Tobacco giant Philip Morris International is joining in on the New Year, New Me idea by announcing it wants to give up smoking in the New Year.
The maker of such brands Marlboro, L&M and Parliament took out full-page ads in several UK newspapers that said its 2018 ambition is to build a smoke-free future and eventually stop selling cigarettes, USA Today reported.
Philip Morris is known for cigarettes. Every year, many smokers give them up. Now its our turn, according to the blue and white ad, which was published in Business Insider.

Those episodes were intriguing.
I kind of miss the show. The finale was rather weak and the show could have run further.

I liked the finale. It implied that Don Draper had come full-circle.
He started the series at the top and ended up rock-bottom, only to imply at the end he was on top again, and probably was going to go through the whole cycle again in the 70s.

I suspect just changing product lines.
It used to be Big Tobacco. Now it’s Big Marijuana.

I had Phillip Morris stock in my retirement portfolio. I asked the guy why? and he said, Tobacco will never go away. Do you have Phillip Morris the international stock? Or Altria, the US stock? The article only talks about internationally giving up on tobacco.

Maybe Chesterfield and Fatima brands could come back.

There are apps you can listen to it on your phone, and, of course, YouTune. Dragnet is hard to listen to for extended periods, because they constantly use the same actors over ans over again.
To: nickcarraway
The same people don’t bother me.
I’m getting better at picking them out.

Im getting better at picking them out.That's the problem. Every old woman is the same women. Every little girl is the same actress. Every old man is the same man. etc.
I like Philip Marlow and Johnny Dollar the best.

Also,
Winston sponsored The Flintstones.
Across the pond Matchbox created a little controversy around the same time with this
Players was a popular cigarette in the UK and Ireland. And because of that controversy, many of these replicas go for very high prices on ebay. In the 80's Matchbox came out with sets of "Great Beers of the World." Replicas of mainly pre WW2 trucks adorned with period correct beer and ale liveries, Budweiser, Foster's, Bass Ales, Guinness, Lowenbrau, etc. The consumer protection agencies there as well as the nanny state Euro-weenies pitched a fit over it. Matchbox marketed them as "adult collectibles" and required anyone ordering these sets to acknowledge they were at least 21 yrs of age.

Johnny Dollar has become somewhat addictive.
The Bob Bailey ones are my preference.

I got out of stocks in October of 2007 one month before the stock market crash. Best money decision I ever made.
