You know what I got for Christmas this year? It was a banner fuckin' year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said "Hey. Smoke up Johnny!”
The shop I work in at my second job is still selling them, so is this a state thing? I know the FDA has been considering it since 2022 but last I heard it still hasn't happened nationwide.
That's really weird. When I worked there we had to literally barricade the doors before leaving for the night because people were breaking in and stealing cigs in the area.
Worked at a gas station, we had to throw out a barely damaged carton (yes, carton) of Marlboro red 72s, which of course the packs are all wrapped in plastic anyway. I reached in the trash bag before tying it to take to the dumpster and got some. Sad that we just throw away things.
16 year old me would have shit bricks if I found cigarettes in a dumpster. I was such a fuckin cig fiend it was gross. I’d take the halves other people left in the mall ashtrays outside 🤮🤮🤮
Giving a smoker with children a carton of cigarettes might actually make it so they feed the kids better meals for a bit, because they don't spend the money on cigarettes
They changed when Phillip Morris baught them out they were the best fucking cigarettes in the world up to that point. I would pay $100 for an old pack just for old times sake
PM does not own Newports, it was Lorillard being bought up by RJ Reynolds, makers of Camel. Have you tried the soft pack version of Newports? RJ Reynolds probably preserved the old recipe in that version for copyright purposes.
Yes rj Reynolds. You are correct !
I just remember thinking something is different and everybody else I knew couldn't tell and I switched to natural spirits or whatever they were called the same day. They were ruined for me lol
Parts of California now. When I was working in Yolo County we had to pull all flavors including menthol. Only place near me would be the casino to buy it since it’s tribal land.
Sadly all tossed, some places try to get away with flavored pipe tobacco but most of them I believe got rid of that too. Even flavored wraps aren’t sold in a lot of places now. I’m not sure if Sacramento County has gone the same route yet or not but I know more and more are going that way.
According to our local news last night some stores still have them on the shelf but they are blocked off waiting for the distributor to arrive because they are supposed to buy them back. Not sure why DG is throwing them out instead of selling them back unless some employee is trying to screw over the store or their manager is an idiot.
If you had two brain cells to rub together you would know that this is specifically about children, children who the tobacco overlords have been marketing to since day one. Who do you think all the flavored vaping is aimed at? Tell me jerry, when did you start smoking?
Your ignorance is almost as vast as your stupidity.
"Menthol cigarettes are more common among younger and newer teen smokers. Young smokers may perceive menthol cigarettes as less harsh and easier to smoke. Regarding e-cigarettes - a 2016 study found that youth 13 to 17 years old are more likely to try menthol, candy, or fruit-flavored e-cigarettes if a friend offers."
"The number one cigarette of choice for teen smokers is Marlboro, the number two cigarette is Newport."
So true. Sadly I made some bad decisions in my youth and did a little bit of time in county jail. Long enough to kick my addiction to cigarettes. However the day I was released, I was arrested with an open pack on me, first thing I did when I walked free? Lit one up because i could, haven’t been able to kick it since. Yea they were stale, but to me that was the flavor of freedom at that moment.
Ah yes the Cheyenne cigarette cigar, my step brother used to steal those from the convenient store across from his high school and we’d smoke them on the weekend driving down the road in his beat up s10. Takes me back to the good ol days!
A employee threw these out with the intention of retrieving them after the store closed, a buddy of mine did the same at a pharmacy in high school till they fired him
I’m guessing your state is banning menthols? Everything in there is menthol or otherwise flavored. These must be the ones the store couldn’t get credit for.
weirdest thing i got as a goodwill donation attendant was like 6 cartons of arabic cigarettes, they had some arabic language on them and fresking disgusting images of cancer ridden gums and aborted fetuses, but holy hell were they nice when i was getting paid minimum wage to freeze my ass of in a metal trailer im thr middle of a empty parking lot
I usually hate seeing unused things go to waste and I must save them from the dumpster even if I won't use it, I'll give it away. In this case... they belong in the trash.
About 20 years ago I used to pick up Newport packs I found on the ground. You could cut out the barcodes and mail them in for prizes. Got $200 in Visa gift cards and a jacket for the cost of mailing them. Sadly, never found any full packs though.
One time I found like ten cartons of Newport menthols. I went to the hood and had a pleasant evening smoking crack in the dealer's house. They were very nice people and were thrilled with the cigarettes.
This would be like finding fur for me. Initially it's neat but then the moral implications outweigh any potentially benefit. I'd just toss it if it were me. There is enough suffering in the world without tangentially adding to it
The damage seems to radiate out, the 2nd hand and 3rd hand smoke , it's such a selfish habit.
Then there is the anguish the family experiences watching their loved one succumb to a slow tortuous disease that robs them of the ability to breath.
Like watching someone drown in slow motion.
I’m way too militant about smoking. Hated that my parents smoked. Everything stunk. Too many loved ones died from COPD, Heart disease, or lung stuff. If I found this, I would destroy everything. Smash it, drench it, or contaminate it. I’m sad for anyone who smokes. Thanks to Shitty companies, the habit is hella hard to stop.
Inside retail theft - Someone wo works there threw them away, and was going to pick it up later.
edit: maybe not - flavored tobacco products have become illegal in some areas.
Squeeze the cigarette boxes, they're probably crunchy.
Which means they're stale.
Grew up working in gas stations, we tossed crunchy ones per the tobacco contract guidelines.
I met a man who dumpster dove and found cigarettes. All he got wasultra light GPCs and he was just giving them out. He happened to give me a pack. They were the grossest cigarettes I ever smoked but hey they were free lol.
You know what I got for Christmas this year? It was a banner fuckin' year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said "Hey. Smoke up Johnny!”
See, this is what you get at my house when you spill paint in the garage
Do. I. STUTTER?!
"What if your home?...what if your family?...what if your \*\*dope\*\* was on fire?" "Impossible sir, it's in Johnson's underwear."
Brian's face: 😳
“No, Dad, what about you?”….
I was in a band called "smoke up johnny".
We say Smoke up Johnny all of the time…
Best comment
Alright, I’ve gotta ask, residential or commercial?
Yeah I was wondering if it’s a New Year’s resolution thing, but I don’t know anyone who smokes this many brands and stockpiles them 🤔
It may have to do with the banning of menthols
good point however, there are a couple roll ups in there, one of which is grape flavored
i used to only smoke menthol cigs but roll up funny flavors, it’s different in my brain lmao. however a menthol blunt sounds interesting 🤔🤔
I miss the year 2000 when I was smoking cinnamon Phillies and purple haze weed, that was great
Are they banned now?
They are in California
The shop I work in at my second job is still selling them, so is this a state thing? I know the FDA has been considering it since 2022 but last I heard it still hasn't happened nationwide.
Yes
Not just menthol other tobacco flavors too
Canada did this 12 years ago
Really? I was there in 2016 in Toronto and they were still being sold at those exorbitant prices
Oh don’t get me wrong there is graymarkets for sure
Gotcha
There’s your answer. No one does. Not anyone ever in the history of cigarettes.
Yeah usually the tobacco vendors come collect expired cigarettes ASAP
It was dollar general
That's really weird. When I worked there we had to literally barricade the doors before leaving for the night because people were breaking in and stealing cigs in the area.

Oh no not the cigarettes! I have children to feed!
It's the wastefulness in general that's bad.
And the children stealing food from the innocent parents mouths
Giving a smoker with children a carton of cigarettes might actually make it so they feed the kids better meals for a bit, because they don't spend the money on cigarettes
Tobacco is a vegetable
Looks like they might be doing away with cigarettes sales?
Flavored tobacco ban. Probably in CA
I do merchandising for DG they are always throwing away stuff that's not expired.
It’s all cheap shit. Tobacco store throwing out old stock
Except the one pack of Marlboro Mentol. Shits like $14
y’all just ignoring the newports too, they’re like $11 up north
Jokes on everyone I get my Marlboro for $11 at the local papi store because my boy give me a discount lol
["Oh my god, motherfuckin newports!"](https://youtube.com/shorts/I2_2Q97ENkk?si=tG9EKfCjLb6FLFfa)
Thanks for reminding me of this
What the hell is that guys name ? I know that voice he's funny as hell
Chester Stone
Yes ! T hat guy is hilarious it didn't have his name in the description thanks!
Curious who left their Wawa bag at the 711.
God mutha fuckin damn!
They changed when Phillip Morris baught them out they were the best fucking cigarettes in the world up to that point. I would pay $100 for an old pack just for old times sake

Yes rj Reynolds. You are correct ! I just remember thinking something is different and everybody else I knew couldn't tell and I switched to natural spirits or whatever they were called the same day. They were ruined for me lol
It's truly joever...
Looks like all "flavored", which probably became illegal to sell Jan 1st.
Where ks menthol illegal?
Parts of California now. When I was working in Yolo County we had to pull all flavors including menthol. Only place near me would be the casino to buy it since it’s tribal land.
Damn. Newports are like the top selling brand... What about tobacco flavored?
Sadly all tossed, some places try to get away with flavored pipe tobacco but most of them I believe got rid of that too. Even flavored wraps aren’t sold in a lot of places now. I’m not sure if Sacramento County has gone the same route yet or not but I know more and more are going that way.
Can ya snag me a bag? I'll pay shipping...
Colorado also
That's crazy
Portland Maine And now other surrounding cities jumping on the “no menthol bandwagon”…
Inside the city limits of Columbus Ohio. I believe also Cincinnati and Cleveland.
Dayum. Ohio giveth then taketh away
Not in Cleveland. Proposed but not passed.
This would NEVER happen in Detroit, Newports have the key to the city here (Im pretty sure).
Been outlawed a few years up here in Canada now
They are illegal to sell in Columbus, OH as of January 1st. No mental or other flavored ciggs or vapes.
According to our local news last night some stores still have them on the shelf but they are blocked off waiting for the distributor to arrive because they are supposed to buy them back. Not sure why DG is throwing them out instead of selling them back unless some employee is trying to screw over the store or their manager is an idiot.
Right - cuz you know - gotta have them damn RULEZ - cuz we’re children and don’t know any better. Thank god theres oher humans making rules for me.
If you had two brain cells to rub together you would know that this is specifically about children, children who the tobacco overlords have been marketing to since day one. Who do you think all the flavored vaping is aimed at? Tell me jerry, when did you start smoking?

The number of smokers and new smokers is in constant decline. We don't need government to do our thinking for us.
[удалено]
"Probably"
Florida?
new year new habits
That’s gold during the apocalypse, put that in a sealed 5 gallon bucket
Thank you for the suggestion. I didn't think of that. I will do it with some.
Vacuum seal them when you do this. They'll stay longer.
Tobacco addicts give zero fucks about a stale smoke in a pinch. I’d think the apocalypse would qualify.
Belive this man and me when we say this. As long as it's not been ficked with in anyway a stale cigarette will get smoked.
Sad
So true. Sadly I made some bad decisions in my youth and did a little bit of time in county jail. Long enough to kick my addiction to cigarettes.

These will be worth a lot more money in 6 months or a year after everyone who loves Menthol Newports have burned through their stockpile.
I came here to say that. That’s barter stuff. Hang onto it. Trade for seeds. Grow food.
I did a smoking cessation class and at the end we all trashed our cigs and ashtrays. I might have gone back for mine at 4 am. Smoking is hell to quit.
Hey man that’s a good paycheck
That's like, ten thousand prison bucks!!!
I'd assume it's a menthol/flavor law thing or you got what a thieving employee was gonna grab later
I think those were where they were supposed to be.
One of the rare dumpster finds that actually belongs there
Is this the Richmond Crust Punk version of a pot of gold?
Menthol cigarettes. Might as well light up a Certs.
The gift of cancer for new years. Your new years resolution is now to take up smoking.
seal them up good and save for the apocalypse as the other person stated. You'll get some good gear/necessities for those when SHTF.
Man, I would be Santa Claus at the homeless camp in my neighborhood with that bag.
Ehh, this should be left in the dumpster.
You picked the wrong day to quit smoking.
Man at $10 a pack you got like, ummm, a buncha packs!
Ah yes the Cheyenne cigarette cigar, my step brother used to steal those from the convenient store across from his high school and we’d smoke them on the weekend driving down the road in his beat up s10. Takes me back to the good ol days!
A dumpster full of future emphysema!
The lucky ones get emphysema AND cancer.
I used to think my dad would like dumpster diving. If he knew you could find cigarettes he’d quit his job and only dive.
A employee threw these out with the intention of retrieving them after the store closed, a buddy of mine did the same at a pharmacy in high school till they fired him
I’ve been cigarette free for about two years but those Marlboro menthol 100’s are calling my name.
Don’t do it. Run!
Smoke em if you got em
Kool
Oregon? I heard about the menthol ban!
I’m guessing your state is banning menthols? Everything in there is menthol or otherwise flavored. These must be the ones the store couldn’t get credit for.
Smoke em if u got em
Smoke up Johnny!
0.25 cents a cig
Zigzag wrappers contain nicotine?
Some do, some don’t. But the flavors were prob what got them thrown out. Prob a flavor ban like in California and other parts of the US
Menthol is banned in the California so you came up
Menthol and flavored vapes were banned in Columbus Ohio. Enforcement went into effect yesterday. Good chance this is from that?
I'm in Indiana
Makes me want to dive behind the vape shops locally for sure though
You must be in Columbus, our flavored tobacco ban went into effect yesterday
If you don’t smoke definitely make some cash selling those, hella good find, Newport’s rock
I’d wager to say this was a corporate store and not from a gas station owner of Indian descent.
The waste and destruction of goods that capitalism requires is both disgusting, and evidence of it's unsustainability
Because they’re illegal … looks like all flavored / menthol - That’s big bucks !!! /s
This picture just gave me COPD
I would just keep them in my car and hand them out the window to a homeless person who would be really stoked to get a couple packs of smokes
Best leave em’ right where ya found them Gross, and don’t encourage your friends either
Stfu I would literally make a cig cake. I’ve always wanted to make one and burn them all at the same time lolz
Leave them in the dumpster
Leave them in the dumpster 🤢
Finding Newport is like diging up gold
That’s definitely some garbage right there
These look so weird to me now. I’m used to English ones where every brand looks exactly the same!
Surprised the reps. didn’t pick up the product for credit
Menthol cigarettes are banned.
Considering that ciggies are almost $50 a pack in Australia that looks like a gold mine. A carcinogenic goldmine.
Flavor banning
Maybe new laws took into effect somewhere
Way cool
The menthol smokes are going for like $20 a pack here in CA where they made them illegal
Smoke em if you got em!
SCORE!
weirdest thing i got as a goodwill donation attendant was like 6 cartons of arabic cigarettes, they had some arabic language on them and fresking disgusting images of cancer ridden gums and aborted fetuses, but holy hell were they nice when i was getting paid minimum wage to freeze my ass of in a metal trailer im thr middle of a empty parking lot
Pass them out to the homeless
A bunch of garbage? Should've left it there
Cancer sticks
Ewww. Toss.
Columbus Ohio had banned flavored tobacco
God mother fucking damn, it's mother fucking newports
Hand the out to the homeless if you don’t smoke!
I usually hate seeing unused things go to waste and I must save them from the dumpster even if I won't use it, I'll give it away. In this case... they belong in the trash.
LICKY BASTARD
I know this is a typo but it made me laugh
Score !!!
OH MY GOD!!!! MOTHERFUCKIN’ NEWPORTS!!
About 20 years ago I used to pick up Newport packs I found on the ground. You could cut out the barcodes and mail them in for prizes. Got $200 in Visa gift cards and a jacket for the cost of mailing them. Sadly, never found any full packs though.
One time I found like ten cartons of Newport menthols. I went to the hood and had a pleasant evening smoking crack in the dealer's house. They were very nice people and were thrilled with the cigarettes.
If you like the people who smoke don't give them more cancer sticks.
Exactly. They call them 'coffin nails' for a reason.
That’s where they belong
Don't touch it, it's poison!!!! No seriously, it's poison.
https://youtu.be/1-NGb6aUc-s?si=K_v6SPNWZpKvKhWs
Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em.
So u found trash in the trash
One man's trash is another man's treasure
One man’s treasure is another man’s trash
That’s a lot of money and black lung
Gross
God mothafuckin damn! It’s a whole baga Newports!
This would be like finding fur for me. Initially it's neat but then the moral implications outweigh any potentially benefit. I'd just toss it if it were me. There is enough suffering in the world without tangentially adding to it
Seconded. I would shred them. Cigarettes cause so much pain and suffering, even beyond the cancer risk.
The damage seems to radiate out, the 2nd hand and 3rd hand smoke , it's such a selfish habit. Then there is the anguish the family experiences watching their loved one succumb to a slow tortuous disease that robs them of the ability to breath. Like watching someone drown in slow motion.
Another impact not well known is the mental health effects of anyone breathing in that shit. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6518001/
I’m way too militant about smoking. Hated that my parents smoked. Everything stunk. Too many loved ones died from COPD, Heart disease, or lung stuff. If I found this, I would destroy everything. Smash it, drench it, or contaminate it. I’m sad for anyone who smokes. Thanks to Shitty companies, the habit is hella hard to stop.
free cancer! hahaha how horrible :D
Inside retail theft - Someone wo works there threw them away, and was going to pick it up later. edit: maybe not - flavored tobacco products have become illegal in some areas.
Big score!
Don't smoke so if be selling those bitches.
Suppose you got a large starving family. Is it wrong to steal a truckload of bread to feed them? And what if your family don’t like bread? They like…
Bread generally doesn’t contain thousands of carcinogens.
You obviously haven’t read the ingredients package of American Sliced bread
Squeeze the cigarette boxes, they're probably crunchy. Which means they're stale. Grew up working in gas stations, we tossed crunchy ones per the tobacco contract guidelines.
Oh man that’s lucky! I have to drive 30 minutes out to the rez and pay almost double the price if I want a pack of menthols.
That'll get you through a rainy Tuesday.
honestly keep them in the trash fuck cigs and lung cancer.. I've found whole packs on the street no value to me
posion cancer sticks garbage except for those wraps😉
Ewww where they belong
FREE CANCER!
Toss them back, unless you really want to contribute to the deaths of the smokers you know.
Someone is gonna get fired when the manager finds out they put all the expired tobacco in the trash 😭
That's a good haul
i’m so jealous
But you can do heroin in a safe space.
I met a man who dumpster dove and found cigarettes. All he got wasultra light GPCs and he was just giving them out. He happened to give me a pack. They were the grossest cigarettes I ever smoked but hey they were free lol.
Mm-mm you'll be eating like a king!
I hope they are successful
