So there were funny TV and print ads where smokers ended up crushing their unexpectedly-long cigarettes against mirrors, windows, etc. or simply sported a kink at the end.<br /><br />Guess you had to be there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253387388436808262.post-75090723735303475062013-10-15T16:15:00.030-07:002013-10-15T16:15:00.030-07:00I remember the random magazine images but now real...I remember the random magazine images but now realise, having just watched some ads on youtube, that the images relate to them. Can't help feeling they overthought them. Just should have been some chap, sucking in a deep lungful and then saying: Ahh! bloody lovely. being young and ignorant had its pleasures, did it not.
