• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

When I was a smoker, one of the reasons i went from cigarettes to rollies was that I thought I'd smoke less.

I didn't. I smoked more, a lot more :lol:

Before I gave up in 2018, I had previously moved from a 20 Marlboro Light a day habit to rolling my own in 2012 or so because it was so much cheaper, and also I found it much tastier. A 'rolllie' usually contains far less tobacco than a 'straight' cigarette.

As a very boring person, and to entertain myself, I occasionally ask at the Tesco Bont fags counter how much 20 Marlboro are now; last time, about a month ago, it was £15.68....fkn unreal!
 
That fact about Barry White is mind-blowing, isn't it? 150 cigarettes a day sounds almost unreal. It just goes to show how intense and harmful a smoking habit can get. My uncle was also a heavy smoker, and seeing the health problems he faced really made me think twice about smoking.

For me, steering clear of cigarettes has always been a priority. But I know quitting or cutting down is tough for many. That's why alternatives like vaping have caught on. If you're thinking of switching or just curious, https://nexussmoke.com/collections/elf-bar has a bunch of options. It's a starting point for those looking into healthier choices.
 
If you smoke on a motorbike you get through them ever so quickly.

I’m a non smoker and don't pay attention to the price of ciggies. I was recently at a petrol garage and queuing behind a woman who was paying for her fuel. After shelling out around £100 for petrol the woman asked for 10 packets of fags, I was stunned when the cashier asked for £140 odd quid for the fags. Mental money.

They should be 100quid for 10, disgusting things.
