[GreenKeys] Hal ST-6 using it in modern times

Sun Mar 22 23:01:45 EDT 2020

    I think it was Camels that advertised they were "kind to the 
T zone" meaning throat. By the time those ads ran the tobacco 
industry knew they caused cancer. Before my time was Old Gold 
with "Not a cough in a carload". You would think that if people 
associated cigarettes with coughing it would make them 
suspicious. I also remember TV ads for toothpaste asking "Tired 
of yellow stained teeth?" Should have followed up with then quit 
smoking and not use whatever toothpaste it was. A friend told me 
she quit when her husband to be told her she was like kissing an 
ashtray. Smoking is the worst thing you can do to your body.
     Now from green packages to green keys.
