Pall Malls, "mild?" As opposed to what, standing over a coal fire?

They also claimed that they soothed a sore throat so yeah, they lied through their teeth but they sure made a lot of money.

I do love seeing all these old cigarette ads.

I want to go and live in that ad with the cows and the farmer and the smart summer frocks and let smooth talking men in suits light my Pall Mall for me.

Yeah. Pleasure. Like the pleasure of sticking my face in the crack of the back seat of the car to try and get some fresh air on those long trips to our cousins' farm with all the windows rolled up and the heat on and two parents chain smoking those coffin nails in the front seat. Deee-lightful.

At first I thought it said "Mindless", I thought it was foreshadowing the future of cigarette realization!

I quit so I do miss the fun of smoking, just like the ad says. Chewing my hair and the ends of pencils just doesn't offer the same mile pleasure, I tell you what.
