Clove cigs.

Or kreteks as they're called in Indonesia. I don't like normal cigs 'cuz they make me sick but I have a certain love for cloves. I don't get the nausea and they give me this certain slightly euphoric lift that I love! I know they're probably not great for you but I smoke them on occasion and science tells me they aren't any worse than regular cigs.
Anyone else enjoy these?

science may not tell you, but i believe many peoples experiences will tell you that cloves make you have lunghurt a lot faster than cigs.
but i have to say i enjoy one or two here and there, just not enough to buy a pack.

I used to smoke Djarums, cause they were a finer smoke - less harsh - had a filter - thinner cig - i used cloves to wean myself off real cigs - but don't be fooled, cloves are harsh and bad for you. OoD

Regular cigs will make you cough up blood too! Eugenol the ingredient in cloves reduces the gag reflex and is thought to make it easier to cough stuff up which would explain that. All tobacco can make your lungs bleed. Personally I've never coughed up blood though.

i dont like to smoke regular cigarettes because theyre harsh on my lungs and smell/taste bad. especially that after smell. yuck.
cloves are just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SMOOTH. i dont understand how anyone could go back to regular ciggs after smoking a clove. Djarum blacks are absolutely amazing. Ive tried many different kinds of cloves...the lights, splashes, especials, etc....blacks are my favorite. Theyre the sweetest. Also, i find that one clove cigarette smokes twice as long, time wise, as a regular tobacco cigarette. Right around 10 minutes for me...just the time it takes for me to walk to class.
I try to forcibly limit myself to one pack a month, but that never holds out. I like em too much. Plus, there is this small tobacco shop that sells em for $5 a pack. My suitemate and I formed a support group to not smoke em too much. lol

I love the smell/taste of cloves. Whenever I am around someone smoking cloves I'll bum one because they smell so good but I never buy them.
My favorite is clove chewing gum!
