Smoking!

Most smoking ads are just horrifying.  Case in point:

Marlboro, 1960s






and one more!



Zeus cigarettes: Now with Ejector!  Oh, and a 100% markup for the ladies.  You're welcome.

I bet Peggy Olson is behind this. She learned at Don Draper's knee after all.

LOL, of course she is! Who else? :D

Really, if smoking is a problem for you and makes you worry, why not quit?

All very rational, but truly spoken like a non-smoker. It is SO hard to kick tobacco. Nicotine is insidious and has the ability to make your body create new receptors for it when you indulge. So there are horrible addictions to kick and then there's tobacco. I've looked at this from both sides now (20 years smoking, 16 following not) so I'm not trying to apologize, I'm really glad I quit. But I only did after waking up in the hospital after a week long coma. I had tried before, and I'm not really recommending this method, but that's how I was finally able to quit: sleep through the end of the physical addiction and then have a whole heap of other issues to take your mind off the psychological addiction thereafter.

I know, of course, that smoking is horribly addicting and that it's nearly impossible to stop smoking, but ah, the failure of the interwebz! I could hear the sarcasm and mock flippancy in my own head, although it doesn't successfully translate to the screen. I actually had the lies the tobacco companies told their products in my mind when i wrote this. I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience-- coma, my God.

Everybody sing with me:

I'd like to teach the world to stink
And smell like nicotine
I'd like to buy the world a smoke
And make it cancer-y.

Okay, it needs some work.

I guess now we know what happened to the ozone layer.
