Wow. I would hate to have been a visitor at that dinner.
My late grandmother, who smoked 4 packs a day, must have heeded this advise. She was a good cook, but if you took home any leftovers, they would taste like ash. I remember as a kid, when we'd stay the night with her, our lungs would hurt the next day.
Needless to say, she passed away of a smoking-related illness in her 50s.
I'm sure in another 70+ years we'll be looking at Ads for today in the same way. Fastfood ads are probably going to be a big one. "I'm lovin' it? More like I'm lardin' it! Hur-hur!"
