| | "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? |
| | Ad from DOC (Doctors Ought to Care) running simultaneously in 1988. Editor |
| | note: because of bad publicity, the brand was later withdrawn from the market. |
