Back in the day, ads like these were everywhere. It's no wonder so many of us started smoking. It was "sold" to us as a way to be beautiful and cool. And by the time I realized that it did not make me beautiful and cool, it was too late, I was already an addict. Lucy and Desi also smoked - and made it look cool. They would occasionally smoke one and make it look like it was really just for the pleasure of it rather than feeding their habit.
I fed my habit almost daily for 40 years - it did not make me beautiful or cool. I have really come a long way Baby - in the past 423 days - just in the opposite direction that this ad took me in the beginning.
Congrats to all of you from day 1 to 10,000! We have all come a long way, Baby!
