I don't partake, myself, but I do know that the marketing department of British American Tobacco are the kinds of people you can trust. Anyhow...

Never made me want to take up smoking but if it did, by gum, it would have been one of those (depending on the image I was trying to project at the time).; May 19, 2008 at 2:36 PM

my favourite cigarette ads were, of course, Malboro Country.

Being a pony mad girl and now a poverty stricken, horse owning grown up, it goes without saying they would be my favourite.

My second favourite were the ads that showed a guy with a cigarette holder that had two ciggies in it. something about the "smoothness of Menthol and the satisfaction of regular tobacco".

I can't remember the brand in that particular ad.; May 19, 2008 at 4:43 PM

I was a forty a day girl until I gave it up ten years ago.
