I remember going into stores and buying cigarettes for my Mom and Dad. ("Give me a pack of Winstons and a pack of Kools, please.") I was never turned down, not once. Did I ever smoke? Heck no! I was non-smoking before it was cool!
I can remember getting caught at work (during summer vacation from high school) with a wad of Red Man Chewing Tobacco in my right cheek while I was down in the basement loading up a cart full of merchandise to take upstairs to sell on the showroom floor of the hardware store. After getting home from work at the end of the day, I confessed to getting caught and swallowing the wad in an attempt to hide the evidence. I think my dad started peeing in his pants even before I got to the part about turning green. Quite frankly, I failed to see the humor in the story at the time. Sigh.

That didn't work with me...but I'm a non-smoker now.
