I really do. But it was killing me and wayyyy too expensive so I quit. Hopefully not too late. Those Chesterfileds look yummy lol.


My grandma had an old Life (I think. maybe Time?) magazine with a cigarette ad in ith that featured an Olympic marathon runner. I lol'd.

Swell tasting!

I liked Marlboro red box but every few weeks would get a pack of Camels to mix things up. I liked their taste but they ended up hurting my throat more. Micky must have been more manly than me if he thought they were mild.


My mom told me plenty of times her doctor recommended she smoke a cigarette every once in while to keep my birth-weight down. She was pretty tiny and they worried I'd be too big. I don't know if she was joking with me or not.
