510805265596155271' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/2510805265596155271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/2510805265596155271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-am-still-pro-smoker.html' title='I Am Still A Pro Smoker!'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-8485022205292298103</id><published>2008-01-29T18:16:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-29T18:23:10.435-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>Hooray!

I know that I will be getting some money in the next two weeks but that isn't helping my craving now!  (By the way, the money that I am getting is from my Adsense ads)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I'm thinking about cigarettes.  Sometimes I just think of and picture myself smoking a cigarette and a few of the times I'm thinking about having a whole carton of cigarettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway on this particular day I had to be ready because some repair guys were coming to take care of the water heater.  Meanwhile I'm still thinking about cigarettes.  Well the guys were supposed to come during the early morning but they came a few hours later.  I saw their truck outside but they didn't come to the door right away.  I just figured that since it was around lunch time they were either eating their lunch or they just stayed in their truck to smoke.  I thought of how nice it would be if I could bum a cigarette off of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they finally came in to fix the water heater and in the meantime I was still wanting a cigarette so badly but I was just too embarrassed to ask them - I didn't even if they smoked.  Well when they were finished and it was time for them to leave the subject came up of why they were in their truck so long and it turned out that they actually were smoking!  I bummed a few cigarettes off of them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This law of attracting and manifesting what you want really does work!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I smoked the cigarettes and I was very grateful to have had them!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-8555082241103184389?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/8555082241103184389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=8555082241103184389' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8555082241103184389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8555082241103184389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2008/01/law-of-attraction-it-works-i-manifested.html' title='The Law Of Attraction? - It Works!

So he's sending me some money and it will be a wait but hopefully I will get the money on Monday - this being a Friday!  I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will get some cigarettes real soon!  I'm real grateful that my brother is sending me some money and the knowing that he did send it is making things a little bit easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I think that this is a test just to see how badly I want to continue to smoke and I have to tell you that it doesn't matter because no matter how long I'm without cigarettes I never want to give the habit up.  As a matter of fact the longer that I am withoout cigarettes the more my vow to continue smoking!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't gotten any donations yet but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that I will get some donations via Paypal.

It kind of obscures the icons that are appearing on the desktop so I have to work on it some more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  got this idea because I was sitting here at my computer just thinking about how joyful it would be have a cigarette right now - which mean of course that I am out of cigarettes right now.  I hope to have more cigarettes before the weekend is over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far I haven't gotten any donations yet....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the next time you have that cigarette please think of me.............&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-8952569328565626504?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/8952569328565626504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=8952569328565626504' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8952569328565626504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/8952569328565626504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2007/12/making-new-desktop-to-remind-me.html' title='Making A New DeskTop To Remind Me'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/R2SriTkth4I/AAAAAAAAAAk/rBwXqGMMmoI/s72-c/kools2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-4496583937488291676</id><published>2007-12-09T21:01:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-09T21:06:00.628-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paying For Cigarettes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Please Donate To A Worthy Cause'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><title type='text'>Today I Bought One Pack Of Cigarettes...........</title><content type='html'>that's all I could afford.

Once in a while there are sales like where you can get 2 for 1 or they are promoting some new type of variation of the brand.  That's what happened a few weeks ago where Kools were on sale for like half the price but it wasn't the kind that I smoke so I didn't get them.  I may try them out just to see if I like them but I'm pretty set on the kind of cigarette that I smoke now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am grateful that I had enough money to buy my one pack of cigarettes today!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7737016-4496583937488291676?l=a_smoker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/feeds/4496583937488291676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7737016&amp;postID=4496583937488291676' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4496583937488291676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7737016/posts/default/4496583937488291676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a_smoker.blogspot.com/2007/12/today-i-bought-one-pack-of-cigarettes.html' title='Today I Bought One Pack Of Cigarettes...........'/><author><name>A Smoker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07454810615601680136</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__ijOagNpbus/SKcZjZzvnyI/AAAAAAAAABo/o_OTaTZ8Y10/S220/kools.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737016.post-8908645230373643221</id><published>2007-11-15T23:42:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-15T23:46:07.117-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I Have Cigarettes Again'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Supply'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I&apos;m Out Of Cigarettes Again'/><title type='text'>I Haven't Posted In A While....................</title><content type='html'>though its not because I had a lack of cigarettes - quite the opposite - I had an abundance of cigarettes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now I'm down to my last pack and have to venture outside in the cold tommorrow to buy some more.

How long ago was it that I was complaining (in this very blog) about not having any cigarettes and not having the money to even buy &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;them?  What about when I bought a pack of cheaper cigarettes that I had to pay with half my debit card and the other half in change?  It does a &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mind good to think about this when that mind bemoans the fact that I have to go buy them - doesn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though there are more and more laws against smoking in certain areas I am still glad to see other smokers like me around!  I saw a guy smoking a &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cigarette as he was walking somewhere and it just made me feel glad that I wasn't the only smoker around.
