Camel lights

The name for camel's light cigarettes before they were forced to switch the name to "camel blues." This switch was required by a bill passed in 2009 which banned the use of the word "light" in cigarette advertising, because it conveys the sense that a "light" cigarette is safer than a regular one. There is generally a consensus that camel lights and camel blues are the same cigarette, but some die hard camel light smokers insist that it is altogether a different tasting smoke.

Young guy: Hey, would you like a camel light?

Old homeless guy: Are you kidding me? Those aren't real camel lights, they stopped making those in '09. Camel blues burn much faster and taste like chemicals. They aren't even close to the real thing. Yes, I'll have one.
