Weren't they the ones which were about 7" long cashy

Being in my mid 30's it seems strange to see fags advertised. I notice that they were a kind of fashion accessory, like the cool bloke in the Marlboro adverts. I remember dismissing the idea of not smoking in pubs,"it'll never work" i said......Smoking is certainly on the decline, and in 20 years you will be seeing the last generation of smokers i my opinion.

Don't know what the situation is today because its over 30 years since I smoked.

I remember the popular brands in those days which were sold on size not strength, the most popular cheap ones were Woodbinds and Park Drive with Players, Senior Service, Capstan, even Capstan Full Strength the bigger ones, but there were loads on the market State Express 555 Sweet Afton, Balkan Sobranie (not sure of the spelling of some of these) of course filter tips didn't come on the market until around 1960.

Anybody remember other brands which were on the market in those days
