Missing the "Good Old Days"

[Torchwatch]

The tobacco industry refers to getting a new batch of young smokers as recruitment. They knew as early as 1953 that tobacco products were killing as many as 6,000,000 a year and needed a steady supply of new recruits.

My mom, aunt, and my sisters would always smoke heavily due to it decreased their appetite and kept them quite thin and looking fit while sunbathing topless on the beach in Trancas, California during the early 1970's. So they thought. Cut off short shorts and Speedos on men were quite normal beach attire later in that decade. I don't miss sitting within a constantly in your face cloud of cigarette smoke from a smoking beach crowd no matter how good it felt to be able to freely and acceptably sunbathe and walk around in the most minimal beach attire.
