Featuring Smoking in Movies

ML, this is so true, we were just having this conversation the other night. It was because we were watching something..(can't remember) and they did smoke, it was suprising because you never see it anymore. We were remembering how there used to be smoking in cartoons.. Bugs bunny used to smoke in some episodes!! Crazy huh?

Hi right back at ya, Moss. If it wasn't for you, Kelly and Natalie, I don't know if I would have made it. We No-Embers rock!

And, yes, Karen, the savings are nice and I'm finding all sorts of stuff to do with it aside from watching it burn up in smoke.

Angie mentioned smoking in movies on another thread and I had to laugh to myself. A few days ago, I wasn't feeling well and decided to watch a movie on the boob tube - Return to Peyton Place, made, I think, in 1961. My lord, the smoking that went on in that movie was beyond belief. As I sat there watching it, I remembered how it was, everybody and their brother and sister smoked everywhere, all the time. I never tried to quit smoking before, well, once, but my heart wasn't really in it. My wake up call came when I saw all the cigarette butts in the ashtray of cigarettes that had been lit but not smoked. As I counted them, I calculated how much money had gone up in smoke, so decided that I would quit and quit I did. Fortunately, a member of another MB I belong to mentioned SSC and I came here about a month and some days after my Q date, which was Thanksgiving 2007. Anyway, to make a long story even longer

and back to the origin of this thread, I found that the incessant smoking did not tempt me one bit. Oh, at first it caught me off-guard and possibly, maybe, there was a slight crave, but by the end of the movie, I knew (hope) that I will never smoke again.
