I have some English friends that still call cigarettes 'faggots'.

I think you mean fags. Faggots are something completely different (they are food).

You are completely correct, and I have updated my post. They're English, so I don't listen to them all that closely.

I can understand why they do it, but it always strikes me as silly. As soon as you change the preferred word, the new word will become just as abused and mocked because the people themselves are the objects of scorn.

This was what I was thinking as well. People just need to stop being dicks to each other altogether. Until that happens there will always be a new bad word.
