more sex
that's "more of zee sex" to you buddy
Always the answer
You ever eat a crêpe after a good ménage?
You act like wine and a baguette isn't already at their bedside
Smoke a baguette maybe?
Crème the brûlée?
Buy Italian cigarettes?
Roll a doob.
Close the grave again.
Hit a fat cloud on his vape
Doggy style?
Carbs.
Wait, my vision of a man wearing a striped shirt and a beret smoking a cigarette is not actually what French people are like?
Not anymore. It's all changing for the worse. I hear they're coming after the baguettes next. The mimes are speechless.
Well steal my onions and call me Jacques!
Jokes aside, I swear they really do walk around with baguettes in hand. 3 days in Paris, sitting at multiple cafes, and we saw it in the morning, at lunch, in the evening. Men, Women, Children, well dressed, poorly dressed (for a Parisian), black, white, brown, blue, green, every combination in between, we'd see someone walking around with baguettes. I've lived in multiple cities and visited even more in the US and Europe. Never have I seen so many people walking around with bread!
People eat bread and pick it up from their local bakery then walk home with it instead of stuffing it in the trunk of their SUV to drive two blocks. What do you expect.
You're right of course, nor was I making any judgements. I loved seeing it! It made me smile. As did the quintessential "scowling french waiter" standing 15ft in front of us on the other side of the side walk, with apron and and all. And despite a previous poster's comment about their infamous cultural rudeness, these slightly overweight, non-french speaking Americans didn't experience any overt rudeness at all. If they were bad mouthing us quietly in french they did a great job of hiding it. [shrug]
I would visit Paris again in a heartbeat; though I would never fly Air France nor pass through CDG if you paid me. Such a horrible experience. Guess we'll fly BA into LHR and take the chunnel or a ferry for the experience.
That's because fresh baguettes are damn hard to beat.
And hard to eat if they aren't fresh anymore.

Yes monsieur.
Well you still have 50% of the adult population regularly smoking so nothing change on this part.
“Heuh heuh”

When I went to Paris this summer, lots of locals were smoking. The odor of Paris was urine and cigarettes.
Nothing speaks "city of love" like the smell of stale piss and burnt tobacco at the Eiffel Tower!

If tobacco/nicotine itself isn't banned then this could potentially get a lot of chainsmokers to switch to a relatively healthier form of smoking like dry herb vaporizers.

Ironic that back in the 50s physicians used to prescribe smoking as a health benefit! 🙄🤣

It helps against one disease, as far as I know (believe me I'm a doctor.).
The disease is ulcerative colitis.
Fun fact: Alcohol improves symptom of one disease too. The disease is called essential tremor.

Ironic, isnt it?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most French smokers roll their own?
Not really. In general, those who rolls their own do this because it's less expensive
That tobacco is packaged in plants, too.
Well yeah, but the post title is that France will stop manufacturing cigarettes not process tobacco for sale.
It's increasingly rare all over. Rolling your own is cheaper but not by much these days. I always preferred the taste of self rolled when I did smoke but most smokers I've found, wherever you go, would prefer to smoke pre-rolled if they can
As far as I'm aware, 1637 is still made in France. Does this article only refer to pre-rolled cigarettes?
As opposed to cigarettes that haven't been rolled yet? Isn't that just called tobacco and papers? Pretty sure cigarettes means cigarettes, but I haven't read the article
Is this just a profit saving measure?
