We used to be a proper country.

Shitty advertising?

A life before social media. Classic times.

Alive with pleasure. Not sure that’s how I felt when I smoked squares.

I know I'm fricked up when I realize I'm smoking a damn newport at the bar with a few black guys. I don't even consider asking black dudes for cigs because 90% of the time they pull one of these things out. Worst cigs ever

I miss the days of unadulterated cigarette smoking too. There was no "smoking section", it was men lighting up where the frick ever. Top of the chain.

Who would miss cigarette ads?

Milestones are never really recognised right away... it takes fifty
or sixty years before people realise what an achievement it is. Take
for instance... tobacco, it was discovered by Sir Walter Raleigh...
and he sent it over to England from the colonies.
It seems to me, the uses of tobacco aren't obvious right off the
bat... and I imagine a phone conversation between Sir Walter Raleigh
and the head of the 'West Indies Company' in England, explaining
about this shipment of tobacco... would go something like this...
Telephone rings:
Yeh?... Who is it, Frank?... Sir Walter Raleigh?... Yeh?... Yeh, put
him on, will you!
Hey, Harry... you wanna pick up the extension?... yeh! it's nutty
Walter again!
Hi, Walter baby, how are you, guy? How's everything going?...
Oh, things are fine here, Walt!...
Did we get the what?...
Oh!, the boat load of turkeys, yeh! They arrived fine Walt, as a
matter of fact they're still here, they're wonderin' all over London...
Well, y'see, that's an American holiday, Walt!!!...
What you got for us this time, Walt, you got another winner for us?
Tob-acco... er, what's tob-acco, Walt?...
It's a kind of leaf, huh?...
And you bought eighty tonnes of it?!!...
Let me get this straight, Walt, you've bought eighty tonnes of
leaves? This may come as a kind of a surprise to you Walt but come
fall in England, we're kinda upto our...
It isn't that kind of leaf, huh?...
Oh!, what kind is it then... some special kind of food?...
Not exactly?...
Oh, it has a lot of different uses, like, what are some of the uses,
Walt?...
Are you saying 'snuff', Walt?...
What's snuff?...
You take a pinch of tobacco... and you shove it up your nose. ha! ha!
and it makes you sneeze? ha! ha! ha!...
Yeh, I imagine it would, Walt! Hey, Goldenrod seems to do it pretty
well over here!
It has other uses though, huh?...
You can chew it!... or put it in a pipe!... or you can shred it up...
and put it in a piece of paper. ha! ha! ha!... and roll it up.
ha ha ha... Don't tell me, Walt, don't tell me. ha! ha! ha! you stick
it in your ear, right? ha! ha! ha!...
Oh! between your lips!...
Then what do you do, Walt? ha! ha! ha!...
You set fire to it! ha! ha! ha!...
Then what do you do, Walt?...
Ha! ha! ha! You inhale the smoke, huh! ha! ha! ha!...
You know, Walt... it seems you can stand in front of your own
fireplace and have the same thing going for you!
You see, Walt... we've been a little worried about you, y'know,
ever since you put your cape down over that mud.
Y'see, Walt... I think you're gonna have rather a tough time selling
people on sticking burning leaves in their mouthes...
It's going very big over there, is it?...
What's the matter, Walt?...
You spilt your what?...
Your coff-ee?.
What's coff-ee, Walt?...
That's a drink you make out of beans, huh? ha! ha! ha!...
That's going over very big there, too, is it?...
A lot of people have a cup of coffee right after their first
cigar-ette in the morning, huh?...
Is that what you call the burning leaves, Walt?... cigar-ettes?...
I tell you what, Walt!, why don't you send us a boatload of those
beans, too!
If you can talk people into putting those burning leaves in their
mouthes... they've gotta go for those beans, Walt!... right?
Listen, Walt... don't call us... we'll call you!...
G'bye!

So black people had Kool and white people had the Marlboro Man?

Thankfully I wasn’t alive or aware then. Looks miserable.

It would have been better for society had they pushed for weed instead of cigarettes.
