Tabs
That's what we call them (not cigs or fags) so it's as good a title as any.

When my teens were dawning, all of my family smoked. My mam had for as long as I can remember, when my step-dad moved in, he liberated everything and I learned that not only my 3 step-siblings (older teens), but my older brother smoked too and it was all out in the open. The only mammals in our house who didn't smoke were myself and my 2 dogs.

I came to (what I thought at 11, was) a rational and well-reasoned decision, that if I was going to suffer all the negative effects through passive smoking, then I may as well enjoy a proper smoke.

Persevering with cigarettes until I was well and truly hooked on nicotine. Surely the single most stupidest fucking thing I've ever done.

tabs they are. although the hilarity that ensues here in the states when asking someone if it's okay to bum a fag off them...

@ pablosamigos
Snout is a prison term. Only the chavviest of chavs (charvers, actually) use the term up here.

I'm with you on that one
Although to be honest they are the only things preventing me from being a grouchy bastard in the morning. Rough with the smooth I guess... perhaps I should switch to a nicotine inhalator!
