Remember the cigarettes in the C rations?  The lucky ones got the marlboro's.  4 cigs per pack. . 

I always bartered those off to smokers for other C-rat goodies. Kids today think a P-38 was a famous aircraft from WW II. Army guys know different.?

You old fart. How about Puff Daddy??

No just Humphrey Bogart James Bond and Mike Hammer were cool . And Elvis and Sinatra and the Beatles and Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. And Jackie Gleason and Milton Berle and Steve Allen. And on and on and on. 

No need to be so defensive of your millennials in 70 or 80 years we'll see which of your icons have stood the test of time. I'm sure there will be some. Just for fun who do you think the coolest guys of your generation are?

None.

I quit 30 years ago. A few years after I quit my buddy and I would smoke one every year after about three years we looked at each other and says hey do these things taste like shit or what? And that was it.

Good for you. My father quit after about 50+ years, but died of a heart attack anyway just a few years after he quit. I'm lucky I never got interested and in casinos I move away from smokers. Just can't stand the smell. Fortunately Winstar has an excellent ventilation system as well as one isolated end of the casino that has most of the slots of the other areas in a totally smoke free room that requires going up a hallway with two isolating sets of door. Great idea!

I think there'd be a running theme on the type of people that would prefer the old days

If that had something to do with me quitting smoking or Humphrey Bogart being cool I think I missed it.

Here's a cool story for us all. Nicotine isn't the boogeyman. It's the 799 other chemicals that big tobacco formulated into the cigarettes to make them more addictive. Which is why most people can have a cigar or pipe and not immediately want another one. But #capitalism meant that big companies "just had" to figure out a way to make tobacco like crack cause #capitalism. 

In Japan they put nicotine in energy drinks because it's a better stimulant than caffeine. It doesn't agitate ur heart and theres no crash like from caffeine. 

Our brand of capitslism has really kind of deprived us of some good shit. Lije in south America tgey give cocoa leaves soaked in lemon or lime to tourists going up tall mountains to help them combat altitude sickness. And we all know what they're getting from the cocoa leaves right? 

Nicotine is very bad for your heart dipshit.
