Cigarettes

Being in my mid 30's it seems strange to see fags advertised. I notice that they were a kind of fashion accessory, like the cool bloke in the Marlboro adverts. I remember dismissing the idea of not smoking in pubs,"it'll never work" i said......Smoking is certainly on the decline, and in 20 years you will be seeing the last generation of smokers i my opinion.
Think they were even longer n that jaysay.
There was a brand with a small packet attached which said,Four for your friends, anyone remember them? I cant remember the brand.
I some how have a picture in my mind of a woman smoking one using a ciggy holderThink they were even longer n that jaysay.

I remember my Great Grandma having a dog approximately 10" high that was made from Senior Service packets. My sister and I spent hours wondering how someone could weave cardboard into that shape. It must have took them ages to make. Obviously before television came on the scene.
More than a few bob Alan

I remember seeing something made out of ciggy packets can't think where I saw it, might have been in woods tobacconists window, but not sure
Yes I remember seeing a dog made from Woodbine packets, probably as you say John in a shop window but could have been made at home in the long dark evenings before TV.
Passing Cloud, Bachelor, Kensitas, Black Russian, Domino, Peter Stuyvesant, State Express 555, etc, etc. Some of the posh ones came in tubs or boxes & loads with gift tokens so you'd smoke more & get cancer quicker - it did for my dad age 59 anyway!
I can remember Sweet Afton,Airman, Bar One
