I quit smoking nearly 30 years ago. This series of vintage ads is one of the few times I've felt the urge to have another smoke.
You gotta stop these, man. Seriously. Addicts never completely recover. One ad is fine, but this is, like, 3 in a day! You're killing me, over here.

You put it in a very funny way.
He might move on to just posting old heroin adverts to fuck over other addicts.

Opss, sorry I just post a new tobacco ads.
-
Oops you did it again, you played with my brain, made me smoooke again. Oops you gave me lung cancer, and emphysema, and I diiieed!
Tee hee

They are so visually appealing. The ads too.

Fr it high key feels like a corporate shill on a shoestring advertising budget reposting old slop, fuck these make me want to smoke so bad.
-
God I feel you. When did you stop craving smokes? It's been like 8 years for me and I still crave them occasionally. Hell, I still get the odd dream about smoking some nights.
Though even with that said, I actually enjoy looking at these ads. But maybe I'm just masochistic.

I was one of the lucky ones. Quitting wasn't hard; I just went cold turkey. In the past 25 years I've smoked maybe 6 or 7? Half of those, I was out in Singapore with a bunch of sales people from my company, and seriously, they just kept offering them and eventually I smoked a couple. But, I've never been prone to addiction, thank goodness, because I have no willpower to speak of.
For me, it's situational. At first, it'd be after dinner was the worst cravings, but also seeing people light up in movies - only in movies theaters, though. But just random. The last time I had a craving was probably 6 or 7 years ago... until this series of ads. And it's been bad, because I mainly smoked Camels, and Lucky Strikes when I lived in Germany. If these ads had been for Marlborough, or some other brands, it wouldn't be so bad, but OP'd been choosing my favorites.
Of you're 8 years out, you can do it. Especially if you stay away from situations where people offer them to you. It's way easier, for me at least, to not buy a pack than it is to turn down a friendly offer.
You know, I never dream about smoking. Maybe I use to; I don't remember. But good luck! You're going great.

Why are they eating salad between main course and dessert? Has the conventional order foods are eaten in changed over the years?
Not like it really matters, I suppose. I eat dessert first sometimes :)

Depends on the culture, Italians will traditionally serve each "component" as a seperate dish

I think my lungs just failed.
-
Well, now I want a Waldorf salad
-
And a pre and post salad Camel, it clears the palate and aids digestion.

Is there any study said that smoking help your digestion ?
-
Yes, found it, from John Hopkins here Smoking and the Digestive System
First sentence is "Smoking can harm your digestive system in a number of ways. "

Are they actually suggesting you smoke 5 cigs over the course of a meal?
Even for hardcore smokers that'a wild.
Soup, cig, turkey, cig, turkey, pause, salad, pause cig, cig and dessert, cig and coffee
Truly a 10 course meal fit for a Turkish sultan! Yes, 5 of the courses are cigarettes, but you might actually taste the salad a little bit before your 3rd and 4th cig.
They also left out how you'll be drinking a cocktail between each course and after every cigarettes, and you smoked a pack right before since you knew you'd be restricted to only 5 during the meal.
then it's back to the office.
I just pay attention to the full text after read this comment.
Well, Camel advice us to smoke while waiting for next dish.
I did try in real life. No good. Smoking then eating make the taste of food go bad. You got to brush your teeth after smoking if you want to taste food again.
Yeah I can't see mid-meal smokes doing much to enhance the flavour of the turkey. The only well advised part of the whole thing is smoking with the coffee after the meal. That's the stuff right there.
Well, the best advice would be not to smoke, but you know.
I did see a security guard smoke a whole package in his 4-hours shift.
of 25 cigs
