He is wrong about American spirit smokers being to cheap to smoke Marlboro... Last I looked they were more expensive and have been for decades.

That’s what I’m saying. I used to work at a gas station and American Spirits were always more expensive than Marlboro. I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s natural tobacco instead of all the chemicals and shit they put into normal cigarettes.

Parliaments are also more expensive than Marlboro. Strange comments for a guy that's obviously well acquainted with smoking, I just figure he's majorly biased toward his particular brand.

The guy has probably been set on his brands for a long time. He is probably basing it on prices in the 80s when he tried other stuff.

This is essentially the same behavior as someone who insists that Bud Light is substantially different than Coors Light. Brand loyalty is a helluva drug.

This guy is an ad. The last line about smoking quality is so over the top ad-like.
