| "The young couple traveling in a crowded train from the seashore to London started |
| out necking. But one thing led to another, and soon they were engaged in passionate |
| lovemaking. Passengers were stunned by the display, but managed to keep stiff |
| upper lips until the couple got around to the final act of their amorous liaison: lighting |
| up in a nonsmoking compartment. That was going a bit too far. Outraged riders |
| stormed the train porters with complaints, and police arrested the man and woman |
| when they got off. A judge fined them $240 each for the smoking and the indecent |
| conduct." |
| Reported in Life Magazine, October, 1992 |

| On a recent trip to Scotland, I stayed with my 73-year-old cousin. One morning she |
| said "Where's the newspaper? I want to see who quit smoking." Amazed at this, I |
| asked "Do they publish the names of people who quit smoking in the Scottish |
| newspapers?" "Aye", she said, "in the obituary column." |

| Houston is famous for big deals, big domes, and individuals who make up their |
| minds. You decide...Dakota or Marlboro. Ad for Dakota, a new cigarette designed for |
| young virile females who do what their boyfriends tell them to do. Houston, home of the |
| largest medical center in the world, asks you to make up your mind; Dakota tumors or |
| Marlboro radiation treatments? You decide...is it going to be Dakota, DaCough, |
| DaCancer or DaCoffin? |
