I was going to smoke when I was younger cause it was everywhere in the 70s and 80s all my friends and most of my family smoked. But thank goodness my father hindered that. He used to say Son..listen to me Son..look closely at that Marlborough package. Avoid that and live healthy and as clean as possible. Thank goodness I wasn't paying to kill myself with that dangerous product. I would bet none of the tobacco giants allow their kids to smoke.
