Hollywood says: Smoke em if you got em!

It was known as the Golden Age of Hollywood, a time when movies defined who we were and what we did. But it was also the golden age of tobacco sponsorship of the movies, a time when the tobacco companies paid the stars of the day thousands of dollars - as well as a year's supply of cigarettes - to promote their products, on and off-screen.

I don't know about you, but I do everything Joan Crawford tells me to do.
