No one ever wants a quarter though lol.
I've had the most success asking for a smoke like this, have $.50-1.00 in my hand (smokes are $11.00 a pack here), no one ever takes it tho.. I really think it's stupid you can't buy singles here, if I'm trying to quit and have a craving I want 1 smoke, not 25! There's been a few times a craving has got me to pickup the bad habit again...

That's for "premium" smokes, you can get a 20 pack of value brand for $7... I can't say I'm completely outraged with the extra tax given our socialist healthcare, at least smokers in theory cover the costly medical procedures they statistacly require more of then non-smokers

As a professional mooch I believe in "cigarette karma". I give them out when asked and I have no problem asking when I need one. Usually if bums ask me for change I give them cigarettes if I have a pack on me.
However, the last time I was in my hometown (in Central New York) I realized that people were FAR less willing to give out cigarettes when I saw people ask. I'm used to bums being able to just ask someone for a cig and people will give them one without thinking twice. I didn't realize it, but my brother said that it's pretty typical for people to turn away others asking for cigarettes just because the things are so fucking expensive there now. Not that people won't still bum them, but I have way less luck in places where they are so expensive. I also receive way more gratitude when I give them out in those same places. One time in Manhattan some dude bought me a fucking drink because I bummed him a cigarette

PsychedelicLife said: The third is the worst and it makes me sick when I see it. It's kind of rare. It's usually a cynical and cold "NOPE, you can't have a cigarette." The smoker makes it aware that he does have smokes but isn't willing to give any out. I think this is kind of selfish in a sense. It's like explicitly telling a homeless guy "hey I have change but I won't give you any."
What!? It's as if you think people owe other people things.

He didn't convey that the person in his example was being a dick. He also seems to be saying that if a person has change they should simply always give some of it to a homeless person, which reinforces the fact that OP thinks that you owe cigarettes/change to people.

I don't even smoke normal cigs,so when people ask me for a cigarette,I open my home made packet of cigs filled with powder made from datura seeds and hand them one.That shuts down their brain for few hours so they won't annoy me again.

It's funny because so many of my black peers genuinely believe this.

Generalization. You aren't seeing the black people that don't think this way because they aren't as loud and stupid about it.

of course no one has to be a dick about anything, they choose to and I think everyone should have that right.

Lately I've noticed a lot of people tend to offer the "dollar for a smoke" thing. I like this trend

Its a bad trend. People used to be more generous to complete strangers. They'd give cigs away, now you have to make a lucerative offer.

yeah that shits annoying, it makes the non-smoker feel like hes a annoying prick.
what i hate the most is when i need a light n they say, 'do you want me to smoke it for you to'
i want to strangle people who say this shit

I don't smoke cigarettes because I think they're bad for you. Therefore, when I drunkenly buy a pack, I give a lot away
