Future headline: CVS won’t sell cigarettes, is dispensing medical marijuana
Hey, can top that. WE (teens) used to smoke Camels and other popular brands on “ The Smoking Porch “ between classes, after lunch, before and after school, provided by our High School ( “da Porch” ) that is . . . circa 1972-1985.

I never smoked, but the smell wafting from the cig factories on a steamy summer evening was a really enjoyable experience.
My Dad would pull the filters off he would pinch them and run is thumb nail though the paper all in one motion and smoke away
My grandpa was a Lutheran minister and he smoked unfiltered Lucky Strikes also. His seventies were painful.
We had a “designated smoking area” between buildings C and D in HS. 1977-80. But there was more than tobacco smoked all over in the back parking lot.
Bourbon.
At the airlines, some employees had a place they would all go to smoke.
They all had this crazy bond - I stopped by with someone and felt like an outsider.
Now, at bunco, some girls break out their e~cigs and it just looks weird. My best friend and I joke we are going to bring candy cigarettes and sit with them.
Camel Shorts !
Unfiltered are Everywhere!
My dad, a 30 year Navy vet, smoke Pall Malls his entire life. Him and his overfilled Zippo lighter.
I can still hear the mechanical “clink: as he would open it, he would tilt his head back and to the side to avoid burning his hair (it was so overfilled it gave off a huge, broad yellow flame)
As he sucked in the first drag lighting it, his eyes would close to slits as he inhaled and simultaneously exhaled a stream of smoke from the corner of his mouth.
Then, with a flick of his wrist and a more solid mechanical “clack”, he would close it and stick his lighter back in his pocket.
Three packs a day. It got him in the end with a stroke, but...he knew the danger.
So you believed this and work in this job for 20 years? I guess that make you an pretty evil person. Great mind set towards your job and customers. I hope you're happier now.
Does anyone here remember Chocolate Cigarettes?
I loved those things when I was a kid. Never desired to become a Smoker because of them.
That's what home oxygen supply companies and casket manufactures say, too.

Oh, you smoked alright. And to this day you disbelieve.
Just like I did, when every year as a youth I scraped the tar off my parent’s bedroom windows with a straight razor....just as I smoke today, after typing this with one hand while holding my smoke in my left.
Correlations are a b**ch.

I have actually known non-smokers who have had strokes——quite a few,in fact.

I knew people who would just tear the filter part off.
