Let me tell you the story behind mancho men Marlboro ads.. it is pretty interesting... w bema enno ana fat7al bel advertising w el marketing i'll share it :)

When smoking started in the world it wasnt these cigarretes we see today. It was either a pipe or cigars. They were pretty big smoking stuff and totally adressed to men. We cute women didnt want to look like we are men.. so the normal cigarretes we see today were for women. Because they are smaller w na3meen w heik...

Marlboro guys didnt like the idea and wanted to sell more..

They wanted men to smoke these because men were the real smokers back then and the sector was bigger obviously more money

so balasho ad campaigns

to show that it is manly to smoke these cigarretes.. and even cowboys elli hommi TOUGH boys smoke them.. and men later started buying them w heik esas . w el nas 7abatha because they were easier to smoke than the traditional means of smoking.. w heikkkk

That's the story i heard.. mish 3arfeh how true it is la2enno sara7a I never digged it up..

fhemti eshi? la2? wala ana!

love ;)

Haven't been here for a while (sowwy)
Let me tell you my take on this
The number of smokers in the US is going down steadily (after the cigarette companies lost billions in the law suits)
But, to take care of that and remain in business, they expanded to other markets... Everywhere ELSE in the world.
By the way, that add is not targeted to the educated and sophisticated who will see through their lies
It's targeting the Youth and the normal people.
Did you know, there are NO cigarette adds on TV or ANYWHERE I've been to in the US! yet, it's ALL OVER THE PLACE in Jordan and the rest of the developing countries

I smoke, I admit, but I will quit. It was the worst habit that you could pick from your best friend! The good thing she got married and now she can teach the bad habits to her husband :D

Hi Qwaider,
You are right; there are no ads for cigarettes on TV now days. It is weird that the # of smokers in the west is decreasing while the # in our societies is increasing! I hope you will quite smoking soon. Wish you all the best and thank you for passing by.
Cheers,
H.

Hi Caller,
You are one of the wonderful people I always read for. I hope I can meet you in person. I'm traveling to Cairo soon (too soon in fact) and I hope to meet you.
Thank you for your complement. I appreciate it so much.
Regards,
H.

The caller,
I was thinking about what should I reply to your comment and I used your name instead in the "by" line... hahahah- I need a new brain. Sorry for this mistake.
H.
