Marlboro

My dad smoked for 60 years and it used to bug the hell out of mom. Mom would make dad stand out on the patio to smoke and dad HAD to close the door which meant that he had to stop complaining until he could be heard again. 😂. 2 years after mom passed dad got sick with the flu and found himself in the hospital for the first time in his life which was literally the 2nd time that dad ever saw a doctor. That hospital stay scared him and after he was discharged he never touched another cigarette. Dad and I had lunch together today and at almost 83 he’s the picture of health….a healthy man who misses mom something fierce. I told him again today how proud of him mom is…

I never could put hot smoke into my lungs and get pleasure out of it so I never smoked.

I’ve never smoked, with that said Pall Malls are a budget cigarette by todays prices. Pickup a woman smoking anything much less cheap Pall Malls and you are definitely getting laid!

Camel non-filters and once in a while Lucky Strikes. Rolled my own for a while, Bull Durham

Reds in a box.

There's a special place for the famous Marlborough Men.

Thats one reason to carry in the front shirt pocket....so the tobacco will be humidified from the body.

Back in the late 60's it was LSMFT or Pall Mall but preferred unfiltered Camels. In the 70's changed to Marlboro due to the perceived notion a filter was healthier. My Daddy did Tarleyton and L&M and emphysema got him in 1988 which was the year I quit. Doctors convinced me that Copenhagen was likely more harmful than cigarettes due to the extreme nicotine content so I quit that in 2011. Since addiction is a lifetime long fight...I finally gave in and now puff on a pipe and have a daily cigar. I don't inhale on purpose.

Looking back I kinda think those L&M etc. cigarettes were nothing but a sham to cover up inferior tobacco and perhaps even some toxic chemicals. Just tear the filter off one and try it!

Smoked a neighbor's dad's Pall Mall & Camel filterless. Didn't mind a bit. But always preferred Marlboro reds and then later, whites.

i started smoking when i was 12yo. it got to be habit when i was 16yo. it was Winston Lights till i got to 27 or 28yo. then it was Marlboro Reds till i was 39yo. it's been 12 years since i fired it up, ok, i had a stroke and i quit smoking and drinking. at the time, it was like $5 a pack. now, i don't know, $8 or $10 a pack? no thank you!!!!

Quit in 1970. Tried em all. Mostly Marlboro or Kent.

Hate to tell you guys but there is a special place for all of us. Some just a little sooner for some than others. Quit smoking 30 years ago but every once in a while an urge comes over for a cigarette. I don’t do it but the thought is real. Edk

Well, this post certainly helps explains your ramblings in the Ukraine thread.

ftw,

At your age, you might as well go ahead and indulge!

You get them doctored up in the 'hood with the angel dust?

Yeah, that makes sense.

My Dad smoked Pall Mall until he was 41, when he died of cancer. Still remember riding to Domino’s, our neighborhood grocery store, and buying Pall Mall’s for him.

Marlboro for me on and off until I was 50. Have not smoked in nearly 12 years.

Malboros, then to Camel filters, quit 40 years ago. Couldnt smoke today, BUT, still love the smell of a fired up Camel.
