Hard to believe that we really survived the blitz of destructive advertising!

    Actually it brought back a hankering for cigarettes. Which I last smoked at 11:15 a.m. on the 8th of August in 1984. That’s powerful advertising!

      I think one of the memories of the 20th century will be tobacco abuse, COPD and lung cancer. As a lung specialist, I used to see so many of these issues. I was proud that Group Health became the 1st hospital system in the country to go non-smoking. That was in 1982. We’ve come a long way, baby!
