And the Dr. would come up to you with a smoke hanging out of his mouth. My mom even got to smoke in her hospital room. I remember we used to ride around in the car with no seat belts and my mom would send me outside unsupervised and I could wander anywhere in the neighborhood and go to friends homes. If I caused any trouble I heard about it when I got home because one of the neighbors would call my mom. We had a wall phone in the kitchen and it was....ghasp, a party line.

I watch some of these medical<br />ads on the TV and they give the disclaimers and I wonder<br />how anybody can take the medicine when they know there<br />could be such horrible disadvantages. My husband<br />had diabetes and took lots of pills and many of them<br />have not been discounted because of problems they cause.<br />I often think it was more than the lung cancer that<br />caused his death - too many pills from a doctor who<br />didn't know what else to do.<br />Sorry - I'll get off my soapbox.<br />Enjoyed seeing the adverts - brings back memories<br />of olden days.<br /><br />Mary Holshouserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566011299004426191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042919204332555471.post-59000240604777437692016-10-13T16:44:46.885-04:002016-10-13T16:44:46.885-04:00These ads are totally unbelievable!These ads are totally unbelievable!Susan Renshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021907343578323291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042919204332555471.post-34815028551775031562016-10-13T16:42:22.791-04:002016-10-13T16:42:22.791-04:00Dear Nan, First let me say I am so truly sorry.

Ignorance is in fact the devils facts...and keeps us a as a people unaware of what is right in front of us.

And lost my dad in January to lung cancer and he smoked for about 6 years total so of course those ads for smoking scare the hell out of me! I can't believe the names of some of the companies who ran these ads??? And the innocence one is down right disgraceful...You have opened my eyes to things I had either forgotten or never actually seen! Amanda, you have just posted the most terrifying post of the hop! Thank God for science and people with brains that figured this junk out! And hopefully a wake up call for those who still smoke...I am living with the horrible results of two parents polluting their own babies air :( xxMy Side of Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068822669159690509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042919204332555471.post-19320515868761318132016-10-13T14:12:08.233-04:002016-10-13T14:12:08.233-04:00Well, then!
