The Good Ole Days, When Tobacco Wasn't Evil

[shimrra]

I remember back years ago, when you were at the beach people would be smoking all over, i was there last weekend for the first time in years and busted out a black and mild and felt like a criminal (didn't stop me though LOL)

i was nice about it too, i was way over by the boardwalk, not under the roof of the building, away from everyone else, but i kept getting glances. really made me wish i had my big honking rembrandt to toke on while i was there

there was a time the U.S. Goverment stood out of our living rooms

Funny thing, we had freedom back then...the only thing we were scared to death of...was the USSR.

I mean after all,....it was a place where everyone worked to support the government.......and in return the government provided support for all the people.

The only problem was.......the government told them what they could do..and what they couldn't do.

The Nanny government wants more and is working harder than you realize to achieve it.

Just be sure to do your part at the voting booth in the future if you don't want

to have a lot more "good" memories in the future.

Great video with Samuel Seymour. Another example of a long lived PIPE smoker!

I remember back in the early '60's my grandfather giving me a quarter to go to the corner store to get him a pack of Lucky Strikes. LSMFT
ps. he lived to be 91, smoked Luckies and Camels 'til he was 89.

Shoot,.....it wasn't that long ago you could smoke in your hospital room

When I was in high-school I used to work in Central Supply & Receiving at St. Vincent's Hospital here in Birmingham.

I was given 6 or 8 cases of square glass ash trays (enough to fill a "hand truck" from BTNB; Birmingham Trust National Bank) that were used in the rooms when they opted for a safer composite plastic tray. I have given most of them away over the years but I still have two. I keep one in the kitchen on the stove for a spoon rest and the other is still in use in my bathroom.

"We" was pretty limited back then and it wasn't so funny. 8O
