Then take a “Winston break” with Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble:
In the 60’s, Mom and Pop preparing the turkey, Dad with a cigarette in his mouth, sleeves rolled up, nicotine yellowed fingers gripping the greasy handled carving knife, sweating profusely at the effort. Mom blowing smoke rings at the kids over the sweet potato pie and roast vegetables. Ahh, sweet memories of youth.
I remember those days #2. I also buried both parents and a sister from lung cancer. Somethings do change for the better.
My dad died early of lung cancer around 70 (Camels and Chesterfields, mostly). My mom quit smoking 10 years before my dad died, and died 15 years after he died of mild emphysema and circulatory problems.
My siblings and I probably have some damage from second hand smoke when we were young, but we’re all relatively healthy so far.
I had a great cigar this morning as I walked the dog.
Good idea !
Come to Australia and smoke as many camels as you want 🙂
Cigarettes were everywhere. I can remember airlines giving out little 4 cigarette packs with meals and in Bethesda Naval Hospital the Red Cross would come around the wards and pass out free cigarettes.
Seems like you guys lift every other post from Consumerist.com http://consumerist.com/2009/11/1936-thanksgiving-camel-ad-smoke-after-each-course.html
We smoked a turkey today. Smoking it was easy, finding a bong big enough, that was a bitch…
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Drug Pushers always give out free samples !!! Those purveyors of COFFIN NAILS AND CANCER STICKS ought to be EXECUTED BY FIRING SQUAD !!!
Hornet21, doesn’t matter – one big reason Dvorak’s blog is grrrrreat is that you don’t have to register to post. The concept of being forced to register is communist in style, something America is quickly adopting in so many areas of it’s ways. Another is that the theme is way different than “The Consumerist” as it is more general, not just consumer product related. Now about those Camels (puff puff, ahhhhh) science has well proven that stress kills, if a Camel after a holiday meal de-stresses, that’s saving lives. Do you have a problem with saving lives? Puff puff, ahhhhhh.
I used to smoke Camel lights for 8 years.
I quit on January. Haven’t had a single cigarette since.
Mac Guy – Congratulations man! Keep up the good work. Hope ya feel like a million bucks.
@12 I don’t like their commenting policies either, but I think attribution should be given.
I prefer a Gauloises…
I remember my smoky days as a youth, mom smoked, dad smoked. Dad died, mom quit.
I won’t allow cigarettes in my house and just the stink from my clothing after being in the club is just gross.
No thanks on that one! LOL…. Helps you digest. That is hilarious. Try the e cig for that one!
