Why do certain "groups" of people generally smoke a certain type of cigarette?

This is something i've always been curious about... [b][u]In my time working retail, i have noticed:[/u][/b] -African Americans typically smoke Newport -Asians typically smoke Camel Menthol Silver -Caucasians typically smoke Marlboro Gold -Hispanics typically smoke Marlboro Red -Hipsters and Hippies typically smoke American Spirit -Trashy people typically smoke Waves -Older White Women typically smoke Virginia Slim (Purse Pack) Obviously it isn't always this way, but most of the time this is pretty accurate where i work. Has anyone noticed this? And if so, [b]why do you think this happens?[/b] [b][i]If you're a smoker: What do you smoke?[/i][/b]

      • People tend to be creatures of habit & many will stick to the brand they first try! Combine that with social acceptance ie if your peers smoke a specific brand you're more likely to buy that brand so you "fit in"

          I work in retail too and I've noticed that black people usually get newports, but most everybody else gets marlboros, then trashy people buy our cheapest cigarettes

        • Im Persian so idk where I would fit, but I smoke camel crush or #9's. And my fiancé smokes newports but he's Italian. I make him smoke camels cuz I don't like newports. And I don't like buying two packs. Tehehe. But I think it's about the taste? And how strong you want it. I think of it like coffee.

          You actually are right. I worked at a gas station for about a year and a half and 99% of the time blacks would buy something menthol and Asians would often buy Camel Marlboro

          From what I've seen that is spot on. My dad smokes marlboro blend 27. My pseudo black grandparents smoke newport menthols. And my grandma in Georgia smokes Virginia slims.

                • [b]As he lights an American spirit He asks how I can smoke such shit I say there's nothing like chain smoking GPC cigarettes 'Cause any smokes will kill ya But these will make you feel like it.[/b] I sit back down, on the parking lot curb And remember back to February The trip to Hartford. When five minutes ago He was passed out on the staircase Trying to walk to his apartment but not making it all the way. And now he's driving us 100 miles an hour down the interstate Another beer in his hand Swearin' we won't be late. That was before everyone moved to New Mexico They all left a couple of months ago Until the day my friend When I sleep on the floor of your van again I'll be waiting in this parking lot And in my dreams, I am dirty broke, beautiful, and free My hands clenched in a fist, and my face in a smile, after hitching too many miles. We aren't revolutionaries, but we are the revolution. And sometimes I think that the whole movement, it's just me and you And maybe we'd all be better off if that were true 'Cause then at least we'd know where we stand And we could tell our comrades apart from the man But if the world isn't that simple Maybe this town is at least And if I'm not marching with them to war, I'm sure not marching with you for peace Class traitor? What -blam!-ing ever! I'm just another middle class kid, too. But if I'm not good at changing, I'm good at self loathing So I'll class hate myself with you. May our only occupation be not having a job And may the only cocktails that we make be molotov May that day be now, and for as many days after that as we know how It starts in this parking lot, and in my dreams, I am dirty broke, beautiful, and free. My hands clenched in a fist, and my face in a smile, after hitching too many miles.
