Cigarettes of The Beatles

[noveleiro]

During the early sixtees they all smoked Red Marlboro's.

[SamsonOff7]

0:16 is my fav pick, George & Ringo look like rock n roll.

[SURFNEWSTV]

@fleshtooth07 shut up! Maybe it was worth it. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy!

[fleshtooth07]

GEORGE HARRISON DIED BECAUSE OF SMOKING.

-is that cool huh?

[124slowhand]

It DOES look cool when they do it!!!

[cheeriosinabowl]

Of course, these pics were taken during a time when smoking was acceptable, and nothing thought of it.

Now today, it's a different story. They (Beatles) do not look cool here at all. It just looks dumb on their part.

[afrobeatle10]

1:54 best picture

[jillzi7]

nobody could make smoking look more cool than these guys..seriously...

[noodleworks14]

1:28 oh ringo,. Hey where did u get the last picture?! Those are some sexy beasts right there!!!

[emilyluvsdabeatles44]

Ringo and George are always the ones smoking.....

[emilyluvsdabeatles44]

2:13. Cutest picture of john lennon Ive ever seen. I had to pause it to stare at it for a while. I never even thought John was that attractive.

[lilmizzallyfull]

Those were some lucky cigs!

[richardsfinalfantasy]

They make smoking look so cool. I wish that I were one of those cigarettes. :)

[Shad0wSpill]

0:06 & 2:13 John is..gorgeous, sexy, perfect T-T Look at that hair! Don't you just want to stroke it? <3

[SamsonOff7]

@ 0:16 is that Ringo & George.? Wheres John & paul.

[greetsfrombasel]

with the mocronee finger.

[beatlegirl918257]

i want  a cigarette

[weegeeluv3r]

were they smoking malboros?

[okok103]

@weegeeluv3r yes

[randycasey99]

I don't know which one smoke the most...but I believe it would be ringo

[TheBestLoser001]

A tribute to the cigarettes the Beatles used. XD :D

[Vitally14]

A lot of people say smoking ruins a singing voice. The beatles definitly disproved that myth

[nachodaddy]

@Vitally14 So did Nat King Cole & thousands more. How did rollingstonesgirl99 get positive votes? What a hell-hole of mob rule our nation & the world. has become.

[DaDa2Phlux]

Smoking a fine natural cigarette like a Sherman -while you are taking a break from an intense period o' creativity in the studio , two or three wild & wooley rounds of sex or a big fattening meal is more than cool - it is the perfect ending.There is a price however ,but now the radiation from various reactor mishaps is already in the food- so forget thse Trojans and start feeling really good again.

[ajay999999]

Whos that girl with George & the cigar?

[houdini2097]

I think they also smoked because is the stress of the music and consertuse

( I thinks that's how you spell it ) .

[peace2baby]

Alas, at that time it was THE cool thing to do, although the guys had been smoking a long time before they were discovered. A bad habit, but hard to break.I don't know if Paul still smokes. George had quit but it was too late.

If you never start, you'll never have to quit, kids.

[NOLEE89]

@CodyMacCarroll indeed :D

[ilovePAULMcCartney17]

something in the way they moves..attracts me like no other lover

[ilovePAULMcCartney17]

love the young beatles!!! love 'em 4ever!! rock on!!

[Arey1992]

1:57 Ringo looks pretty shmexyyyy. Just sayin'. His hair, his lips (slightly open), and goodness gracious.. those eyes! .. and I like a guy with a camera:) and Ringo's not even my fav. Beatle.

I'm pretty sure I'm addicted.

I DON'T CARE.

<3 :)

[xTurnOffTheLightsxX]

SMOKE.

[supraliz]

I'm never going to smoke because that's what killed George. :-(

[Fluffermufferify]

I didn't know John smoked but beside that fact, he is hot hot hot! I wanna date him he's so cute!

[BrettDixonMusic]

I need a cigarette now.

[JohnyLennon16]

a lot of songs are influented by smoking cigas or dope....

so without that we wouldnt have songs like she said or Girl....

[Beatlelove18]

They look so hot doing that even tho it's bad for you haha

[themillenia]

When I first got into the Beatles, I was watching one of their vids and I said to myself when they were smoking, oh that is so cool. Then I slapped myself and said, what am I saying. Only the Beatles could influence me to do such a thing. They're the only guys who looks cool and sexy doing it.

[DarkDreamyAngel]

does anyone know what brand of cigarettes they smoked?

[lourc00]

@DarkDreamyAngel  Malboro!!..... : )

[DarkDreamyAngel]

@lourc00 thanks a lot ;D i thought they were marlboro red, but i wasn't 100% sure! thank you!!

[RankielGuitar]

wtf paul isnt made for smoking :O

[NonStopRocker]

I dont know which amazes me more...that you actually made a video about this...or the fact that I watched it...!

[aidenbaill]

wish it where those times...could smoke everywhere at anytime...

[SuperStray27]

i guess this video proves that indeed you do look cooler smoking

[jonathansomic]

1:25. Jay from The Inbetweeners.

[rollingstonesgirl99]

i hate smoking, i mean i cant stand the smell, and it just looks horrible. in my head when i see someone smoke im like..idiot. but i must come clean, for someone soo anti smoke, the only time it ever looked extremely hot and cool is when these guys did it. only them, and no one else <3 :D

[TheDorr71]

@rollingstonesgirl99 They were SO bored being cooped up all the time.Plus,the hideous press and the assine questions.Like George said,"They gave us money,we gave them our nervous systems.."

[rollingstonesgirl99]

@TheDorr71 i totally agree. they just had to try new things, they felt so trapped. i cant blame them, theyre are soo much pleas for help in their songs. especially when john wrote a song. good point ;)

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

@rollingstonesgirl99 not james dean? or kurt cobain? or shit...there's so many other people that made smoking look attractive.

[rollingstonesgirl99]

@TheBackOfTheBoat  yeah i guess, but i dont really get into them as much as the beatles. i dont know, something about the bealtes that made it look so free, cool, and awesomee!!!! :D when i see other rockstars smoking i think of them being high, hung over and looking like idiots. but the beatles were really humble and just made it look fun and happy. idk, just my opinion. to me, just the beatles ♥

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

@rollingstonesgirl99 Beats heroin.

[rollingstonesgirl99]

@JeffersonDinedAlone ha sure does!

[ajay999999]

@rollingstonesgirl99 Everybody smoked pre 1980

[rollingstonesgirl99]

@ajay999999 most did yeah, but not everyone could make it look sexy ;)

[zinger52]

Wow I never noticed such proliferation of the cancer causing ciggies, did they also get a kick back from the tobacco industry

[kingrunnisfilms]

they quit smoking now

i think 1980s all of em quit

back then people didnt really know what cigarettes could do

[SamsonOff7]

Whats the name of this song?

[SamsonOff7]

I WANT A CIGARETTE NOW !!!

[BeatlEPMJo]

Love the song, love the pics and most of all love them soo much!!

PS: they make smoking hot lol wow

[marleysgirl100]

if i saw paul smoking i would grab it and smush it! :D

[theemmers15]

i think 0:18 is in hamburg because george looks very young and if u look ringo is there with is pre beatles beard and the guy in front of george in rory stone, who led the band that ringo was in b4 the beatles and who ringo went 2 hamburg with

[parvazc93]

Inspiring ... so very inspiring :-P

[rachelbsays]

I find it so odd that they smoked. I meann pauls mom had lung cancer and then george died from it. Dont smoke kids!

[haras9]

@rachelbsays Agreed, but Paul's mum died from breast cancer. But as you say smoking is bad!

[missenglishdu39]

i dont usually like smokers but i can make an exception !!!!!

[chaplinshouse]

i never started smoking but if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me. thanks Beatles!

[danthomastherocker1]

i get a weird feeling every time i see George in this video

[ElectricalBug]

how sexy looks john at 2:13 - 2:15 <3

[Msemospongebob]

@ElectricalBug i want that pic as my wallpaper!!!

;)

[germino777]

everybody smoked back then so it doesnt really matter

and look ITS THE BEATLES they could do whatever they want

[unclejuniorsoprano]

George died of cancer, but it wasn't smoking related. Ringo was always sick as a child & spent most of the time in the hospital. Then, he began to smoke. Now, he's nearly 70 & is strong as an ox & nearly as smart as one too.

[ovechkin100]

@unclejuniorsoprano yea im amazed ringo is alive

[1967mustanggta]

Thank God I had the chance to a free man who enjoyed a cigarette anywhere but the theatre. Since the queers are out of the closet - that's where we go to smoke now.  One publicly accepted fag at a time I guess.

[70sman4ever]

@1967mustanggta Right on brother! Let's light up for that!

[PUPUCIENTO]

Cigarrettes are cool, they look so rad with them and I don't care if they are unhealthy, it's just the pose, the mysterious aspect that brings smoking into the picture.

[ajay999999]

I hate ciggies but love Beatle photos --- even with fags

[Nereidaperla]

00:04 - A expressão dos olhos de John Lennon faz-me tremer ! ... Ele é incrível ...

[Shad0wSpill]

@Nereidaperla lol O mesmo aqui. Ele é tão lindo ...

[lirfrank]

man, I'm glad smoking isn't considered cool anymore

[MasterKnuckles]

how old is george at :18? maybe 20? and lol @ ringo

[NOLEE89]

@MasterKnuckles I think he is less then 20 in this picture. taken in 1960 or '61, I don't know...

[joefixit14]

@NOLEE89 george was 18 or 17 because remember he turned 21 in like 1964

[altersachse]

@NOLEE89 All photo´s are later than 1963

[CBeautrelet]

@NOLEE89 If it's taken in 1960, then he's 17... He joined The Beatles at 14 anyway (I think so)

[NOLEE89]

@CBeautrelet Ringo joined to the Beatles at 1962, and then he wasn't beard in early years ( before that he had) so I think the picture was taken before he joined to the boys, because he has beard in the picture...what do you think? :)

[CBeautrelet]

@NOLEE89 Are we talking about George or Ringo?

[NOLEE89]

@CBeautrelet about Ringo

[1west72ndstreet]

@NOLEE89 love yur vid makes me want to start smoking then you can start.

[1982pencil]

@NOLEE89 That picture was definitely taken in Hamburg, so he was 17. He joined the band when he was 15 (so in 1958), but he followed them around and sat in when they were missing a member for a few months before that.

[emmaexplosions]

@MasterKnuckles 17 or 18. Ringo's there with the beard, and George doesn't have the mop top. My best guess is17.

[gili1484]

@MasterKnuckles he seems to be 17, if you look at ringo you notice he has a beard, and young ringo with a beard says it was when he just joined the beatles which when george was 17 and ringo 20..

mean... the pictures was taken at about 1959 -1960

[JoeMamaNewAccount]

@MasterKnuckles He was 21 in that picture. He is opening 21st birthday cards in the picture.

[Beatleboy62]

@MasterKnuckles Seeing as that's Rory Storm in front of him, and George started dating his sister after their second trip to Hamburg, I would say that the pic is from 1961 or really early 1962.

[satanicmajesty67]

@MasterKnuckles 21 you morons. In 1964. it even says "21" on the birthday card.

[PolythenePiggie]

@satanicmajesty67 Idiot, they were on the 0:18 picture... tss...

[jillzi7]

@satanicmajesty67 lmao

[polobiu]

John is smoking Winston only.

[TheChrisNong]

this is why everyone else smoke ... sad

[bjkatt7]

Normally smoking turns me off, but they make it look so sexy.

[souldado]

Waht a paradox, while some people are supposedly very spiritually inclined and become vegetarians, but on the other hand they smoke weed, regular tabocco joints and sniff in other toxic xsubstances claiming that is less karmatic. Nonesense, they still are polluting the temple of God which is their body and making a fool out of themselves. The Beatles took it for granted, and they really don´t look as great as some people think. Their music, however, had a beautiful message of peace and llove.

[MrARV]

there is nothing wrong about smoking cigarettes!!

[Kruelwanderer911]

It's so strange how they aged so gracefully... even while smoking. Also how Paul's voice has lasted so long after smoking.

[anna26396]

its so bad for them but damn do they look good!

[starfish419]

i love how most of the pics are of ringo smoking :P

[SomeKindOfKirk]

Pretty lame that they've got this much pitures whilst smoking! Though I can't say shit about that, there aren't many pics that I'm not featuring a cigarette... Gauloises taste good unfortunately

[ZackTheGopher]

@CodyMacCarroll But not as faggy....

[geremebuendia1]

@CodyMacCarroll My Father smokes six packs (120 sticks) per day but his a vegetarian

[geremebuendia1]

may Father smokes 6 packs a day but his a vegetarian

[xlexbabiix]

I know this has nothing to do with anything but I think Linda got better looking as she got older.

[degrassigrl33]

so SHMEXY smoking

[ganja52gurl]

i don't think that all of those were cigerettes...

[beatlecraze0]

2:06 is sooo FUCKING SEXY!!!!!!!!!!

[pokemonperson2468]

wtf! at 0:21 there's a 21. did geaorge barely turn 21. he's to young to smoke! it was the 60's tho

[MrDarthPancake]

it is not entirely there fault that they smoked because people didn't know what it could do to you PLUS it was hip back then

[johnpaulharrisonstar]

0:45 stuart sutcliffe???

[dietdr97]

@johnpaulharrisonstar yep thats stuart

[Slipknotsicz666]

rofl im like the ringo, my cousin, sister, and friends all smoke and i smoke way more than them.. my parents have smoked since like the 60's and 70's and i almost smoke as much as them XD ps i love the beatles

[brecre]

They smoked TO much. Every video, or picture 50% of them there smoking. Its horrible. George would still be with us today if he wouldnt have smoked so much.

[MegaBeatlesgirl]

i hate men that smoke but paul. he looks soooo HOT smoking!

[xicclol]

They smoked Marlboro and Marlboro only.

[bkthin]

@xicclol john smoked gigante too.

[lennonrevolver]

that makes it cool

[melchomp]

i really like that photo of john at 2:14 for some reason. it just really stood out to me. :]

rip george&& john..

[blade25242524]

ehh it was the sixties everyone was smoking a pack a day

[StrangerInMoscow101]

lord jesus!!!!! 60 cigs a day???

[princess13a]

[greetsfrombasel]

@princess13a Drive My Car

[kingofallwhites]

This is fucking stupid

[googoogajoob258]

its pretty bad that theres so many pictures of them smoking you can make an entire video out of it... but who cares! there hot XD

[McCartneyfangirl]

this makes me want to snach the cigarettes out from them and say,"NO! THATS BAD FOR YOU!!!"

[BeatleFreak97]

i h8 cigarettes, but its hard not 2 love the boys even when they r killing themselves ! (no joke: George Harrison died of throat & lung cancer & a brain tumor)

[nafruito]

It's horrible that they smoked so much, but hot damn, they looked good doing it. D:

[beatlecraze0]

@nafruito

more like GORGEOUS!!!!!!

[jameshodgetts1997]

@nafruito well you can't really blame them. They didn't know the consequences in those days, Well not as much as we do now.

[gili1484]

@nafruito its the beatles, everything they do looks good...

[comateensnyc]

"All the Beatles smoked incessantly." - Harry Benson, Beatles photographer.

[bleachno9]

everyone smoked back then, who cares

[SpartanB22]

@bleachno9 that's what they said, but they didn't realize it was harmful

[peacockbass1966]

I wonder if Paul and George still smoke ciggies.

[geofite]

George died of throat cancer that he got from smoking.

[ThePatrick787]

George died in 2001..

[supercat1997]

2006

[ThePatrick787]

@supercat1997

[OroRosa9]

You mean Ringo. George is unfortunately dead.

[Korwia]

that lat picture of them always kills me...ringo's too cute for me.

[NatWolff43562325461]

yay

[DaddyClb]

One very famous shot missing is the picture sleeve for the 45rpm of "I Want To Hold Your Hand", in which Paul is holding a fag (British slang for cigarette).

[savoytruffle66]

Should have played "I'm Sooo Tired"--I'll have another cigarette

[FaganRoberts]

The Beatles smoked those sissy filtered cigarettes. REAL men smoked unfiltered back then. Camels!

[Ibanezhb123]

FUCK YEAH

[200wingfilms]

@FaganRoberts In the early days the boys smoked Woodbines, an unfiltered cigarette. They also enjoyed the unfiltered Park Drive, Peter Stuyvesant, Gauloises, and Gitanes brands, the last of which John purportedly favored for the sole purpose of deepening his voice. In fact, during their first U.S. visit they could be heard making fun of the latest in "filtered cigarette technology," playfully referring to Kent's "Micronite" filters as "Microknee" (whilst ironically smoking filtered Marlboros).

[FaganRoberts]

Very interesting feedback. Thanks much for your time and info. (Former Camel unfiltered guy here) Fagan

[200wingfilms]

No problem, I'm a bit of a nicotine connossieur. Good choice in cigarettes too, man. After all it was our nation's doctor's preferred smoke!

[gian426hemi]

you know what kind of cigarettes smokes the beatles??? tell me!!! all!!! paul at the david letterman says we having smoked peter steverson cigarettes or something like this..but i want to know more informations

[thegirl44]

Look up, "Beatles Marlborro Cigarette Commercial" and "John as read by Cynthia Lennon" on this site, gian.

You'll find your answers there.

[kcscene0]

i can't believe Ringo smoked 60 cigarettes a day. Thats roughly a smoke every 15 minutes. And he's not even the one who died of cancer

[StrawberryTheCuteCat]

@kcscene0 i read in a beatles book that wen they met bob dylan and they tried the cigarettes, it said he didnt pass it around for everyone else to try it he kept hogging the thing! it also said that his giggling went on into hysterical laughter... that scared me. its like i wanna go " NO UR 2 SEXY FOR THAT!!" XD

[kcscene0]

@StrawberryTheCuteCat they weren't smoking cigarettes, they were smoking weed

[beatlecraze0]

@kcscene0 ringo looked the HOTTEST smoking!!!!!

[krissyjeshi]

@kcscene0 How do you know he smoked 60 a day? Just curious.

[kcscene0]

@krissyjeshi i saw it in some random interview a while ago. not sure where.

[krissyjeshi]

@kcscene0 Thanks anyway cause thats a lot!

[ovechkin100]

@kcscene0 yea that amazes me aswell

[MsMoonTheLoon]

I'd love to smoke, just to be a little bit like them

but then I remember what happened to George...

[Garry074]

haha paul is my favourite and he smokes the same cigarettes as me :)

[gian426hemi]

what brand of cigarettes smoke you and goerge???

[gian426hemi]

what brand smoke paul and you??

[Korwia]

i love this..but i'm still not smoking. i would if it was harmless though of course just to be like them :D

[AngelBunny2133]

2:15= cute jhon

[PvtGaryRoach]

LOL 1:28 . Ringo is the most epic person alive

[earcandyfilms]

Great film...celebrate freedom of speech!

[mrstevehartman]

@earcandyfilms So, Ill celebrate freedom of speech. Life is FAR, FAR, FAR to complex for there not to be a creator ! It wasent the Bible that taught me that, just a simple observation of the things around me ! I dont believe in " honering " the dead really. But I do want to remember my Father and Grandparents to some extent ! Well... thats love for ya, always tripping you up !!.......

[earcandyfilms]

Oh great...the fucking Bible and smoking...la de da...

@earcandyfilms Arent you the one who says your an athiest ?? Arent you the one promoting freedom of speech ?? You sound like the A.C.L.U. Welll... say anything you want to, but.. dont mention a creator or god or whatever. Thats offensive to my ears !! Well, BOO HOO!! If YOU have your freedom of speech and beliefs or whatever than SO DO I !! An
