Amazon.com: herbal cigarettes american indian: health & personal care

Many of us smoke due to stress. I bought my first pack of smokes after 15 solid years of having given up smoking. Unfortunately, it’s exactly like riding a bike and I was back to chain smoking (American Spirit Menthols) like a winter chimney. And of course back also were the smells and coughing. I did research, found these, threw the tobacco in the trash, and then sat on my hands and waited patiently. This did ship fast, arriving within a few days. I must b honest, I’ve tried other herbal brands that tasted like lawn clippings and burnt down way too fast. So despite the rave reviews here, I was hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst. The packaging was perfect for the carton and all arrived in great care. I opened a plain white pack, pulled out a cigarette which looks exactly like any other filtered smoke. I drew it under my nose, and found a very fresh, clean, herbal scent, instead of the bitterness of tobacco. I lit the cigarette, and found them tightly well packed, so they burn evenly, without popping or an overly fast burn. Despite my love for menthol, I found these to taste very similar to regular cigs I’ve had, and the smell is still a smoke smell, but it’s a slightly cleaner, less noxious scent. After being without smokes for that few days, it’s safe to say that I inhaled deeply, practically drawing it down to my toes (I know smokers know what I’m talking about). And then something happened, somewhere between 1/2 & 3/4ths into the cigarette I had the most all encompassing sense of relaxation. I was calm, where by nature and despite meditation, i’m anxious. I thought maybe it was just because I’d gone without, but then that same exact feeling of calm would repeat every time I’d have one.Read more
