And how could I have forgotten . . .

Old Ads

. . . Kent? Which I associated with Clark Kent, the mild-mannered secret identity of Superman, though I don't recall that either Superman or Clark Kent smoked. Did they?

And what's this obsession with taste in old cigarette ads? Does one really taste cigarette smoke? If so, need one actually inhale? Maybe all this talk about taste is simply misdirection intended to draw attention away from the fact that what the smoker really craves is that nicotine rush to the brain, which comes only through inhaling the smoke deeply into the lungs.

As for taste, de gustibus non disputandum est . . .
