September 18, 20187 yr I was three years old when that came out so it's hard for me to blame big tobacco for my getting hooked on cigarettes. I have no one to blame but myself. Great find jo, thanks

I wasn't even an itch in my daddy's pants for nearly a decade. I took up smoking knowing full well the dangers so I don't blame big tobacco for me smoking that decision is completely on me, however doesn't mean they don't make me angry... they basically pedal illness and death. They do make me really angry, how do they justify to themselves the fact they are basically legalised drug dealers. I seriously have big tobacco in the same camp as asbestos companies like Hardies and CSR.
September 18, 20187 yr I was 17 when this was aired....I was already way addicted....with 6 years behind me ... I hate them too...with a passion...
September 18, 20187 yr I remember starting to smoke when I was 17 with a friend of mine. We both started because it was the cool thing to do I guess. We were also going to run away from home together and go to Florida and live under a pier by the ocean. (That never happened of course)! But we both became addicted together when still in high school. I blame no one but myself for getting hooked. I know big tobacco has had some pretty aggressive marketing tactics going on but we all wanted to smoke for other reasons regardless of what big tobacco was telling us. It's much better now for the younger people coming along because society in general looks down on smoking almost everywhere. That's a huge factor I think.
