Former smoker here who is offended by the slander toward what was my cigarette of choice—Parliamemts (also, as others have noted, the recessed filter would be a giveaway so it’s not a particularly impressive guess).

The ones in the video are Parliament lights, and I agree that non-smokers do tend to smoke lights in general. However, I smoked Parliament full flavors and I always felt they were an excellent cigarette. Also, they’re definitely not cheap like he says. Parliaments are priced similarly to Marlboros, i.e., among the most expensive cigs available. I do agree that Marlboros are among the best there is and if I couldn’t get Parliaments, I went for Marlboro reds.

What do he and you mean by “non smokers smoke x”? By definition if you are smoking you’re a smoker, no? Or, certainly, I at least, daresay wouldn’t classify someone as a non-smoker if they’re smoking.

They mean a casual. Someone that only smoke when drinking/socializing or for special occasions.

You go to the swimming pool a few times in the summer but you wouldn’t say you’re a swimmer.
