A brand I've never heard of, but speaking of No Smoking:-) Arkansas passed a State wide law a couple years back that there was no smoking permitted in restaurants. Before that, when the hostess would ask how many were in our party she'd also say, "Smoking preference?" and John would say, "Lucky Strikes". That's when you know you're old 'cause them young chicks didn't know what Lucky Strikes were...lol. Nice capture. Must be the day for signs about smoking...or not smoking:-)

This sign is doing double duty as a public service announcement - kind of its atonement. Great find.

A powerful image that brings home the message that smoking kills. Not just lung cancer, but heart disease as well. Once again, very masterly work. Bravo.
