Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There are places you're still allowed to advertise cigarettes?

The cigarette comoany is using underhanded tactica to get you to buy something their own scientists confirm is detrimental to your health? They would never!

Phillip Morris gets you hooked on nicotine...then ten years later sells you vapes so you can tell the Internet you quit smoking.

The scooter is just a generic off-the-shelf honda in black, they didn't even put a custom Marlboro livery on it. Selling poison to children is one thing, but doing it without any style?

I hate cigarettes, but I've always liked the designs Marlboro had in their cars over the years. The red/white triangles and the tall "rlb" in the logo giving it a bit of symmetry, it just looks great.

I hate cigarettes

Yeah no having seen the way my father was tortured by struggling to quit for years while being confronted with potentially causing his own children to lose him at a young age the way he lost his own father, I could never take up smoking. But they do have really cool car liveries.
