The fun truth of the fact is that fretting over getting cancer from smoking will give you cancer faster than not really worrying about it. Not saying you shouldnt worry, but you shouldnt. If you are worried, stop smoking.

I never smoked or even seen Beedis, but I did smoke Black and Milds and Capones for ~2 years. If they fall in the cigar category like I'd assume, they're more harmful. You should probably expect a lot of coughing at night. Other than that, if you're going to kill yourself slowly do it in style.

I smoke black & milds and malboro menthols. I been smoking for about 2yrs and go threw a pack every 4-7days. I got to admit I started because I thought it would relieve stress but your better off going out for walks then smoking.

whats a beedi?

if its weed then its better than cigs, if its not weed, then you SHOULD consider smoking weed.

I smoke marijuana. Funny thing is, I started smoking weed before I started smoking cigarettes D:

When I smoked it was this only. If I wanted menthol I'd suck on a fucking mint while smoking.

It's an off-flavor cigarette.. most commonly a nickname for clove cigarettes. (Up where I live it's spelled bidi)

Alright, this isn't a thread about how unhealthy smoking is... I already know, did all the research, blahblahblah.

After doing some surfing on the web, I've tried to compare a Beedi vs. your standard cigarette. Reason I ask is because I've been smoking for a while, but I'm talking about 1-3 cigarettes a week... some weeks I don't even smoke. Reason I smoke is because its a very easy way to relieve a lot of the stress that goes on in my life, and it helps me cope with a lot of bullshit :/

But anyway, I want people's opinions on Beedis vs. Cigarettes. Which one's more harmful? I smoked about two Beedis today and I liked it... so...

First thing to realize here is that a bidi is a normal tobacco cigarette with a flavoring agent, so it's just as bad for your health. If it's a clove, it's actually worse since the clove oil not only numbs your throat but also adds to the amount of tar in the smoke, which'll clog your lungs faster.

On the other hand, I smoke cloves and personally find them less addictive - I'm lucky if I finish a pack in two weeks. Plus the new taxes in my state make them $10.75/pack, so I buy them less often.

I always heard that "lights" were better for you than regular cigarettes. You could try those if you're looking for a healthy alternative to smoking. Or maybe just don't smoke them all the way down to the filter, cause that's where the most chemicals are.

The tobacco companies have really done a lot to make smoking a lot more healthy.

Which would you rather put in your mouth?

A cigarette made by a machine?

A cigarette made by the hands and feet of dirty poor Indian children?

Blu Cigarettes — Quit Smoking With Blu Cigs Electronic Cigarettes!

keep seeing stuff about these on pornotube.

any try 'em?

These seem really cool. Exponentially cheaper than actual cigarettes too. More people should know about this, it's a healthier alternative you can wean yourself off of, or continue if you want.

Bidis are not like Clove cigs at all. Bidis are tobacco wrapped in tobacco leaves. They are worse for you than cigarettes but they do taste better in my opinion.

Quit if you want, or keep smoking. I'm a smoker myself and I could really care less about my health cuz I'm awesome like that. I wish I didn't have to drive 30 minutes just to find a freakin tobacco shop that sells Bidis.

But yeah, they are worse than cigarettes. If you don't wanna smoke Bidis, roll your own cigarettes with some flavored tobacco, they taste pretty yummy.

[zoobernut]

Girl is right Bidi's are not flavored cigarettes. I used to smoke Bidi's they are bad for you but awesome. They are also very small and not cloves or flavored cigarettes.

I have since quit because my wife is intolerant of tobacco smoke but I don't really miss it much.
