Back in the day I was fascinated with Joe Camel. He was cool and slick with his shades and blazing cigarette in his mouth. See my dad used to smoke Camel cigarettes so it only seemed natural for me to want to smoke as well. For some reason the markets had the cigarettes for sale by the checkout stand. You could literally grab them and put them on the counter to buy. The smokes were located where the candy is for sale now. Well as a young kid I remember leaning towards the cigarettes and putting several packs in my pocket. I think my stepdad was in line with me which is just crazy.
I soon realized that there were vending machines around town that had cigarettes for sale. Much easier than stealing them. These events happened around the time I was about to start the 6th grade. Crazy to think. But that was me once again. A young kid fascinated with sin. A world I longed to be a part of.
