roll-your-own? :-)
joints?
gauloise?
How do they smell?

Why help her to kill herself?
Google has conjured up the following white cigarettes:

Red & White Lights
Red & White Super lights
Marlboro Lights White Filter
Vogue super slims

I'm sure there are more.
I don't think it's great to encourage your friend to puff on little cancer enducing sticks though but there we go.
nope, they're obviously not rollies or joints (the difference between a cigarette and a rollie is pretty obvious....
they're just all white cigarettes.
as for the "why help her to kill herself" comment, give me a break, she spends lots of money on fags and she'll obviously appreciate them as a present. she'll just buy them herself otherwise. if she comes to me and says that she wants to give up then i'll support her in that, but im not just going to randomly preach at her, especially as im an ex-smoker and am still partial to the occasional smoke.

any other offers apart from gauloise (and I'm fairly sure its not them, i think its a type of marlboro)?

Edit: thanks PinkMobilePhone, it must be the white filter types)

And if she was on crack cocaine, I guess that they would buy a hit for her, to save her money ?
If they are friends, they should be paying for a quit smoking program for her.

If they are too cheap to do that they should direct her to
http://www.quit.org.uk/

"QUIT is the independent charity whose aim is to save lives by helping smokers to stop.
Smokers wanting to QUIT please call 0800 00 22 00"
Stop preaching. If someone wants to smoke the death sticks, then they're free to do so. Just means there'll be less people to get in your way when you're old :smile:

FRIENDS DON'T KILL FRIENDS
I don't like this idea of a present.

Yeah, if she came to you to say she wanted to quit you say you would support her. Great!

But it doesn't mean you have to go the other way an encourage her if she doesn't say she wants to quit.

Let her waste her money on them and maybe try and buy her something that is actually nice or useful for her Birthday.

OP, you must have given up for a reason, right, so why would you want to encourage the opposite in your friend?

I gave up drinking tequilla because it didn't agree with me. Doesn't mean I wouldn't buy it for someone else.

Anyway, I sincerely hope some of the opinions voiced here are jokes.

She wants to MURDER her friend !:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Err, AFAIK its pretty normal for smokers/ex.smokers to buy each other cigarettes. I'd guess they are Marlboro lights.

SOTS, some people enjoy smoking. Would you not buy something for a friend that they would enjoy? It's not murder.

Yep buying someone a present they'd actually want as opposed to preaching at them on their birthday by buying them a quit smoking programme = murder

The girl's not going to give up if they don't buy her the cigarettes...I don't see the problem here.
The problem is some people think they have the right to abominate something because It's unhealthy. I dont see warning labels on obese people?
This is like~
Oh dont buy her some new clothes, pay for a diet program.
The cigarettes I smoke are all white and that is because they are menthol cigs. This is probably what she is smoking, be in Superking Menthols, Richmond Superking menthols, Berkeley Green.... All sorts, but most likely they are menthols :smile:
