- Aliwalla, on 10/11/2008, -3/+142Ah the good old days, when nothing killed us and there weren't sexual predators and terrorists hiding behind every bush.
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -9/+113i have no idea, why the ***** is every ***** website using ***** slideshows!....Cant they ***** use 2 ***** pages at the most?
- sungoddess808, on 10/10/2008, -6/+72Amazing how they used to promote tobacco as if it was good for you.
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -6/+56Ah the good old days, when alcohol was prohibited, birth control was still widely illegal, there were anarchists/socialists/communists/klansmen/gangsters behind every bush, Hitler published Mein Kampf, and Mussolini became Prime Minister of Italy... and that's just the 1920s.
- PorkTornado1102, on 10/11/2008, -2/+49***** pussies. Cant take a little cancer??? Typical Gen-Xers.
- Marlboro Man - d0nkeym0nkey, on 10/11/2008, -0/+44Who am I to doubt 20000 physicians? *inhale, exhale*
- hyankov, on 10/10/2008, -1/+43"Not recommended for children under 6", but they should be fine, though...
- sk11, on 10/11/2008, -0/+39They get more ad revenue this way.
- colourclassic, on 10/11/2008, -0/+26I swear, that kid in slide 5 is flipping me off.
- jggube, on 10/10/2008, -1/+23Wow, smoke cigarettes to relieve sore throats... how ironic.
- oda1, on 10/11/2008, -0/+21LOL 'Asthma Cigarettes'
- TheObviousChild, on 10/11/2008, -0/+18"I don't know what's in 'em, but I can't stop smokin' 'em!"
Louis Armstrong - Vintage Larami Cig ad - cloudberries, on 10/11/2008, -1/+19Pretty cool article. Although why websites like that can't use AJAX for their multi-page image slideshows is beyond me...
- cpsutcliffe, on 10/11/2008, -1/+18Why would that suprise you? There's STILL benzene, arsenic, cadmium, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, ammonia and hydrogen cyanide in the smoke...?
- sap959, on 10/11/2008, -2/+19just got an ounce in the mail?
- cpsutcliffe, on 10/11/2008, -1/+17@Aturaten
Tobacco companies add things like sugar, chocolate and vanilla to make smoking less irritable, this varies between brands, and when burned sugar creates formaldehyde. They include additives like ammonia to increase the addictive power of nicotine. And the plants themselves absorb chemicals like cadmium and arsenic from the soil.
So, tobacco companies aren't intentionally trying to poison us, but they are doing everything they can to make the irritation and discomfort of inhaling deadly carcinogenic toxins as pleasant and addictive as they possibly can.
It's like murdering you, but giving you morphine for the pain. - Myonosken, on 10/11/2008, -0/+15"For more pure pleasure, have a camel!"
This is what I keep trying to tell the local zoo. - reddikilowatt, on 10/11/2008, -1/+15May he rest in peace.
- Ibox, on 10/11/2008, -0/+13just as dumb as we are today, only difference is we now know better, but still smoke. :(
- burrgrinder, on 10/11/2008, -3/+16Because it honestly isn't *that* bad for you. Sure, it's a bad addiction and expensive, but it usually takes 50+ years to kill you and it's not a real surprise when it happens. Other things that aren't labeled "bad" can kill you in far less time (steak, Twinkies, alcohol, cars, etc). Additionally, broadly banning tobacco is stupid. Pipes and cigars are orders of magnitudes safer for you than cigarettes since you're not inhaling tar and CO.
But mostly, I don't want a government controlling another aspect of my life. I'm a big boy, I can think for myself, it's not like it's recent news that smoking things can be bad for me.
Additionally, smoker's cancer is not a societal burden. Look at the tax money they bring in and look how it gets disbursed, they more than cover their own health costs. It generates enough that it provides health care coverage to nonsmokers. - Stevethegreat, on 10/11/2008, -3/+15No 12: Ban on smoking? Let the people smoke and feel the consequences, it has nothing to do with the federal government. You would actually see that it is not the regulation that caused smoking to start becoming out of fashion, but its actual effects and the publication of studies showing that smoking correlates with cancer and heart problems. It's the pop culture itself that weakened the fad, NOT the governments. It's actually demeaning for people (assumingly non-smokers) to call for government to regulate other people's habit with which they happen not to agree.
If you truly are a liberal (lover of freedom) don't call for regulations for whatever you don't agree with, don't be a hypocrite. The meaning of liberty is also the freedom to do wrong, safety nets have nothing to do with liberty, they're authoritative in essence... - Thefatheroftime, on 10/11/2008, -2/+14And ah the good old days when all of what CDHarrisUSF was true AND all the same stuff was killing us then as is killing us now, and there were sexual predators. They weren't hiding behind bushes though.
- Niubai, on 10/11/2008, -1/+12Ah the good old days when I didn't have to work and used to just care about school, football and my nintendo. Almost everything was a reason to be happy and excited. Nowadays, only booze and women get me happy and excited ... :(
- cloudberries, on 10/11/2008, -0/+11I've always loved the old Guinness adverts. No beating around the bush there...
http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=guinness+is+go ... - reddikilowatt, on 10/11/2008, -1/+11Please quit smoking. It isn't easy, but it isn't hard either. I quit after smoking for 10 years, and I have about as much willpower as a sailor on shoreleave.
- wavesmachine, on 10/11/2008, -1/+11...or just have the whole article on one page.
- Farmer77, on 10/11/2008, -0/+9Asbestos was in cigarettes? WTF?
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -1/+1013 pages? blow me
- OiPunk, on 10/11/2008, -2/+11FUCING ***** ***** ***** FUC ***** balls *****!
- InYourHonor, on 10/11/2008, -1/+9Yes sexual predators and Terrorists hiding behind every G.W. Bush
- RyomaNagare, on 10/11/2008, -0/+8sorry to Hijack, but in the last page they actually link to the full blown gallery on Stanford's server.

better image quality and longer descriptions. - ElectroStep, on 10/11/2008, -0/+8Not now Jerry.
- irinotecan, on 10/11/2008, -0/+7Have you learned nothing from alcohol prohibition of the '20s (which lead to the rise of the Mafia), and the War on Drugs? Making it completely illegal isn't the solution; education, prohibition of false advertising e.g. the old fashioned "health claims" of those ads, and restrictions on where you can smoke so you don't force your smoke on people who don't want it (like me) is the answer.
- wavesmachine, on 10/11/2008, -0/+7it's sad, but pretty much every commercial is a lie these days.
- NarcisseDeD, on 10/11/2008, -0/+6Is this Philip Morris smiley lift boy in slide 5 giving me the finger ...?
That would be a great subliminal message, "Philip Morris ***** you with a big smile !" - tian2992, on 10/11/2008, -1/+7It is probably because they die before they get Alzheimer's
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -1/+7I love how the Kent cigarettes had asbestos filters. Damn I'm glad I quit smoking.
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -0/+6That's what the menthols are for ;)
- Ashenfield, on 10/11/2008, -0/+6Wow...Number 6 is awesome..
Changes "Gotta cut Down" to "Gonna smoke up!"
From the looks of the woman shes smoking crack not cigs...:) - kelmaster1, on 10/11/2008, -0/+6ad-less site (source of all these pictures), it's still a slide show but a good one.
http://lane.stanford.edu/tobacco/index.html - prim3, on 10/11/2008, -2/+8hey smoking HAS beneficial effects on your body!
"Evidence suggests that non-smokers are up to twice as likely as smokers to develop Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease."
i just cant live with this risk ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_smoking#Healt ... - Totz83, on 10/11/2008, -2/+8Are ya smokin yet?
- specialK16, on 10/11/2008, -0/+6Please tell me how. Began 3 years ago, smoking maybe one or two cigs a day. Now, maybe from the stress from work and school and having almost half a pack a day, and I'm only 19.
I've seen the videos and the pictures of smoke-related diseases and they are not ***** pretty at all.... I really don't want that to happen and I really don't want to jeopardize my future. I just found very difficult to stop it now. - EmperorAwesome, on 10/11/2008, -0/+6Ritalin.
- nunquam, on 10/11/2008, -0/+6Brought to you by the men of Sterling Cooper.
- OiPunk, on 10/11/2008, -0/+5Yeah, welcome to life.
Mm, booze and women. . . - secrity, on 10/11/2008, -2/+7Many people don't find cigarette smoke to smell bad, especially those who grew up smelling it.
- sadhesati, on 10/11/2008, -4/+9If I want to smoke until I get cancer and drink until my liver is pickled, that is my choice. No one should have the right to tell me that I can't.
- inactive, on 10/11/2008, -2/+7Exercise your right to smoke!
http://www.filthyrichmond.com/2008/06/exercise-you ... - bagelmaster, on 10/11/2008, -0/+5That needed a huge /s
