I remember those ads, especially from the magazines… the smokers would be smiling with a black smudge under their eye (supposedly a black eye) allegedly because they were fighting over it. Women too…
I always wondered: who was actually physically fighting them over changing cigarettes?
Nowadays, you might actually GET a black eye over cigarettes, so… ;-)
Kent had the Micronite filter, Parliament had the recessed filter, Tareyton had the split filter (half regular and half charcoal), Doral had some kind of weird plastic chambered insert.
Be very careful! Children believe what you tell them. One child was on the verge of tears when she asked her mother if she told a lie, would a lizard really come and eat her gizzard?!

Wikipedia informs us that the Lombard family is Italian, Grandpa Joe’s side, and Texan, Mom Ellen’s side.

Tareyton Cigarette ad reference, WOW! That’s old! That reference was old back in 2010 when this strip first ran.

Mum used to get annoyed because it was “Us Tareyton smokers” instead of “We”. Us do what?
