Is it no wonder that kids back in the day started smoking?

I have noticed that the kids around here are all smoking newports now. I dont know why. Are they what's in the "cool" now? _________________

Shaking my head...how stupid we were as a society! So, very sad!
It's no wonder....the heart and mind was being bombarded with little thought seeds of "it's cool and relaxing".
Thanks Eric! _________________

if there's a hell, i'm pretty sure they have a special section set aside for the evil bastards responsible for this kind of thing. big tobacco knew as early as 1956 that nicotine was highly addictive, and deadly, which is exactly why they chose to target their marketing at children, who they referred to in their internal documents as "replacement smokers". _________________

Hey Doggy 12:
I think kids flock to menthol generally because of the "minty" taste. It also could be considered 'cool' for the moment if they're particularly into hip-hop and all that. I've noticed, and I say this because I've been around a lot of musicians...most hip-hoppers smoke menthol. Kids tend to smoke what their role models smoke....
