Chesterfield cigarettes preferred by professional smokers!? 

meanwhile vaping exists.

@@purefoldnz3070 Why vape when you can smoke the real thing/ From what I hear smoking cigarettes is safer than vaping.

@@inkey2 its all smoke. Its all smoking its all shit. 60 years ago kids were dumb and today they're even dumber. Impressive really.

​@@inkey2 no its not

George Schierling Most people smoked in those days, so the odor couldn't be noticed as easily

@@rustyshitbox that's very true, because scientists now know that cigarette smoke has an adverse impact on a person's sense of smell. Whether that sense of smell can be recovered or not after smoking cessation or removal from a smoky environment, I do not know.

I switched from Marlboro about two months ago and life is good! 😀 They're like a buck cheaper than Reds and better in my opinion!

I get no satisfaction from filter cigarettes. I smoke Pall Malls unfiltered now. To me, a filter just wastes space on a cigarette and they ruin the taste. I started smoking when I was 5 years old. I lived in a town of 1500 people. There was nothing to do there in 1955 except smoke and shoot pool in the only poolroom in town.

@@bradentonguy50 You beat my father by 4 years! he told me he started smoking when he was 9, or maybe it was 11. It was 9 or 11. I can't ask him now because he is deceased. Thanks for posting

@@spectrum10 yeah, I beat a lot of people at smoking. I started at 5. My family went to a Chinese restaurant in Philly. My uncle hated my father and used to love to get under his skin. My uncle smoked Chesterfield unfiltered. When we went to pay the bill at the counter, I asked my uncle if I could have a pack of Chesterfields. To irritate my father my uncle told the cashier “give the boy a pack of Chesterfields.” For reasons I cannot fathom, my father didn’t prevent me from having them! So I took the pack home and smoked them in the basement. After that, I just kept smoking and still do. I couldn’t make this story up! This was 1956!

Right after College and before I "got to" work at GE, I pumped gas. I think the owner sold as many cigarettes as gallons of gas. It was still a few years from being unpopular. One guy would always purchase "unfiltered Camels". Finally I told him; "I like you, all the other Smokers are pussies". He got lung cancer though, he was pretty young. I also took a pack of unfiltered Camels to the last Woodstock Festival in case there were lots of bugs *but I don't smoke.* It wasn't long before people were bumming cigarettes off one another and I kept quiet for a while in front of the group I was with until it was clear that Bugs weren't going to be a problem. It was an old Air Force Base - maybe chemicals were leftover for miles? Anyway, I finally offered my unfiltered Camels when people asked about a cigarette and all these smokers looked at me like I was trying to sell them sex with an underage prostitute. People in their 20's now don't smoke but Tobacco Corporations found a new way to kill them slowly. "Good thing", where would we all be if we didn't prioritize corporate profits over everything else.

jojorobino5312 Let me tell you, there was no smoke like a Chesterfield. I started smoking them when I was 5 years old. Not kidding!

1948, actually..

Probably died of lung cancer

@@solsolsolomon You don’t really know that. I know people who are in their 90’s who smoke 2 packs a day and are fit as a fiddle, (to use a 50’s expression.) I plan to keep smoking.

@@bradentonguy50 Bradenton ... There are always exceptions. Folks who eat tons of fiber and run 25 miles/week still die of heart attacks every day. It's the problem of large numbers when you have eight billion humans. But absolute objective, globally-vetted, easily-proven and located data shows smoking kills humans far, far quicker than not. Anecdotal exceptions change zero about that fact.

@@friedmandesigns I guess I’m an anecdote. And I know many other anecdotes too. “You gotta light?”

Cool! A 14 year old comment. I saw Chesterfields at pharmacy today. I was in shock they're still around. Hope you skipped Covid & can respond today! You a smoker by chance?

abystus oh really? Your sure it's not the reason that this is over 60 years old?

abystus Or died of massive coronaries(hear attacks)from excessive smoking! 🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬 😉😉😉😉😉

Dario Witer I hate when I have a “hear attack”

are u a live

You gotta audition for it. To get on the panel you gotta take a deep draw and nothing comes out of your mouth or nose. I qualify!!

I have smoked cigarettes since I was 5 years old. That’s 65 years. I dare somebody try to stop me!

If you don't smoke 3 at a time, you are an amateur to me 😯🚬🚬🚬

Actually, as a person who has smoked since age 5 (I am now 70) I truly believe that there is such a thing as a “professional smoker.” A pro chooses only the best cigarettes primarily by the carton. He is loyal to his brand. The purchase of off-brand cigarettes such as “305” or whatever they are called is unacceptable to a professional smoker. To a professional smoker, a disposable lighter is unthinkable. Only a zippo lighter will do. A professional smokers knows how to open a pack of cigarettes and SHAKE one out and put it in his mouth. He knows how to light a cigarette under windy conditions. The pro knows how to take a long drag on the cigarette and resume talking with the smoke gradually escaping both his mouth and nose. Under the best circumstances the smoke never leaves his mouth or nose at all. These are the hallmarks of a professional smoker. I meet ALL of these criteria.

Are you sure that someone didnt do that to you?

@@Darffone Do what to me?

I was mostly joking. I meant, did someone maybe instill a brand based self identity obtained through consumerism in you for the sake of obtaining and holding a customer base for their own profit? I quit and i used to mostly smoke players and Canadians and they all just tasted like our western smokes generally speaking.

Jim Mowreader I am 70 and remember those parties when I was a kid!

You don’t know that. I have been smoking since I was 5 and haven’t had any ill effects.

I envy these people.

My grandparents smoked, lived well into their 90s, and their causes of death were not even tobacco related!

Well, it's 11 years later. It's now been 72 years since the above video footage was shot. Oh, did you notice Durwood Kirby promoting Chesterfield? Quite interesting.

@Charlie Lucky they sell them at tobacco stores

@Charlie Lucky around my house, we have Norridge tobacco. It depends on where you live. Just call a couple of them around you and ask if they have them

Good luck fighting lung cancer

@@solsolsolomonWell, I may lose the battle if I get it. But if I DO get it, I’ll smoke til I drop. I’m 70 now. So it might not get me. Plenty of people live into their late 80’s and early 90’s smoking like chimneys like me. I might even outlive you! How old are you anyway?

@@bradentonguy50 21

I'm still in it after half a century

Hand to eye coordination is considered a sport...LMASSSSSSOFFFFFFF

John A. Yes.

Yes indeed. In 1955, I started smoking them when I was 5 years old although my parents didn’t know it. I had to quit when I was 12 cause I almost burned the house down. I’m not kidding.

@@bradentonguy50 You still alive man?

@@solsolsolomon Sure. But I switched to Pall Malls when I left the house in 1968. Smoke 2 packs a day since then. Love ‘em!

@@bradentonguy50 Damn

I started buying and smoking cigarettes when I was 5. That was 1955. At that time a pack cost 25 cents. When filtered cigarettes came out they cost 30 cents. All I ever wanted to do in life was smoke cigarettes.

Sounds like him. I was born 1980 but richard diamond, dragnet, and gunsmoke are my favorite shows. My only regret watching this is they didnt bring out the dumb cop for diamond to verbally abuse for being mildly handicapped.

Terribly sad

Some doctors will do anything for a little extra money in their pocket. It's why the US is so bad on opioids right now.

Bill Armitage Prematurely from cancer caused by smoking. One must have to be a fool, or be bombarded with that kind of commercial from the time they are toddler to believe that commercial is truthful.

A bunch of 30+ year olds, over 70 years later, DEAD?! No shit Sherlock.

Bill Armitage

Bill Armitage you idiot

I'm sure the commercials over 60 years old

Have both! You know you want to! 😈
