Use the quote tags for text that is from another source, whether it is from a website, a newspaper article, a blog, another poster's comments, etc.
Do not use the quote tags for your own words.
If your post consists of content that comes from another source in addition your own comments, put the material from the other source in quote tags. You should also include a link indicating the source of those comments, unless it is from another poster where that is identified within the quote. The comments in your own words that you might add do not have quote tags.
Here are a few examples.

It amazes me that anybody can even afford to buy cigarettes these days, the taxes make the cost so high. I can see where something like this would be quite popular.

I'm glad there's no needless worrying about some perceived social stigma.

Scores of tobacco retailers in the U.S. are taking advantage of a federal tax loophole to offer deep discounts on roll-your-own cigarettes. But the practice is attracting scrutiny from regulators and cigarette manufacturers.

https://onebrow.blogspot.com/This is a bit of a weird subject, but it's something that I'm suffering from just now. I remember that back in my first year of university, I fell asleep on the train quite a lot. It was never something a meant to do, rather something that just happened. I've never actually seen falling asleep on the train as much of a problem, I'm not scared of missing a stop as you always wake up whenever the train comes to a halt, nor am I scared about some perceived social stigma.
