1 Bozo Even as a smoker I disagree with this article.You would be better off smoking toilet paper.Detail Report Abuse 2 Gee Zhongnanhai was listed as No.1 in the top 10 Chinese brands in Japan a few years ago.It was a surprise to me when I saw the list but I guess Japanese do like smoking toilet paper, haha!e cigarette neo classicDetail Report Abuse 3 Wufnu I really like Zhongnanhai cigarettes; I prefer the 5's but most people at my office smoke the 8's.e cigarette rechargeable batteriesAs far as 10RMB-or-less packs go, it can't be beat (at least in WuHan) and is about as close to authentic "Marlboro Lights" you're ever going to find in China.e cigarette pembroke pines fl

I hear they do sell Marl Lights in China but I've never seen a pack, sadly :( Detail Report Abuse 4 Cough Zhongnanhai are the most popular with foreigners because they taste more normal.Other brands are either too chalky or toxic tasting.magasin e cigarette segreThat said the new Zhongnanhai green tea flavour smokes (the light green pack) taste positively chemicalised.Still after a few bevvies, they all taste the same :) Detail Report Abuse 5 Helgi after miscalculating my financial situation in China I began smoking the 10′s, 4 kuai pack.At first they felt a bit dirty but I started to grown on them and after I left China I asked a friend of mine to bring me back a carton, cause I just loved them.For the price you are paying, they are actually not that bad Detail Report Abuse 6 kano japanese do not like anythink fake chinese make and chinese cigs are shit i quit smoking in china but the air pollution is worse than smoking,,,yes its true read about it outside of china,,, Chinese are horrible people and racist.

They alway make theats and nasty comments most of them are just bluffs every company threatens you if you work in China so will landlords ect.But you can threaten them too.every school has to pay bribes to police even legal ones.So threaten them ...report them to visa office for employee illegals,,educatiion department ,,tax office ect.. They will at least have to pay another bribe and there boss will fire them police love to get bribes before national holidays corruption does carry life or death penalty,,,aroun 200,000 rmb Detail Report Abuse 7 WestLakeGal If you are so unhappy with China, why don't you leave?I feel sorry for you that you are such a miserable person and I'm sure you are a miserable person everywhere you go.I'm sure if your Chinese employer learns about your misery, they will be happy to end it for you.Detail Report Abuse 8 eastlakeman the tired old argument why dont you leave is quite offensive, dont you know that?21st century - people travel around and live in places.

the fact this country is riddled with deficiency - for no other reason than to save money - is something a lot of people who come here just cannot come to terms with.that is why forums like this are useful TO EXPRESS OPINION!Detail Report Abuse 9 HANK THE YANK Go home & suck your mommy's titty's you jap bastard, the world still don't trust japanese, your race of people are so evil, Detail Report Abuse 10 Hank Go home you jap bastard, Detail Report Abuse 11 Phil Omg this article is ridicullous, next week article : How to choose your cancer Detail Report Abuse 12 aroberts42 This "article" is rediculous.I love Phil's comment, "next week article : How to choose your cancer."Not only that, you didn't even answer your own title.You didn't discuss anything about taste, quality, or anything else that would help a person choose the "right" cig.It is just a list of the top 10 "famous" brands.But you also didn't even use any sources.

"Famous" in what way?Most popular with kids?I'm also bothered that echinacities would run an article that promots smoking.The negative health effects are fact and shouldn't be encouraged.(If people choose to smoke that is fine, but it shouldn't be promoted).A better article would have been about which Chinese cigs are "safer" in regards to amounts of tobacco, niccotine, and so on.I have often wondered if smoking Chinese cigarettes increases chances of lung cancer as opposed to cigarettes sold in countries with much higher quality control and health and safety standards.That would have been an interesting article without actually promoting smoking.Detail Report Abuse 13 Cough Hey man, here in China we dont have the same PC attitudes as those in the west - your not in the states anymore: smoking is cool here, in the same way that we can call people fat and its ok :) Detail Report Abuse 14 Cough Hey man, here in China we dont have the same PC attitudes as those in the west - your not in the states anymore: smoking is cool here, in the same way that we can call people fat and its ok :) Detail Report Abuse 15 Tim The article does not promote smoking but merely comments on which brands are the most.

Zhongnanhai is the most popular with foreigners, as they taste the least like a Chinese cigarette.We are all adults here and free to make our own decisions.Do you really think an article like this is going to encourage a person to start smoking?Detail Report Abuse 16 johnjohn The article only refere to the price of cigarettes, there is no real survey.Articles are really useless on this website.Really no needs to promote a drug.Yeah but no, smoking is not cool, chinese cigarettes are very strong and harmfull and it s difficult to quit.Cigarette is the first cause of death in china.Detail Report Abuse 17 Raging envoy This article is ridiculous.We shouldn't encourage people others to smoke.It is a general knowledge for everyone (not all chinese) smoking kills.It is irrelevant to talk about which cigarrete brand is better than other.Detail Report Abuse 18 Pushkin There can be fewer things more stupid than smoking cigarettes and cigars!

Kiss a smoker and taste the difference!Detail Report Abuse 19 jacko If you want give your kids lung cancer good luck to you , you don't seem to put much value on your children's lives in your country, you bunch of fuckwits, Detail Report Abuse 20 christy flanagan i do not believe that smoking is killing people unless you smoke 100gigs a day.in Ireland we have a saying, "you are what you eat" What's killing people is what food you eat and the amount of food.Now obesity is killing people, too much food and not enough cigs Detail Report Abuse 21 Rain It seems smoking is linked not only with cancer, but retardation too.Detail Report Abuse 22 hamash Irish retard Detail Report Abuse 23 David Great news girls if you think you would better with no TITS start smoking,in Australia the hospitals are so busy treating women with Brest cancer through smoking, so girls remember smoking = no tits Detail Report Abuse 24 missy This comment is better than the article itself!
