Reminds me of the anti-smoking campaign using animals. They did look cooler.
shalafi@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Well, that backfired.
KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes. Especially the monkey. It looked so cool I use that one as an avatar in some games.

kayos@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I wonder what he’s doing now. Probably in a ditch smoking meth.

We have these pictures with warnings printed on the packs. Some are disgusting shit like rotten teeth and lung operations, but there is one of a child that inspects a cigarette. Every time I see that one, I have to think how that kid looks like a little version of Putin, but maybe I’m just crazy.

see it, cannot under it

I really wish it wasn’t unhealthy. It looks so cool in old videos. And also the esthetics of a lit sigarette in an ash tray producing a line of smoke rising to the ceiling.

Pretty sure Don Draper made this ad.

I miss smoking
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I don’t miss smoking, because it was so costly and I felt and smelled terrible. But I do miss the effortless social interactions it led to all the time.

nothing that drinking can’t fix

This is the one thing I always felt that I missed out on by never being a smoker.
Sarmyth@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m generally against “sin taxes” but I have to admit that the $2 bump per pack after I quit smoking made it easier to not look back. It’s now about $5 more (I think, I haven’t actually looked for a while.)
After 18 years of smoking, I am glad I quit.
Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Me too, however I miss it less frequently as time passes.
Still hits you when you least expect it, though, it’s a deep seated addiction.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I quit and it never appeals to me anymore. Unfortunately, that’s because I switched to vaping and it worked way too well, which was the entire point. Quitting vaping will be a bitch.

Is it just me, or does she look GINORMOUS compared to that child? He looks at least 3, but is the relative size of my 5 month old?

Maybe he’s a newborn but the smoking has aged him horribly
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 month ago
I see that too

It may be child actor laws so they had to take a 2 or 3 year old and make them look as young as possible.
Most babies in film are twins because they tend to be born earlier and thus look younger when they can first legally appear in a commercial film.

According to a 12 year old wanting to be seen as an adult…

I believe I was in sixth grade when that album came out.
First of all, it used a whole lot of synthesizers, which were pretty new technology at the time, and I felt like I was living in the future when I heard it.
As to the album cover, it somehow didn’t register with my that it was a baby smoking.
Rather, it made me think of teenagers smoking in the high school bathroom.
Motley Crue’s Smokin in the Boys Room came out a year later, so I don’t think that influenced my mental image.
bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Dude, synthesizers were not new in 1984. Also that was a cover song Motley Crue did. Originally released Brownsville Station in early 70s.
saltesc@lemmy.world 1 month ago
When I was 15, my girlfriend’s mother was appalled that I had no idea who Motley Crue was, but I knew all the other bands she mentioned.
I look back now and imagine it’s like meeting a teenager who knows Green Day and Oasis, but has never heard of Blink 182.
