    I believe I was in sixth grade when that album came out.

    First of all, it used a whole lot of synthesizers, which were pretty new technology at the time, and I felt like I was living in the future when I heard it.

    As to the album cover, it somehow didn’t register with my that it was a baby smoking.

    Rather, it made me think of teenagers smoking in the high school bathroom.

    Motley Crue’s Smokin in the Boys Room came out a year later, so I don’t think that influenced my mental image.

      Dude, synthesizers were not new in 1984. Also that was a cover song Motley Crue did. Originally released Brownsville Station in early 70s.

      When I was 15, my girlfriend’s mother was appalled that I had no idea who Motley Crue was, but I knew all the other bands she mentioned.

      I look back now and imagine it’s like meeting a teenager who knows Green Day and Oasis, but has never heard of Blink 182.

  Reminds me of the anti-smoking campaign using animals. They did look cooler.

    Well, that backfired.

      Yes. Especially the monkey. It looked so cool I use that one as an avatar in some games.

    I wonder what he’s doing now. Probably in a ditch smoking meth.

  We have these pictures with warnings printed on the packs. Some are disgusting shit like rotten teeth and lung operations, but there is one of a child that inspects a cigarette. Every time I see that one, I have to think how that kid looks like a little version of Putin, but maybe I’m just crazy.

  I really wish it wasn’t unhealthy. It looks so cool in old videos. And also the esthetics of a lit sigarette in an ash tray producing a line of smoke rising to the ceiling.

  I miss smoking

  • ivanafterall@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I don’t miss smoking, because it was so costly and I felt and smelled terrible. But I do miss the effortless social interactions it led to all the time.

      This is the one thing I always felt that I missed out on by never being a smoker.

    I’m generally against “sin taxes” but I have to admit that the $2 bump per pack after I quit smoking made it easier to not look back. It’s now about $5 more (I think, I haven’t actually looked for a while.)

    After 18 years of smoking, I am glad I quit.

    Me too, however I miss it less frequently as time passes.

    Still hits you when you least expect it, though, it’s a deep seated addiction.

      I quit and it never appeals to me anymore. Unfortunately, that’s because I switched to vaping and it worked way too well, which was the entire point. Quitting vaping will be a bitch.

  Is it just me, or does she look GINORMOUS compared to that child? He looks at least 3, but is the relative size of my 5 month old?

  • Mr_Blott@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Maybe he’s a newborn but the smoking has aged him horribly
