Are smokes cheap? (And by cheap I mean inexpensive.)

Honestly I don't see much vaping but that could be age specific and regional. Mostly males smoke. Smokes range from mysteriously cheap to ridiculously expensive. For exanol3 once I bought a 20 rmb pack which was like 2.75 a pack. Then most bosses smoke 100 rmb packs of chunghwa which are like 16 dollars a pack. What the fucking difference is I don't know. The former are smoked by mogrant workers working on construction jobs. The latter are smoked by upper management as a status symbol.

So over the years I have let my colleagues try deep south chewing tobacco /skoal or just the leaves/, European Snuss /in neat little pouches/, European snuff/up the nose/, a pipe, nicotine gum and one guy came through with nicotine spray. None of it got good reviews. They only like to smoke cigarettes.

You know those little cigarette stubs that you insert and puff on. They have a filter. I think people smoke them because the brand is korean and it shows people have purchasing ability to buy duty free tobaccoshit Sat, 03 May 2025 08:17:37 -0700 Wily from private IP Reply #15755404 There's a good amount of vaping these days, but just among the Sat, 03 May 2025 08:17:45 -0700 Wily from private IP Reply #17926713 There's a good amount of vaping these days, but just among the Sat, 03 May 2025 08:18:23 -0700 Wily from private IP Reply #16142953 There's a good amount of vaping these days, but just among the under 40 crowd. Cigarettes are still king despite all the attempts to cut down smoking in public places. I bought a carton of Zhonghua (what WGIC is talking about) at the duty free for $90 yesterday but I don't smoke. A pack retails for $12 or so and is a baller tip for any handyman or property manager guy or courier who does something very nice for me. My in-laws provide me cartons of cheaper smokes ($3 per pack) for normal tips too. Men in this country won't accept money as tips but will take a pack.

Does mere cash sort of cheapen the exchange? Like, inasmuch as getting and then disbursing a propinquity for extra good service is the nucleation of guanxi, is it inappropriate to use naked money for that?Replies require login.
