Yee Haw Y'all.It's been 4 years since my last post. Been busy helping do things like eliminate tobacco control programs in New Jersey and cripple programs in New York. Next big project will be to help out some good ole boys in their fight against the Revenue men. Heck we're just like the Dukes of Hazzard, only instead of the General Lee, we drive lung cancer rates. Yeeee Ha! Good times.Anywho,

In the imortal words of Andy Williams, "it's the holiday season, so So hoopdidoo and dickoreedock." Fortunately the good folks at RJ Reynolds haven't forgotten with their brand spankin' new (emphasis on spankin') Holiday-time promotion.Got this in the ol' inbox just in time for Christmas!This year you can get that special someone a free subscription to Playboy.

Poor ol' Joe Camel can't get a break.Today, a total of eight busy-body attorneys general have filed lawsuits claimin' Reynold and Camel violated the Master's Settlement Agreement with a big ad campaign in Rollin' Stone magazine. It's all the usual suspects of California, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Maine and Washington.Y'all can read about it here, here, and here as well as

This week is the annual American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout. So expect to hear a lot of gobbly guck about how bad smokin' is fer ya. This is like Christmas to them heath nuts.Makes me sick.I am so tired of hearin' about how terrible smokin' is fer ya. Nobody ever talks about the real benefits of tobacco and smokin'.

Well don't this just beat all.Hot off the heels of last month's encouragin' article about YouTube bein' a safe haven fer tobacco companies lookin' to get the word out, we get this from the mamby pambies at the American Cancer Society and their Great American Smokeout video contest.Personally I find it a might disgraceful that them American Cancer folks are buttin' in on the party over at YouTube.

Y'all probably heard about the silly notion that a couple of busybody lawmakers have been pushin' about smokin' in cars when kids are present.If ya ain't heard of it y'all can read about it here.Bottom line - as I see it - is kids got as much right to breathe in secondhand smoke as anyone else. And it's just flat out wrong fer them government boys to go takin' those rights away. So that smokin'

Caught this on the boob tube the other night and now its up on the Internet. Just disgraceful the amount of stuff that's on line nowadays.The information in this video is about what's in a cigarette. It's trade secrets folks and ya shouldn't be watchin' it. I'm postin' it here just to highlight how out of control health types are by exposin' the time held traditions of my industry.So don't watch

Lemme tell y'all somethin'.Dinsey ain't nothin' but a bunch of yellow-bellied cowards. How dare they smite the artistic creativity of creative types by not allowin' smokin' in their kiddie cartoons!?! This is just a complete outrage. And lemme tell y'all somethin' else, I ain't takin' this lyin' down.In case y'all hadn't heard, the House of Mouse made the big announcement that smokin' will be

Back in the good old days mom, dad and the youngins could gather round the tele with their frozen TV dinners and settle in fer an evenin' of clean family fun. Clean family fun made possible by the generosity of the good folks at the American Tobacco Company and the like.That was the old openin' fer Make Room Fer Daddy, a highly popular family comedy from the early days of television...when "

Well if this don't beat all.When I stumbled across this I thought it would be more fun with singin' cigarettes like in them old Lucky Strike ads. But no, some darned health nut is makin' the case that flavored cigarettes...uh...I mean...Signature Blends ain't good fer kids.What a bunch of hooey!

Yee haw everybody!Well chalk one up fer the good 'ol boys. We finally won one in New York. And believe you me, that state is so kooky and "health conscience" when it comes to tobacco that this is no small feat.Thanks to the stallin' efforts of the New York State Senate a proposed ban on flavored failed to pass this year in the Empire State. Now, the good folks at Camel can continue to sell rooty

Camel Cigarettes are mobilizin' smokers across these United States.Take a look at this "Camel Confidential" email alert that just hit the inbox of a friend of the Big Tobacco Blog. Apparently some movement is afoot to add a 61 cent tax per pack to all cigarettes.Of course this is completely unacceptable. We in the tobacco industry are very concerned about the unfair taxation of smokers. Oh and it

Y'all know somethin'.It just makes me ill to see how the good folks at Camel are havin' their name dragged through the mud right know about them flavored cigarettes ....uh... I mean.... Signature Blends. Accusations are a flyin', states are talkin' about bannin' certain types of smokes and the Feds in Washington might start regulatin' us.Just terrible and so completely unnecessary.Fer example,

The country's first ever ban on flavored cigarettes includin' Camel Signature Blends is on the verge of bein' passed in - where else - New York State.The story is makin' the rounds and appears on the Capital Confidential Blog which is run by one of them newspaper fellers up there. Word is a ban could come next week.For shame New York! Now how are the 6% of regular smokers who've tried flavored

Oh boy. Another RJ Reynolds memo has surfaced on flavored cigarettes, and this one ain't pretty either.The latest is from a 1980's market research study on infusin' tastes like chocolate and lemon into cigarettes. Reynolds tested the idea of flavors out on both male and female smokers and it went over like somethin' that came out the south side of Joe Camel.This is from page 36 of an 111 page

So this whole flavored cigarette thing just don't seem like it's goin' away any time soon. Apparently states like New York (of course) are workin' on passin' laws to ban 'em fer good. And there's all sorts of talk about FDA regulation.Guess some folks just didn't take kindly to Camel re-introducin' flavor...uh...blended cigarettes so soon after pullin' 'em off the shelves. Oh well. Win some loose

We found another great Kent ad floatin' around the internet.If y'all have kids might I suggest teachin' 'em this song as a fun singalong fer a rainy day.Oh wait a second. I'm sorry. What am I thinkin'? There's no way any ads from big tobacco would appeal to kids. Especially not this one with the cute catchy lyrics and cartoons. Lost my head fer a second there. Enjoy!

Ya might have heard there's a bunch of hub bub about whether or not the Feds at the FDA should be regulatin' tobacco companies.Apparently -surprise surprise - them Free Tobacco fer Kids Campaign fellers are pushin' this nonsense. Of course other mamby pamby health types are in the mix too. They've got a bunch of newspapers callin' fer federal regulations as well here here here and here.Shameful.

Lotsa coverage on the Internet about the new Camel Signature line of smokes.First you have Reynolds finding a sympathetic ear in the Winston Salem Journal. Headline is RJR wants a retraction from them anti-smokin' fellers. Good luck Joe. I'm still waitin' fer 'em to respond to my challenge regardin' the false advertisin' in their name.You've also got the advertisin' media coverin' the story.

Well things are gettin' a might touchy on them flavored...uh...blended cigarettes. First of all, ya got them sidewinders at the Campaign Fer Tobacco Free Kids complainin' in a press release.Incidentally, I don't get the name of the Campaign Fer Tobacco Free Kids. I looked all over their website and I never once found nothin' promotin' free tobacco fer kids. Look fellers if ya put up a petition

Ladies and gentlemen, we have another Yee Haw Salute winner!Remember last year when Reynolds Tobacco "voluntarily" agreed to take flavored cigarettes off the market? Politicians, health officials, youth advocates, and asthmatics everywhere all celebrated this historic agreement. Well you health types didn't figure on one key loophole in Reynold's pledge to remove flavored cigarettes from store

Mornin' everybody.Well the good folks at RJ Reynolds are bein' forced to cough up - no pun intended - $2 billion for that silly MSA thingy. One can only hope their new pink ribbon cigarette will make up some of that lost money. Good luck boys we're a rootin' fer ya here at the Big Tobacco Blog.On the positive side, the North Carolina legislature is waterin' down their proposed smokin' ban. The

Don't ya' miss the days when you could water ski and fire 'em up at the same time. I know I do. Here's a great ol' ad from the 1950's. And I defy y'all to watch this without gettin' that catchy theme song in yer head."Smokers who know, now smoke the big O.Smokers who know, now smoke the big O."

Well don't this just beat all. The Irish have turned against us. According to this story out of...whatever the heck publication this is... pollution inside bars has decreased since they enacted their smokin' ban. In a sign of protest I'm askin' that every one of y'all boycott next year's St. Patrick's day celebratin'.More bad news. Atlantic City enacted restrictions on smokin' in all their

The other day I mentioned that I have a constitutional right to smoke where ever and whenever I dern well please. Well today I'm happy to report that a judge in Colorado is exercisin' my kind of sense. Accordin' to the Denver Post smokin' bans are unconstitutional in Colorado. Somethin' to do with cigar bars and while Lairdare don't sell no cigars, ANY PORT IN A STORM I SAY...YEEE HAAWWW!

Good for the bar and restaurant owners in New Jersey.In an Associated Press story appearin' throughout the state today, the New Jersey Restaurant Association released new information provin' the smokin' ban is closin' perhaps millions of New Jersey restaurants. The proof is being offered in the form of expert testimony from my favorite relative, good ol' Auntie Dotal. I love Auntie Dotal, you

Yee haw y'all.Although I'm feelin' a little glum this mornin'. You see a bunch of them pointy headed politician types in New York - where else - are talkin' about raising taxes on cigarettes. And - of course - the local papers are fully in support. You can read more about the whole sad circumstance here and here.Won't these people ever learn. Smokin' is good for public health. Don't believe me,

As I said, I miss the good old days.This was sent to me as an example of the long history of tobacco companies marketin' to kids.Of course that's just nonsense. The Flintstones were a PRIME TIME show, clearly aimed at adults. I mean what kid was gonna know Stony Curtis was supposed to be Tony Curtis? Or Ann-Margrock was supposed to be Ann-Margaret?It's all above their heads - trust me we've done

I miss the good old days.Days when men were men and you could smoke in places like airplanes, restaurants and child daycare centers. When real guys like John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Yul Brenner could light up without fear of anything bad happenin' to em.I am so sick of hearin' piddly complaints and whinin'. Seems like a feller can't light up anymore without some do gooder violatin' my
