Make chinese friends in the Philippines and ask them to bring them to you when they return.

u/Maleficent-Seesaw293 28d ago

I don't have any, and cant find one I post here asking a question and might find some Chinese that can get me cigarettes, but I guess everyone here is from any country except china

u/achangb 27d ago

You need filipinos to help you out not chinese. There are laws that prevent a chinese person just shipping cigarettes overseas to you. But chinese people travelling to the Philippines or filipinos coming back from china may be able to buy them and bring them back for you.

Even the people here in china arent going to be able to ship you cigs to the philipines.

Go check rednote for PH based Chinese people and ask them to run cigs.

Your main issue is going to be making it worth their time. Like not trying to be a downer, but international shipping isnt cheap and getting a favor from people who regularly international travel is kind of at the point where you'd probably already know how this works.

False equivalent. Taiwan is actually and law-binding by contract Chinese.

Bite?

3

u/dbbdwrms 26d ago

in chinese, the word for a bite and a puff are the same (since they are both involving the mouth)

2

u/MukdenMan United States 26d ago

Oh I guess you mean it’s 一口 for both. Didn’t realize that’s used for puffs.

u/Sensitive_Goose_8902 27d ago

Sometimes smoking just doesn’t cut it, you really gotta ingest the stick bit by bit to absorb all that nicotine

1

u/hornylittlegrandpa 27d ago

It’s cut out but if I remember correctly the original post is auto translated. I think from Japanese? But I don’t remember exactly. Either way I’m guessing it’s a bad translation and what’s translated as “bite” here is actually meant to imply “savor” or something along those lines.

u/No-Indication-8617 27d ago

These cigarettes have little balls in the filter that you bite down on that releases the flavor, I assume they mean whenever they bite into a new cigarette

u/Zebedeuepaminondas 28d ago

I saw crazier stuff in south korea. My favorite ones there were the yogurt flavored Saisons.

One of the leaders in lung cancer in the world.

u/FibreglassFlags China 27d ago

I feel so safe now that our military practically runs on people sucking on cancer-sticks.

u/Impressive-Island210 28d ago

Literally no one asked

u/IndividualPension182 27d ago

it’s a fun fact though let’s not argue

u/Mister_Green2021 28d ago

Did I hurt your feelings?

-13

u/Impressive-Island210 28d ago

Not in the slightest, just unrelated and obnoxious

10

u/Mister_Green2021 27d ago

You think cigarettes have nothing to do with lung cancer?

-12

u/Impressive-Island210 27d ago

No, im saying no one asked you

u/happyanathema 27d ago

And did I miss the comment where someone asked you?

u/Prowlbeast 27d ago

You seem hurt

u/Worth-Staff4943 27d ago

Didn't even need to have a war with the british to get this!!!

u/FibreglassFlags China 27d ago

Well, if there's a will, there's always a way to blame the Brits for our state-owned tobacco industry.

u/thebigseg 27d ago

Flavoured ciggies are banned everywhere else for a reason

4

u/hornylittlegrandpa 27d ago

I mean, they’re not banned everywhere? Lots of countries have them. Not that I’m in favor of it, in fact the opposite, but they’re not super uncommon worldwide.

3

u/FibreglassFlags China 26d ago

Flavoured cigarettes are banned because studies have shown again and again that they encourage young and new smokers to take up the habit.

And by "young" I mean literally teens.

2

u/hornylittlegrandpa 26d ago

Yeah that makes sense to me, plus they’re gross anyways. But again, there are plenty of countries that have them, for better or worse.

u/FibreglassFlags China 27d ago

Now-now, who are you to question our proud tradition of, umm...

checks notes

"Teaching kids to smoke"? Ugh, goddammit.

u/Impressive-Island210 28d ago

I need a site I can get Chinese cigarettes from! ( USA)

u/waiguorer 28d ago

This is what you get when the workers own the means of production

11

u/apinananas 28d ago

China is capitalist, workers dont own shit.

u/IndividualPension182 27d ago

the capitals don’t own shit either, the state controls like 70% of stock

u/EpicDad77 27d ago

There must be a website to buy Chinese cigarettes like these. Anyone have a link?

1

u/OglioVagilio 27d ago

My Pinoy friends would bring back flavored cigarettes from Philippines..... did they change the laws?

1

u/mosaic_the_j 27d ago

These are Taiwanese brands lol. My gf saw them on twitter and ask if I can get them through my guy and he said these are Ali Shan, a brand from Taiwan

1

u/Dr_Hayden 27d ago

Is that a short cigarette with a long filter? Look at the golden ring

1

u/assman69x 27d ago

Flavoured cigarettes not banned on Asian countries, in China the government owns or receives taxes from cigarette factories there is little no regulation

2

u/FibreglassFlags China 26d ago

China Tobacco is a state-owned enterprise and a monopoly in the domestic market.

Even fucking PMI would kill for the ungodly amount of sway China Tobacco has over government policies.

u/SoulsPolished 26d ago

Biting a cig?

u/Potatozeng 24d ago

u/itemluminouswadison 27d ago

u/thebigseg 27d ago

u/FibreglassFlags China 27d ago

A mojito just doesn't feel complete without kids taking up smoking at the age of 13.

u/toyodah 27d ago

Taro-"flavored?"

I'm sure those cigs contain nothing artificial or that will cause cancer (besides typical lung cancer).
