summer. smoked marlboro reds every day.

That will unfortunately do it.

When I was in 5th grade, I remember the class having an assignment to make som
mock advertisements to promote health and not doing unhealthy things. I remember one of the students drew a graveyard with "Marlboro country" written below it.

Back in the day, before my time (I am over 50), they promoted cigarettes differently. In some cases, I believe that consumers were even lead to
believe they might be healthy.

By the time I came along, there was already some PSA advertising,
especially from the American Cancer Society, about how smoking could kill
you. They had not yet got to promoting the dangers of second-hand smoke,
or smoking while pregnant, but they'd at least got as far as it could kill
you.

I had a lot of relatives, but none I lived with, that were life-long
smokers at the time. It was really difficult for them to even consider stopping. What surprised me was how many people my age, and slightly
younger, who picked up the habit despite the dire warnings.

It surprises me even more now that cigarette smoking seems to be making a comeback.

whats disgusting is when people hit it hard and it's in their clothes and their whole body. that smells horrible.

Yes it does. Even when they come in from outside after smoking the cheap native "bag o' smokes".

When I was ~25, I went out for a while with a lady who smoked. I never
could figure out how she did it but she never smelled like she smoked. I
know she smoked outside often, but I also know she smoked in her car and in other indoor places (you could smoke in restaurants back then, for example).

OTOH, about 10 years ago I went out for a few times with another gal who smoked. She was also, IMHO, an alcoholic. She often smelled like an
ashtray that someone had spilled stale beer in. I am glad I didn't date
her when I was younger! :o

It seems to me things like that in moderation are okay. Pepsi is one of my favorite sodas (I like it better than Coke).

I prefer Double Cola, Red Rock, or RC, but they can be more difficult to
find (especially the first two).

My real soda "vices" are Ski and Ale-8-One. ;)

Clove cigarettes remind me of hacky sack, college quads, diner coffee, half-read philosophy paperbacks, cheap gas, road trips, and being in my 20s.

And not of goths? :)

When I was younger (late '80s/early '90s), the folks who smoked clove cigarettes were not goths. Most of the goths that smoked in college smoked
the real ones (and drank like fish).

I knew a women like that, she told me the trick is to hand sanatize before she >came
inside, as well as other washing tricks.

Hand sanitizing wasn't a big thing back then. Washing was though. ;) I
think she used a perfume or lotion that must have either got rid of it or covered it up real good.

If you smoke after sex, use more lube.
