What's with all these kids smoking newports?
I see like 14 year old kids walking around with newports.
I mean I've been smoking since I was 15 and even all my friends smoke newports.
I think they taste like crap.

Funny you should ask..........I worked in a group home once, and Newports were INDEED the preferred currency.
It's like childrens first real cigarettes. Ya have the candy cigarettes.......and then ya have the bubble gum cigarettes, and then the next step, is the real deal........so you get some minty Newports.
Like, nicotine light.
Then maybe ya grow up a little, and be bold and brave and try a Marlboro Light or something,
The kids who want to be cool.........maybe go for a filter free Joe Camel.....(and usually gag on them)
Newports let them smoke.......but don't tax them tooooooooo much, just yet.
Did you know, back in the days of Cigarette advertising, the ads MOST OFTEN found near SCHOOLS, were Newports and Joe Camel?
This was no accident. Newports, because they were MILD, and Camels, because KIDS LIKED the cool Joe Camel character.
It was SPECIFICALLY created and GEARED towards children.
Not one but 3 Winston ads featuring the Flintstones of all people. FOr more of your favorite cartoon characters pimping out products on dvd visit ...
