This is bullshit.

I was there and we sure as fuck didn't use pussy ass filters until we were old enough to understand the health benefits.

Wouldn't this depend on your source? If you're raiding the parents' packs and they have filters so do you. Lots of wannabe badass underage friends smoking their mom's Virginia Slims in my time

My first smoke was one of my mom's Virginia Slims.

Just buy them from the vending machine.

and a swig of Maddog 20/20 was also in order. Or some Night Train Express if one of your buds was already in their 30s.

I have not-so-fond memories of pink grapefruit Maddog...

[–] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 6 points 10 months ago

With MD 20/20 you either have shitty memories or none at all

[–] TheLastOfHisName@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I have ridden the Night Train. I have looked the Devil in the eye.

There are no health benefits to the filters, they only keep you from getting tobacco in your mouth.

Pssst, that was part of the joke. Don't tell anyone.
