new day new cheap tricks....

today's drug manufacturers have unhappy Americans running to their doctors to ask if such & such a drug on a TV commercial said it would possibly change my life and I should ask my Doctor....

edit:
oh yeah then the next tv commercial is an ambulance chaser wanting you to sue over the same new drug that was on the previous commercial

Remember these well, have been a smoker for 50 years until 3 months ago, hope I can keep it up, ain't easy.

My personal favorite: doctors that smoked like chimneys.
The good old days. Cough, cough!

Lets see here........Washington smokers pay about $8.50 a pack for smokes. 2 packs a day = $17.00, Every 30 day month = $510.00, So a measly $6120.00 or so per year..........I think I'll stick with a $10.00 cigar once or twice a week and buy Colt's with the money I "save"..........

When I was a little kid you could buy candy cigarettes. Me and my best buddy would share a pack to be cool.

Virtually all of the big name movie stars were featured not only smoking in their films, but they smoked in their personal life too.

Although that is why many of them did not live to be very old.

this will date me badly....In kindergarten we sat in a circular table 5-6 kids per table I vividly remember my teacher many times pouring a small mountain of Asbestos powder in the middle of the table adding water to make modeling compound and instructed us to make ashtrays & whatever for our parents

 

[BlackRyder]

Ha! Now that's a double whammy! An ashtray made from asbestos.
