Advantages: very few, really

Disadvantages: not exactly good for health; expensive

The first cigarettes I smoked were B&H Gold, then Marlboro Reds. But these were both too strong and I always ended up with a sore throat and bad cough. Marlboro Lights were OK, though I've always thought there was an odd chemical taste to them. Eventually I found Camel Lights and, although I don't smoke much (maybe once every few months) I've stuck with them. Of course, like all cigarettes, they're no good for you at all: smoking (even just occasionally) can lead to a number of serious and ultimately fatal illnesses. It's expensive and increasingly considered anti-social, and for all these reasons I'm in the process of quitting for good (won't be a student for much longer now so trying to be more sensible!).

For those who already smoke, and are interested in knowing about this brand, they have a pleasant flavour, full without being overwhelming in terms of smoke or taste. They burn slightly slower than Marlboros. In terms of what's in them, there's 6mg tar, 0.5mg nicotine, so relatively average for 'light' cigarettes. In the UK at least, they're premium priced, about the same as Marlboros at around £5.50-£6 for 20. They're not always easy to find, especially outside the south east of England.

Summary: Worth a try if you already smoke
