<u+201c>it<u+2019>s like a little present to myself,<u+201d> said waterford man kenneth muldoon, unwrapping a pack of marlboro cigarettes like a child on christmas morning. 




muldoon, 23, is a regular smoker but is limited to smoking hand-rolled cigarettes due to also being too broke to afford <u+2018>real fags<u+2019>, most all the time. 




resorting to <u+2018>making do<u+2019> with rollies that look like the inside of a bookie<u+2019>s pen, muldoon splashes out on proper cigarettes every four weeks or so, or whenever he has a spare tenner in his pocket or if he just feels that his lungs are due <u+2018>a treat<u+2019>. 




<u+201c>rollies are alright, but it<u+2019>s like putting together a kinder surprise toy every time you want a smoke,<u+201d> explains muldoon. 




<u+201c>and they<u+2019>re a nightmare when you<u+2019>ve a few pints on board, trying to put together a cigarette like lego with a filter stuck in the corner of your mouth while you get bumped by people from all sides. so it<u+2019>s nice to just open a pack and boom; there<u+2019>s a smoke waiting for you. open it again, there<u+2019>s another! and another and another! it<u+2019>s just the most magical experience in the world<u+201d>. 




muldoon also states that real cigarettes seem healthier, and are basically good for you if you smoke enough of them.
