And if you still want to buy them they cost a stupid amount (I just checked - £15 in Tesco for 20 B&H!), plus there's a huge illustrated message on the packet about illness and death. I can't fathom why anyone still smokes.
I truly do not understand why anyone starts it. It doesn’t provide relief, it just makes you MORE anxious and frustrated when you can’t smoke right away.
I made a conscious decision to start smoking in highschool because all the cool people smoked. I think it was Andrew Dice Clay that finally pushed me over the edge to start. I thought he looked like such a badass smoking cigarettes.
Honestly though, if this is what got you to start, then you already wanted to. This should be viewed the same as the mullet.
Like I said, he pushed me over the edge, but all the cool people in movies smoked, Joe Camel was cool, the Marlboro Man was cool, Hollywood and the tobacco companies made it look really cool. And yes, Clay has not aged well, but his humor and attitude were pretty cool in the 90's. He used to do all sorts of cool tricks with cigarettes and zippo lighters, and he just made it look really cool. It was while watching The Adventures of Ford Fairlane when I remember making a conscious decision that I was going to start smoking. That was right after watching Harley-Davidson and the Marlboro Man movie.
Edit: here's a couple pictures from said movie, since it's a very different aesthetic than what you found. Look at that cast!
