I'm happy, rich, intelligent and......I'm a smoker ( that's why I'm happy

)

Wrong...

... that's why you only think you are happy.. but in fact you could be a lot happier (and richer !!) if you would quit the filthy habit

Yep... but in that case it works the other way round... since you first smoke and afterwards your health deteriorates

This "shag" has a totally different meaning in Dutch/German(?) than in English.

Finnish roll-your-own tobacco is very strong and that's why Finns usually use filters in them. Self-rolled cigarettes without filter are commonly called "karvaperse" (=hairy-ass).

After 6,5 years I don't smoke anymore. July 31, 11:58 PM was my last one. Just for the money. It costed me €4,60 a day and that's just crazy

Just to let you all know that everybody can do it : I stopped smoking on 01.01.2004 after 42 years of heavy tobacco life. Feels now like the best thing I ever achieved (besides giving birth to children).

in German it doesn't mean anything, what about Dutch?
and in English it can have different meanings

In Dutch "Shag" stands for lose tobacco that you roll into a "vloeitje", a thin small piece of paper that together form a sigarette ("een shagje") to light.

As I'm told this is a typically form of smoking very popular in The Netherlands (and has nothing ... no nothing ... to do with a joint or drugs).
