I am trying to think of how the idea of selling cigarettes started. Had to be kinda strange dont you think? I'm playing in my head how it went with the company and marketing people. C: we plan to sell this product M: What is it? C: A cigarette M: What do you do with it? C: Light it and inhale it M: Why, it makes you caugh? (general discussion in room amongst board members, then a response) C: Because it will make you look glamourus! M: Ahhh, if you say so, but I don't think this will work. C: YES IT WILL! WE WILL MARKET THE HECK OUT OF IT AND EVERYONE WILL BE HOOKED ON IT AN WE CAN ALL GET RICH!! M: oooh! It's a drug!? C: Yes, but let's not let that get out. M: Gotcha!
