Smoking Camels
by Harry Task task@flash.net

Years and years ago, the people who put out Camels went far out on their claims that smoking Camels cigarettes would steady your nerves. To make their point they would advertise showing high-rise steel beam workers walking on a beam many stories from the street and other such hazardous jobs that were inherently dangerous. Then they would show the person who was involved in that hazardous work smoking a Camel Cigarette ostensibly to steady his nerves.

A joke of the times was: 'Did you hear about the guy who smoked so many Camels his nerves got so steady he couldn't move. HA!

I quite smoking 28 years ago. Now I wish I could convince my youngest son (he's getting to be near a half century old) he should quit smoking too.

If YOU haven't quit yet, it's time NOW!! The tobaco industry knows smoking is not good for your health! All I can say in addition is: If you don't mind SHORTENING your potential life's time by ten years or more, keep on smoking. I'm going to send this same message to that son and hope he pays attention!!! Harry
