I've got 3 old cartons in the back of a drawer, and now I'm sure I'll never smoke them. In fact, I'm sooo sure that I decided to treat myself, and ordered a Reo Mini 2.1 today.

Meanwhile the old analogs aren't getting any fresher, and they cost major $$$. I could have paid for half of what I spent on my Reo setup today if I had never bought them.

I know plenty of people that still smoke, but my conscience tells me to just throw them away versus contributing to someone else's habit. Is there any good way to recycle old cigarettes?

I had the same problem. Do I toss them or what- 6 cartons of cigs. After much debate on the ethics of it all I donated them to a Homeless Shelter. They've got much bigger issues so...

Light them all on fire on the FDA steps if they "deem" e-cigs to be tobacco products?

Take 1 cig out of each pack and put in a Blu disposable in its place, then give them away?

(If you want to go with the "make your own" route, I don't think that's been recommended for cigs, only cigars or snus, but look up "Tropical Bob" on YouTube. He had some make-your-own ideas involving tablespoons of pure pg and cigar segments....)

The smokers that you know are still going to be buying them. Sell them to someone you like and use it as an oppurtunity to tell them about vaping. Who knows, maybe they will turn around and resell them and want to learn more about vaping?

Or sell them to someone you hate and let them die a long slow death. :evil:

Throw yourself a "I've quit smoking party". Light a fire and every time you take a puff from your PV throw one cig in and say to your self i just saved my self this much time on my life and even have your guests toss some in too. Then when there all gone you can feel a sense of accomplishment that you were able to toss them with out temptation or smoking one. And in the process you could educate your friends and maybe save someone else's life.

Bad to pass them on. Search ecf for the home recipe using oil, baking soda and a cople other things to isolate and remove the Whole Tobaccco Alkaloids and add them to your vapes. A project I want to do eventually. OR you could try some of the Matural extraction Tobacco for flavor fun. Bad karma to donate cancer sticks

But, good karma to give them to someone that's so broke that end up going without food just to have cigarettes.

That used to be me. Don't be wasteful. People are going to smoke anyway. By throwing them away, you also are part of someone contributing that much more money to BT.

Sorry to be a wet blanket. But, I just hate to see throwing away that much money when others are scraping together pennies. It makes my chest hurt.
