I donât remember if it was an actual Kool cigarette ad or just a mock one for Kook cigarettes that showed penguins smoking, there was a set of cards or stickers that mocked various brand items, I think another cigarette brand was Sailâems better to sail âem than to smoke âem.
Back about this time, Camel used âJoe Camelâas a mascot to promote its brand and attract younger smokers. Joe Camel attracted kids, that is for certain as by the early â90s the AMA said that 5 year old kids recognized âJoeâ more easily than Bugs Bunny, Fred Flintstone or Mickey Mouse. Additionally RJ Reynolds used Camel Cash aka âC-Notesâ, one in each pack, to collect and claim âcoolâ Camel merchandise like fake Wayfarers, Zippo lighters, decks of cards, heck even a leather jacketâŚâŚ. The tobacco conglomerate is a bunch of disgusting corporate tools with stooges still working for them inside the beltway and in CongressâŚ..
Magazine ads for Camels had a picture of a crowd of people, and one guy walking away with his jacket slung over his shoulder. Guess who was the Camel smoker?
In my smoking years we had Marlboro âpointsâ or whatever they were called that could be used for some decent outdoor gear. It was all Marlboro branded but pretty good stuff.
Back when the 100 mm ones came out, one brand had an ad that said âItâs not how long you make it, itâs how you make it longâ. People had fun with that one.
Smoking IS dangerous, as 400K â 500K deaths per year from tobacco related illness prove! But⌠letâs see⌠roughly 330M people in this country, and the CDC estimated in 2021 that 28.3M smoke. 500K deaths is what percentage of 28.3M? About 1.7%, i.e., smoking kills fewer than 2% of smokers per year. Put another way, at 1M deaths every two years, it would take smoking 56 years to kill 28M people. Small consolation if you or one of your loved ones dies from smoking, but still, it provides some context for a more objective evaluation of smokingâs danger. I, myself, smoked for over 40 years, but quit 13 years ago.
Tried it a coupla times when I was ten. Made me puke. Within a year everyone I knew was hooked except me and my mom. Today only me and Mom are still alive.

OhâŚthe choicesâŚI want to not blame the cigarette companies but they seduced us. Now they found a new way. Vaping!
