In Reply to: RE: smoking around electrostatic speakers? posted by bullethead on August 13, 2012 at 14:11:52
If you have to smoke ( I guess you think you do ) why not do it outside and then you can enjoy any speakers you want indoors. If you quit smoking just think how many more years you can enjoy those speakers. I'll get off my soapbox now.
Follow Ups:
I live in New York City, I already have my Mayor Bloomberg taxing me to high hell. Costs me just a tad under $800 for cigarettes a month, not to mention he wanted to ban salt in recipes at Restaurants, and now wants to ban large sodas. I really appreciate your comments, I just hope you are not like the people who have cursed and spit at me when I have smoke breaks during lunchtime at work.
So, yeah thanks. Electrostatic speakers and smoke don't go together, I get it,
I'm down to my last one right now .
Man oh man, that's gotta be some expensive habit up there. Might have to start smugglin' smokes to NY...JUST KIDDING!
-RW-
If you want to ride Amtrack or get here somehow I can meet you in one of the 5 boroughs of NYC and we can exchange some suitcases in a few parking lots, let me know. lol!
I was thinking about smuggling about 100 cartons from Delaware just for myself (it's $4 a pack there). I go through a carton and a half a week. Then I would probably have to build a humidor for storing them all.
I tried rolling my own, I can't roll them fast enough, I smoke one as I roll another, and when that's done I smoke that one too, then roll another.
I prefer the pre-rolled tobacco sticks. Specifically Winston Red pack.
Another good reason not to buy stats.
If you managed to quit, you could pay for a pair of Sundlab U1s in a mere 43 months from the savings....That should be a huge incentive :) at least it would be for me....
dee
;-D
True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

There's been a lot of talk on the radio about this lately.
I don't miss the nanny mindset of politicians (and apparently voters) of New York State at all.
They tax and over-regulate everything to death, then wonder why their economy continues to sink.
What kind of speakers were we talking about?
Remember that you're paying for that pig's insulin
I could get any car that I would want and have gas money left over, but a car is probably not a priority in NYC. I used to smoke and sometimes the former smokers are the worse, but I have no problem with smokers as long as it doesn't invade my space, and I would never spit on you no matter what. You can't move to Jersey and take the train to work? Are you allowed to smoke at restaurants if you sit outside? Some restaurants around here are 100% smoke-free.
Smoking is basically banned everywhere there is open air here. They don't call tobacco the strongest spirit for nothing. I will quit I have to say, once I find the right Yogi teacher to follow. It is very hard addiction.
$12 a pack of 20 cigarettes here, where a few states over it's $4.
I can get political on this, but I won't. I don't want the Department of Homeland Security knocking, or worse, busting down my door asking me for my papers. Yes I believe it has gotten that bad.
For what it may be worth: At one point my older son used to smoke cigs. He was traveling in the deep south with his GF, broke, and needed smokes. He ended up at a smoke shop that convinced him to roll his own, using a quality roller and pipe tobacco due to cost. After he tried this for a while he mentioned how much better he felt due to the crap they put in the cigs. these days. No additives, much cheaper, smokes better. He got very adept at rolling enough for the day and putting them in a metal case. For him it was a necessary step towards stopping smoking altogether. Not easy, and not by itself, but just not possible from off-the-shelf cigs. alone.
