    True story: I got booted from watching a sex show (a rather lame one at that) in Amsterdam for the simple act of lighting up a Djarum and puffing away. Apparently, the Dutch hate clove cigarettes. Coffee shop owners won't even let you smoke them in their shops.

    Come on people. It's not like it's pot. #cloves

    Cloves were my gateway cigarettes. As a bitter ex-smoker, I say ban 'em. #cloves

    @Hiphopopotamus: you must be the only two in the world. i smoke the occasional flavored cigarette or cloves and have never become hooked on cigs at all, but all my friends who were little badass real smokers in high school (and probably to this day) smoked reds or whatever most disgusting foul things their mothers smoked... My impression has always been that flavors and cloves are for fake smokers only. But maybe i'm just incredibly self-absorbed in my outlook. #cloves

    @metalkate: I agree, I usually buy a couple packs of cloves during the summer and I think its quite a stretch to jump from Djarum to Newports. Not a weed to heroin stretch, but still pretty big. #cloves

    I smoked them in high school because I liked the smell better (incense-ish!) and thought that if I told guys my lips tasted like cherry, they'd make out with me. This was ineffective. Not only because my breath smelled like cloves, but mostly because I was an unsavory, embarrassing person to be around back then.

    That said, my HS best friend called cloves "little goth girls," and I still call them that now, 10 years later. #cloves

    I am a smoker, and have hilariously evolved in my smokes of choice. It used to be cloves (when I was 18), then several ill-advised packs of Lucky Strike unfiltered, then Marlboro Reds for years and years (because I was TOUGH) and now Parliament Lights, probably because I'm a jerk.

    Cigarettes are great. #cloves

    @femme-bot: I found this hilarious brand of cigarettes called 'Cameos' or some such because the packaging is really tacky and therefore no one tries to bum them from me when we're out- my best friend calls them my 'tampon cigarettes'.

    Menthol also works in a similar way except, you know, you actually have to smoke them. #cloves

    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: A few years ago I bought a $20 carton of "Kentucky's Best" smokes outside Cincinnati. They were 100s, had a sweet horse head on the cover, and tasted like hot garbage. I just had to start giving packs to people who later told me that they ended up throwing most of them away. #cloves

    There's something about cloves that remind me of this rebellious high school senior desperately seeking attention (maybe because she was always smoking them).

    But I want to smoke my cigarettes, not fuck them, so let's stick with Camel Lights in packs of 20. #cloves

    @OHymenMyHymen: Camel is the most disgusting-smelling cigarette ever.
    My old flatmate brought back several of those massive cartons from duty-free earlier this year, and (as she lacks the social graces that usually compel people to smoke outside) completely saturated every cloth surface in the house with that smell. Cloves are *almost* a welcome respite to that stench! #cloves

    You know how you eat something that gives you food poisoning and then forever and ever the smell of that food reminds you of puking your brains out? Yeah, that's cloves for me. Thankfully I'm not friends with any hippies. #cloves

    If you're inhaling burning debris, it's a cigarette. If you actually enjoy swizzling burning debris around in your mouth, then you probably accidentally inhaled burning debris. #cloves

    To be fair, like cigars, many clove-smokers do not inhale the smoke; they merely, like, roll it around on their tongue or something. I don't see the point in that, but this is a true story. #cloves
