And strangely, implicitely approved by the seed. My mother is on her death bed due to cigarrettes and still keeps smoking.
Ft. Lauderdale:
I think 1980 ...everyone stopped smoking just about. or early 80's anyway.
Sorry to hear about your mom.
Seth:
Cigartettes were approved by the Seed.
Millions of people everywhere were hooked by the cigarette habit, Seed folks and other folks all included. Hell even the FDA approved of them for the longest time. It even took decades for them to be outlawed in resteraunts and other public placed. If you REALLY wanted to argue the case it would not be inappropriate to state that the damned government was negligent in not making them illegal due to the health hazard involved. Corporate self interests aside.
Hahah I smoked Kools back then and couldnt wait for the rap leader to light one up. It was always traumatic when a non-smoking person led the rap.
I remember driving through that seminole reservation and totally being disgusted with myself, yet buying that carton over and over each and every week. I hated every minute of smoking yet could not quit. I did about 3 packs a day.
Finally I had a heart attack. The two weeks of cigarette free hospitalization which followed gave me enough of a head start that I was able to continue thereafter without cigarettes and I have never wanted to go back.
For me, in a way, it was perhaps the same as giving up the drug culture lifestyle. ( I was no weekend warrior). I hated that also but just didnt know how to go about changing it until someone else showed me how.
I have honestly never had any desire to smoke cigarettes since that day.

Thanks Ft Laud.
I quit at 18, but I will always remember getting packs of malboro red box from home, and also requesting the white tees with the pocket top. Then At 14, I trotted all around with the cigs in my top pocket. Pretty much everyone had cigs and a white tee, hair parted on the side, and jeans. It was, in 1973, the unofficial seed uniform for the 'guys'. Since the seed approved, my father didn't say anything. It seems Seedlings were almost alone in the ability to smoke cigarrettes in front of our parents.
Ironically, it proved to be far more dangerous than drinking or smoking dope. Go figure.
Johnny G:
I make home oxygen systems for treatment of smoking related diseases (emphesema etc.) I can't believe how many are sold.
I am also amazed that those that come in for repair are coated with cigarette residue ... go figure :???:
