My uncle smoked Marlboros back in the 90's when they had the Marlboro Miles on the packs. I got all kinds of swag from him, soft sided coolers, nylon rain suits...

They were at tiger bar all the time. I didn’t smoke but would get the free packs for friends.

No. Cigarette girls in clubs are different from these girls that do the promotional stuff. Cigarette girls are just like bartenders who work at the establishment.

You obviously have no clue as to how much money is in cigarettes.

Not sure if it's true but I used to hear that they sold the info to health insurance companies so they can jack up your rates. Might be bullshite.

We haven't talked in 24 years but I tracked you down on social media because I was wondering if you’re suffering any chest issues?

At NASCAR races they used to toss out free cartons of cigarettes. That’s like a $70 value now.




Yeah, but man Winston's were always trash.

Try to get life insurance, your premiums have been impacted by admitting you were a smoker in your early 20’s.

Hi Sally. We haven't talked in 24 years but I tracked you down on social media because I was wondering what the scam was with the painted whore camel girls like yourself. Can you tell me how the org chart worked, and how the money flowed? Would be cool to catch up with you over a cup of coffee some time"


Underline ‘Whore’ and put it in all caps

Really drives the point home

But I can't figure out what the scam was.


I am far from smart, but if I was using the information you provided us, I would say it was either promos or they were collecting people's information, possibly both.

That information is pretty valuable to companies trying to target customers.
