I believe I was in sixth grade when that album came out.
First of all, it used a whole lot of synthesizers, which were pretty new technology at the time, and I felt like I was living in the future when I heard it.
As to the album cover, it somehow didn’t register with my that it was a baby smoking.
Rather, it made me think of teenagers smoking in the high school bathroom.
Motley Crue’s Smokin in the Boys Room came out a year later, so I don’t think that influenced my mental image.
Hell yeah white baby
Had to make sure this was here. Good work.
I don’t get the reference but it sure made me laugh anyway
This fetus is bogarting. Not cool.

Reminds me of the anti-smoking campaign using animals. They did look cooler.
Well, that backfired.
Yes. Especially the monkey. It looked so cool I use that one as an avatar in some games.

We have these pictures with warnings printed on the packs. Some are disgusting shit like rotten teeth and lung operations, but there is one of a child that inspects a cigarette. Every time I see that one, I have to think how that kid looks like a little version of Putin, but maybe I’m just crazy.
see it, cannot unsee it
Hell yeah white baby
Who’s goddammed white baby is that?
I wonder what he’s doing now. Probably in a ditch smoking meth.
Pretty sure Don Draper made this ad.
I really wish it wasn’t unhealthy. It looks so cool in old videos. And also the esthetics of a lit sigarette in an ash tray producing a line of smoke rising to the ceiling.
Damn that kid looks cool

I miss smoking
I don’t miss smoking, because it was so costly and I felt and smelled terrible. But I do miss the effortless social interactions it led to all the time.
This is the one thing I always felt that I missed out on by never being a smoker.
nothing that drinking can’t fix
I’m generally against “sin taxes” but I have to admit that the $2 bump per pack after I quit smoking made it easier to not look back. It’s now about $5 more (I think, I haven’t actually looked for a while.)
After 18 years of smoking, I am glad I quit.
Is it just me, or does she look GINORMOUS compared to that child? He looks at least 3, but is the relative size of my 5 month old?
Maybe he’s a newborn but the smoking has aged him horribly

This reads like a quote from Disco Elysium.
