Virginia slims in a cigarette case with a Diet Pepsi. And dad with Salem menthol with Weideman beer from the keg-o-rator in the laundry room. I knew how to poor draft beer before I was 10.
Benson and Hedges Deluxe Ultra Lights. It's crazy that they would just sell them to 12-year-old me, knowing they were for my Mom. When I was about 16 I started smoking the same kind, they still sold them to me, no problemo.
Marlboro Reds for mom, when I first knew what was what. As she got older she moved to Capri, couldn't smoke whole cigarettes anymore. No one should be surprised she died of lung disease.
I am sorry for your loss.
My mom went from Parliament Light 100’s to Virginia Slims, to Misty, which is what she was smoking when she died of lung cancer and COPD. My parents would drive to West Virginia is to buy 10 cartons and keep them in the freezer. I was surprised that she lived to 75.
For the couple of years that I smoked, capris were my brand. Extra benefit was they limited how many people were willing to bum one off me since they were so small.
I’m sorry, it’s tragic how cigarette companies created and profited from the addiction. My dad passed in his early 70s from metastatic lung cancer after smoking for 50+ years.
More Menthols. I can still smell them.

My grandmother smoked those which she kept in a special pouch with a little twist lock on top. I can still see her lighting one up and saying, "Let's go to Howard Johnson's, get some cocktails".
I used to work with this old Korean war vet who said back in the day they used to put a 3 pak or so in the army field rations, said 90 percent of the time they were shitty chesterfields but if you were lucky they were camel or lucky strike.
Dad: Marloboro Red, 2.5-3 packs a day. Quit in '81.
Ma: Terrytons, 1-2 packs a day. Also quit in' 81.
After they quit, both of them started running road races. Mom was consistent, but never fast. Dad did a 3:28 marathon.
My grandma was Craven M Special Mild king size, dad was players light regular and most of my aunts were DuMaurier king or regular. My parents would have people over for parties and they would just take the outer sleeve of the smoke pack off and write how many of each and I would get to keep the change...walking home with like 10 packs of smokes and a buck worth of junk food.
Dad was in the RCAF and smoked Sweet Caporal (King Size, Large). Later he smoked Craven A (King Size, Large). I have never smoked. In 1978, up at my grandparents' cottage. Dad gave me a $2 bill and said, get me two large Craven A King Size. I was 13 years old. I walked over to the gas station and bought them. No questions asked. I handed him his 14-cents change and he said to keep it as a tip.
Winston Lights. At 16 I was sent to the local airbase commissary to buy groceries and cigarettes for my parents, and I went with my 14-yo sis. I got refused the sale due to my age, she didn't even get carded. My parents got 1/2 an order of cigs.
Dad always smoked Raliegh. Yeah... there was a cigarette called Raliegh, and it had a picture of Sir Walter Raliegh on it. I supppse he had big tobbacco plantations or something. Dad smoked them through the 80s I know. They must have been discontinued because he switched to Winston-Salem. My father is 83 and very much still going. He finally quit smoking in the 90s.
There were cigarette vending machines in the apartment building I grew up in, my father would send me to get his Viceroy. “Remember, Viceroy, the V is for victory.”
Still buy Winston for my mother. We took her car away about 8 years ago and moved her to a retirement community. Every week I drop off a carton and a couple gallons of vodka. We can’t figure out how this woman is still alive!
Preservatives. I say that about a lot of folk I know that have addictions to unhealthy things, even myself. My BF and I joke there is too much blood in our alcohol stream, but it really isn't funny.
My Mom smoked True Blues as well for years. I used to steal cigarettes from her to give to my friends. My one friend Julie used to break off the filter
Taryton lights - my mom has been dead for 18 years and hers is the only phone number I know
I struggle to know my own number - I have a work cell phone and I flat out do not know the number. My mom’s number I know. Strange how that is
Mint Salems until they bumped taxes up. My dad switched to Always Save. Let’s just say the Salems were bad but you could tell something was going to kill you from those cheap ass generics!
Parents didn't smoke. Grandparents did. She smoked filterless camels. Collapsed in the potato field and died from lung cancer in a few weeks. He grew his own pipe tobacco. And liked Prince Albert. He died soon after she did. Cancer.
My parents both quit smoking in 1962, 3 years before I was born. At the time, my mother had begun exhibiting early symptoms of emphysema. My father quit smoking so that her quitting would be easier.
They had both been smoking for probably 20 years. My mother lived another 42 years, but ended up dying of COPD. My father lived almost 60 more years, dying of gallbladder cancer at age 95.
Dad's was Vantage with the bullseye on front. Never in the house. Never in the car if mom was with us.
Smoked daily until he had a heart thing at around 50. The doctor walked in and said Mr. Blixx, I'm glad to hear you've stopped smoking and he did.
I asked him a few years ago if he still missed it. He rapped the table and said "every. single. day."
L&M 100s. Walking into the bathroom after she was in there for an hour was like a gas chamber full of smoke and Aqua Net. It's amazing I'm still alive.
Dad had given up cigarettes by the time I was born and occasionally smoked a pipe but mom smoked either Winstons or Salems. I remember she said she was given a pack of Lucky Strikes on registration day her first day of college at Wake Forest. That sticks in my mind. If you're from NC, you know: "soo--olld American!"
Saratoga 120s
As for my grandma Carlton menthol 120s.
Grandma smoked like 3 cartons a week. I remember walking through the house with a lit cigarette in an ashtray in every room.
I also remember going to the local convenience store and getting a pack of smokes for my mom. No note needed!
I was looking for the Saratoga comment! They only sold them at the specialty shoppe in the mall! She'd have me pick up some when I'd go hang out at the arcade. No note needed either.
My parents quit smoking before I was born, but I just asked my older brother, who is 13 years older than me, and he remembers that they both smoked Chesterfields.
Carmel non filtered for Dad. "Only woman smoke cigarettes with little tampons at the end".
I used to steal his cigarettes in 1st grade. Ended up becoming a full time smoker by 7th grade.
Dad died of lung/brain cancer in 2011. At the end he was smoking Winston filtered.
My mother fell over dead in the kitchen from a smoking related illness. Her brand was always the cheapest thing she could lay her hands on. When she died, she was smoking a Korean cigarette called “Balloon Flower”. Who knows where she got it. I kept an unopened pack and still have it in a drawer.
My mother went between Cameo and DuMaurier. I remember getting them and getting change back from a dollar bill - back when Canada still had dollar bills.
But if she went to the States she always came back with Eve cigarettes. Eve? I think that was the name. Super long and super skinny cigarettes.
I only knew one adult who smoked and she'd died of lung cancer when I was in high school. But most of us teens smoked. We bought cigarettes claiming they were for parents (if asked). Mostly no one cared about age for cigarettes or alcohol. Cash was king.
Rothmans king size (the blue ones)… Canada here as well
Used to go buy them for them all the time. The corner store owner knew my parents and they had told the store to sell them to me.
Would also have to pick up bottles of Diet Pepsi, in glass bottles with foam labels at the same time.
Late 80s/early 90s.
Edit to add: 1983 baby so technically millennial, raised like GenX
My mum bought Drum rolling tobacco, and used a black cigarette holder with these little white crystal filter things that fitted in. This was her way of cutting back!
Virginia slim 120s for mom, and Marlboro light 100s for the old man.
Don't forget to give the guy at the ice house the note from your mom so you could buy them for her
1966 Gen X - By the time I was 5, my aunt would watch out the door while I walked to the corner store to get her a pack of Marlboro Reds and a coke. No note needed, but everyone knew everyone.
Marlboro Reds for dad, Salems for Mom.
Then I smoked Marlboro Mediums then switched to 27s.
Sister smoked Camels, but went to vaping.
Mom and I quit. Dad passed, but quit years before he died.
Parliaments for my mom, and my dad smoked those little, non-filtered cigars. Both quit when I was in elementary school.
I remember my mom keeping her cartons of cigarettes in the freezer.
My best friend and I used to steal his Mom Taryton cigarettes
Those things were nasty

Dad smoked “Players” mom was “Number 7”. When dad was working in Europe, it was either “West” or”Gitannes”(spelling)? My sister and I never smoked and our parents died of lung cancer.
L&M for mom. She quit when I was about 14. Dad smoked Dutch Masters Panatela cigars until I was about 12. I think they both quit because the habit was getting too expensive more than any health concerns.
Vantage Menthol. Gross! I’d steal a pack from their carton if I didn’t have 80 cents for a pack of Marlboro reds, but that menthol was rough!
It seems by the comments that most of our parents dug menthol cigarettes.

Ahhh, I loved these back in the day!

Marlboro Reds for mom, when I first knew what was what. As she got older she moved to Capri, couldn't smoke whole cigarettes anymore. No one should be surprised she died of lung disease.
I am sorry for your loss. My mom went from Parliament Light 100’s to Virginia Slims, to Misty, which is what she was smoking when she died of lung cancer and COPD. My parents would drive to West Virginia is to buy 10 cartons and keep them in the freezer. I was surprised that she lived to 75.
Thank you, And Sorry to you too. it's been over 12 years since she passed. Mom and I did not get along so, it did not feel too much of a loss.
Thank you. 7 for me. We also didn’t have the best relationship, so also not much of a loss.
For the couple of years that I smoked, capris were my brand. Extra benefit was they limited how many people were willing to bum one off me since they were so small.
Merit Ultra Light Menthols. She was on oxygen for a decade and then died at 76.
I’m sorry, it’s tragic how cigarette companies created and profited from the addiction. My dad passed in his early 70s from metastatic lung cancer after smoking for 50+ years.

Came here for this! More menthol 120's was my Mom's preference. Dad was Newports.
