I just like watching these because they are from my youth. I only smoke 3 cigarettes a day sometimes and sometimes none. I went from 3 packs a day to 3 cigarettes. I don't totally quit because of weight gain and I really like them now and then. I do roll my own because of the cost. Rolling my own a pack cost about 75 cents.
@aba607 A lot of people here in France roll their own organic tobacco. I did for years and found it really satisfying. For about 25 years I smoked about a pack per month, maybe. That's the way to go.
I remember free samples of cigarettes given out in NYC well into the '80s. Also, gift packs of variety "fancy" cigarettes, often for business clients. But here's the weird thing -- after getting pneumonia so often, a doctor advised me to smoke 1 organic cigarette per day, no more. I did that for over 25 years & not only did my respiratory health improve, but my asthma disappeared! I smoked five cigarettes per week, one each weekday morning. It was a little hard to find them organic, tho.
@CuteCatFaith I went to the races in Richmond Va. and up until it went from Winston to Nextel, they handed out cartons of Winston's. Now the hand out snuff and chewing tobacco.And they use to say that if you had a cold smoke menthol cigarettes.
@aba607 People who eat a lot of raw foods and who walk barefoot need to chew tobacco annually to purge all the parasites they pick up. A little backy in a meatball has always been the way to worm your dog. The catch is to smoke very little and not get hooked. We are allowed to grow our own tobacco here in France for our own consumption, just not sell it. France produces most of all the tobacco it needs. I am just so happy to have that asthma and pneumonia stop!
God I love camels. I know. I KNOW Cancer is a risk..Blagh, Cigarette health is a complicated topic I will not go into right now, seeing as how I've had a "Few" glasses of wine. Have a good day. I hope I don't get Cancer. Cigarettes make me feel good...ooh yeah. Have a good night y'all.
@InfurnusChaotix if you think about it.....most people die of one of two things ...either cancer or a heart attack even if you don't smoke. My sister had a wierd form of cancer that is normally only found in africa and we live in Boston Massachusetts, so go figure
@inkey2 Bakers in France are prone to lung cancer from breathing flour. It's a known occupational habit. Most of the victims who die have never smoked. Sinus cancer is typical of cabinetmakers, and people in Alsace are prone to an eye cancer since Tchernobyl.
Yeah, Don't make the case that white trash smoke - Thats a joke. Virtually all directors and big stars did or still do smoke. I worked with Mel Gibson and he smokes like I never seen a person smoke. (Funny really) I have several family members who are RNs and growing up knew alot of doctors from the VA and hospitals around here - hell they all smoked. Everyone smoked (but my mom and grandma - it seems) Now tatoos, pitbulls and meth - those are articles of white trash. No offense -
my great grandfather smoked from the age of 12 till the day he died at 98. he smoked pipes, cigars and unfiltered cigarettes. i started smoking when i was 6 and i'm now 27 and i can outrun my dad who quit smoking 7 years ago and works out everyday. i've gotten camels for christmas too.
@SuperBrobo actualy my house has nice white ceilings. i painted my grandmother's ceiling quite easily and without issues. personaly i think alcohol will do alot more damage to a person's health. unlike cigs, alcohol can kill quickly or over a long period of time.
the white trash vibe to your post was uncalled for really. i have lived in trailors and i've lived in $400,000 homes. i live in a college town. a farmboy would be a little closer then white trash, there's several farms around me.
@elcamino01 you are absolutely right......smoking was considered part of being social. Especially cigarettes and Beer or a mixed alcoholic drink. The only people back then I knew who did not smoke were my parents...and they were considered real wierdos for it. I can remember a friend of my mothers really pressuring her to have a cigarette. It was practically "communist" not to smoke in those days
I remember in the 1950s my family giving cartons of smokes with a christmas logo on them. The people who they were given to lived into the 1990s. Its not like cigs kill you fast
"You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner fucking year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny." Alright? So go home and cry to your Daddy. Don't cry here, okay?"
Damned if I wouldn't take a carton of Camels. In the future Doomerica, smokes will be worth more than gold! Roving bands of barbarians...knocking over mini-marts Mad Max-style for the tobaccy!
You know what I got for Christmas this year? It was a banner f*****n' year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said "Hey. Smoke up Johnny."
Well you cigarette haters should be happy. The government has made them all but illegal. Although they are still happily collecting taxes on them.
I think it's time they take some weight off tobacco taxes and legalize marijuana, which I heard is the biggest cash crop in California now, above apples and corn.
Not then, it wasn't! Before the state and federal governments put all these taxes on cigarettes, they were rather cheap. My mom, who never smoked, remembered from her father that he could put a quarter in a cigarette machine and the pack would have two pennies in the cellophane! That's about $2.30 per carton in those days, and even at a 10:1 inflation rate, that's still only $23 per carton today! I ran an inflation template on Wikipedia, and in 1952, 23¢ a pack was equal to $1.90 today.
@CamaroAmx yeah, but it's all relative......people were lucky to make 3000 bucks a year so yeah, maybe you could buy cigs with lost money in your sofa
"So this Christmas, give them the pack of DEATH. Your loved ones will always thank you for f&*%ing up with their loungs. Little Jimmy and little Sussie will proudly follow mom and dad's fugliest example in life"
@CamaroAmx I liked those! What I smoked in the 80's. I smoke cheap ass Pall Mall to be honest. Cant find Luckiy Strike and if I do they are so high its not funny. I was just having fun here based on the Mad Men episode which virtually serves as an hour long commercial for cigarettes.
love the fuckheads saying you'll get cancer. yeah.. after about 40 years of pack a day smoking. An occasional cigarette is perfectly fine and if your parents smoked, chances are you will have some resistance.
oh yes, I remember sitting around the christmas tree watching the grown ups smoke just waiting for the day I could light up too.....then their lips fell off
@frugazz They still do where I'm from. Mind you, I did notice one store in my town selling "holiday" cards instead of Christmas cards this year, so things might be changing (sadly).
smoking dont make every1 die early early m otherfukers i have grand parents that have smoked 20 to 40 a day since 16 and are now in there 80s its a crock of shit if ur gunna get cancer ull get it with out smokin
Did anyone notice the close-up on the cigarette...the film was actually running backwards? The smoke was going into the cigarette. I wonder if this was the beginning of subliminal advertising?
@metaldave08096 Say wasn't that announcer a smug SOB!! He thought he was Joe Cool peddling his carton of death for Christmas! Sad but most people believed his silver tounged crap back then, not me, guess that is why I am still alive!!
I thought from that little pic on the column on the right that this would be Dick Van Dyke. The cast of the Dick Van Dyke Show used to act in Kent cigarette commercials, including some for Christmas. I have an old VHS with maybe 100 old cig commercials, including about a dozen of those.
now its getting absurd...... since the surgeon general has insisted on warnings on cigarette packs the smoking rate in "the USA" has dropped dramatically to about 22% of the population. Anti cigarette propaganda/information is shoved down peoples throats in schools. All you have to do is google "USA smoking statistics and there is endless confirmation of what I have told you. You must be very young not to know this
@inkey2 LOL 22% of the population? Not where I live. You really can't trust the statistics on either side, they both lie so much. The only thing they can agree on is that yeah, cigarettes are bad for you, and then tax the shit out of them. (I roll my own for that very reason; they get around the taxes by calling it pipe tobacco, which is another tax class.) They need to shut up and accept that people make their own decisions, even unhealthy ones. Smoking's still not as bad as obesity.
"I'll bet he bought those for you. I bet those were a Christmas gift. You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner f*** year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny." Alright? So go home and cry to your Daddy. Don't cry here, okay?" - John Bender The Breakfast Club
Ah the gift of Emphysema for the Holidays. You shouldn't have. Wow why not just buy your Uncle a 12 back of Trojans and 40 of St. Ives for Christmas instead.
Show your friends you love them - give them a carton of Camels! Easy going taste; yeah, RIGHT!! They were the harshest smokes you could get! Before Marlboro started doing the "Marlboro Cowboy" ads, these were the cigarettes that you smoked to show how rough, tough and manly you were. Yup, nothing shows your manliness like advanced carcinoma.
Got too many friends on your list? Fed up spending money on them every Xmas? Here's the solution! This year, give them the means to fill their body with noxious chemicals and poisons. No more Xmas list worries!
Y'know?....I'd keep hoping for those Camels in my stocking every year, but my parents were Salem smokers, so that's what I'd find in my stocking. Okay in all fairness, at least they were giving me a Reynolds Tobacco product, the same company that makes Camels. Still, Salems didn't look good when I was playing Cowboys-n-Indians with my kid pals...so I hadta smoke Marlboros on the sly.......
i hate the way people smoke. dam he didn't even inhale. when i smoke i inhale and when i exhale, a whole cloud of smoke comes out of my mouth. I mean, look how he hits it at 0:48
They are still in bars, not sure but some states may have banned them. I know from living in Pennsylvania they are legal here as well as West Virginia.
When my parents had parties in the 60s, along with the bridge mix and nuts in silver bowls, cigarettes would be also set on endtables, sticking out from silver cups. Guests were encouraged to smoke.
There's a lot I miss about the 60s zeitgeist -- pervasive tobacco use is not one of them. LOL

Ah the gift of Emphysema for the Holidays. You shouldn't have. Wow why not just buy your Uncle a 12 back of Trojans and 40 of St. Ives for Christmas instead.

Show your friends you love them - give them a carton of Camels! Easy going taste; yeah, RIGHT!! They were the harshest smokes you could get! Before Marlboro started doing the "Marlboro Cowboy" ads, these were the cigarettes that you smoked to show how rough, tough and manly you were. Yup, nothing shows your manliness like advanced carcinoma.

Don't worry, the list will grow smaller over the years as you started giving only Camel out as Christmas gifts.

Got too many friends on your list? Fed up spending money on them every Xmas? Here's the solution! This year, give them the means to fill their body with noxious chemicals and poisons. No more Xmas list worries!

Y'know?....I'd keep hoping for those Camels in my stocking every year, but my parents were Salem smokers, so that's what I'd find in my stocking. Okay in all fairness, at least they were giving me a Reynolds Tobacco product, the same company that makes Camels. Still, Salems didn't look good when I was playing Cowboys-n-Indians with my kid pals...so I hadta smoke Marlboros on the sly.......

i hate the way people smoke. dam he didn't even inhale. when i smoke i inhale and when i exhale, a whole cloud of smoke comes out of my mouth. I mean, look how he hits it at 0:48
ethanswish123 2 years ago 5
Oh my gosh! You're right. He just puffed and blew out the smoke. He probably didn't really smoke.

Well, if you're an actor who gets a job in a commercial for cigarettes, and cigarettes are nasty to you, you don't inhale.

They are still in bars, not sure but some states may have banned them. I know from living in Pennsylvania they are legal here as well as West Virginia.

Not in Maryland. Our nanny-state General Assembly banned them in all public places, including bars, VFWs, private clubs, etc.

I actually just saw one while I was in a sports bar up in Cleveland. Needless to say I was quite surprised.

I saw one at a pool hall that i frequented for a while. It did seem impractical, all they had was a sign on it that said "MUST BE 18!"

When I was a kid and you and your buds wanted a pack of smokes all you needed was a Quarter and a cigarette machine at your local gas station.

When my parents had parties in the 60s, along with the bridge mix and nuts in silver bowls, cigarettes would be also set on endtables, sticking out from silver cups. Guests were encouraged to smoke.
There's a lot I miss about the 60s zeitgeist -- pervasive tobacco use is not one of them. LOL
