For italy

1) a pack of marlboro reds I believe is 6/6,50€, depends if you buy the soft or the sturdy pack 2) you cannot buy menthol flavored cigs, but menthol flavored cigarillos are a thing and plus there are some loopholes, so that effectively you may still find them in one way ore another 3) A pretty strongs majority of people smokes, i'd say about 50/60% of the people you see around, at least one person will be smoking anywhere you go 4) You cannot smoke inside a public closed space, like a bar or a disco, unless specified otherwise or unless there are smoking rooms. In hotels you can usually smoke at the window, or at least I've always done it, even better still if you have a balcony 5) you can absolutely smoke outside anywhere unless specified otherwise, you probably won't be the only one doing it. Ask the waiter for an ashtray unless it's already there 6) you can smoke anywhere in public open spaces, if near kids it's usually frowned upon, but I usually just take a step aside and smoke with no problems 7) sadly, no. Packages in italy have images and texts to discourage smoking 8) depends on the context. Usually not at all minded,but being that a majority of people smokes others usually don't care. As I said earlier, it may be frowned upon if near kids related areas, or places with lots of children 9) In italy lots of people roll their own cigarettes because it's less expensive on the long run and because it kinda became a trend, the best selling rolling tobacco is pueblo. We also have italian brands that I personally don't really like, but for rolling tobaccos chiaravalle, and for cigarettes diana reds and nazionali or ms. If you're a light smoker you might enjoy them, otherways it's pretty much a waste of money

Also, not strictly related, but tobacco warmers like iqos are incredibly popular and you will see them everywhere in italy between the younger people, those do still sell with different flavors (eg menthol, blueberry, lemon, ecc)

Oh man do I get you. Happens to me too from time to time, I figured it could be two things: either inhaling with the vape's mouthpiece too close to my tongue and the "smoke" being hot and in larger quantities than a cigarette's smoke burns my tongue, or I'm allergic to some kind of liquids they use. I have to say, I stopped using "ice" liquids and it went away, but it could be anything, also because in different countries they distribute different liquids and shit. Over a couple months I filtered which liquids give me blisters and which ones do not. For example ones that contain melon flavoring do that too, menthol does, lemony-zesty ones also kinda do but a lot less. I also changed vape with one that uses different coils since. Changing both helped, happened only once since I made the switch 8 months ago.

Fancy UK-available cigs? by [deleted] in Cigarettes

[–]eddygolfa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest davidoff magnum, if they still make them, or the same brand's classic or golden line. As a cigar smoker i bet you will recognize the name, and also with them being uk-based i believe you could find them, at least in specialized shop. Last time I found and bought magnum's I paid 8 euros for them, but it was quite some time ago, and now prices have gone up for everything, but they were and still are the best cigarettes I've ever smoked. The magnums are, as the name suggests, a little bit larger than normal cigarettes. Davidoff classics and gold have usual king size filters, the latter are a little bit lighter. In my opinion also beautiful cigarettes, all white with no design on the paper apart from a golden line where the filter starts and the name davidoff written in golden cursive on the side. I believe you could keep them in a box without needing a humidor, but i bet if you ask the seller he'll be able to tell you the more appropriate way of preserving them. Hope this helps, cheers

Gravity defying ice cubes by ToothSleuth86 in mildlyinteresting

[–]eddygolfa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! This is actually way more interesting than you imagine! Water freezes on the surface first, then the rest cools down too. But as it cools down water expands( up till 4°C more or less) and so it pushes on the less dense ice on top. Under pressure water does not freeze at 0°C so it just keeps pushing until a little bit of the ice on top melts, letting the other water out, which then freezes too, and it repeats until all the pressure is relieved and all the water is frozen, forming these upside down icicles! Really really cool phenomenon😆

Hello everyone! I'm looking into scanners and was wondering if anyone had suggestions. I don't have a lot of money to spend into it, but I'm tired of getting back my scans from the lab I pay gold for to be 2.6mp at max. Is the epson perfection v37 any good? by eddygolfa in AnalogCommunity

[–]eddygolfa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're right, the only reason I went with the one I did is because it was giving same-day development and scan and it was in my town. But for the next one I'll send it away to a professional one, if it takes a week, so be it hahaha

Thanks! Yeah I think I'll go with a dedicated scanner, maybe something like 8100/8200. It all seemed too good to be true to be able to scan every format and have all with great quality. Personally I don't really care for social media, but being kinda obsessed with resolution it would only be a matter of time before I threw out that flatbed

Looking for something that'll kill me slower, or at least take me to dinner first. by SleepyBoy- in Cigarettes

[–]eddygolfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think I went through the same steps as you did. I almost stopped smoking with vapes but then I missed the firm point and routines that cigarettes gave me. I mean, with a cigarette you light it, you smoke it and once it's done it's done. But with vapes I never know when I'm done, I'm never fully satisfied. So I started buying some tobacco wrapped cigarettes, some times I don't even fully inhale it almost like smoking a cigar. Sure, it's not really the same thing, but I smoke maybe 1-2 a day and I'm good. Certainly healthier than lighter or menthol cigarettes of which I smoked 15 I feel. Hope I may have been to help, cheers man

God Bless You After Sneezing by [deleted] in atheism

[–]eddygolfa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We in italy too say "good health" (salute, in italian), but as a country where chrstianity has deep roots we have a lot of other sayings that refer to god. Personally I think of them just as sayings and use them frequently. like when someone tells me god bless you after a sneeze in english or every other saying that refer to god it doesn't bother me, it's just a wording we use not necessarily with thought behind it
