    Amanda, I guess they tried to get everyone hooked the world over. I have an old ad like that of a cowgirl in a large cowboy hat promoting Turkish cigarettes.

      I used to smoke when I was in Greece - hard not to with everyone around you smoking :)) but strangely enough, I don't miss it~

      You don't see them very often - but the little village where I saw this still seems to have never left the 1950s!

    Why'd they have to make smoking so sexy? I wonder if e-cigs will be like that too.

      If the ad execs have anything to do with it, they most certainly will make e-cigs sexy!

    Hello Amanda, advertisement is a very powerful tool. The pretty model looks cool.

    Popping in to see what you're up to. You are an intrepid globetrotter and collector of all things quietly wild, Sis.
