I can vouch for AnchorAlum above. I distinctly remember the warning in 1964 b/c a HUGE deal was made about it. I was a bratty youngster at the time and proceeded to go up to my Grandpa and uncles and tell them cigarettes would kill them with cancer and they needed to stop immediately. (they prob. wanted to smack me since they were long time smokers). As an historical note, the word "cancer" was hardly ever spoken out loud. Very few people died of it (or so we thought) and people whispered the word and stayed away thinking it may be contagious. In the late '60's they were called "cancer sticks" even by smokers. The box with the surgeon general's warning was on each pack by the mid '60's. These people should not get a dime in settlement. It was a personal choice.
