Are they trying to say that a commitment to your favorite brand of cigarettes is like a marriage?

Geez, what a cheap wedding gift. Whatever happened to giving bath towels?

I dunno. Have you seen the price of a carton of cigarettes lately? Makes me glad I'm not a smoker.

I know people who are more faithful to their brand of cigs than to their SOs.

A *lot* of ads around this time were focused on the message of "marriageability". Girls who get married use THIS face cream...girls who want to be married use THIS deodorant creme...you'll never find a husband if you don't use Ivory soap... etc.

So it doesn't shock me that they're saying that smoking THIS brand of cigarettes somehow ties in with being married. After all, isn't a gal's biggest ambition to be married?!

Well, that and have babies. Actually, I remember seeing some baby-related ads on the exhibit's site.

Frank: Hey John, you should marry Susan.

John: Didn't she murder her last two husbands and make furniture out of their bodies?

Frank: But she smokes Chesterfields

John: Hot Dan the mustard man! Where's my tux? It's weddin time!
