    Disco's Smoking Section

    ******


    The disco era .

    Smoking wasn't yet considered a negative to most then .....

    ..... quite acceptable as evidenced in this gallery of images from the disco days when a cigarette would be included as part of the setting without a consideration of propriety :



    ALL I NEED is a cigarette ????








    NIGHTCLUBBING
    : There it is ...some shoulder pads ... a cigarette ... purple skin .... ready to go !






    this one has it all : tobacco
    , drink , ....and .....:icon_eek:

    thanks mixmachine .....I couldn't figure out how to get the image !! (this was the picture that started me thinking about this too )




    please feel free to add additions to the "smoking gallery" !!

    Skooter !! :icon_eek:
    You're flawed! :icon_cry: Say it ain't so !!:icon_cry:

    I can remember a thread here abouts where you boasted quite proudly ( rightly so ) that you aren't a drinker ....and you pointed out that for one thing doing so kills brain cells .

    You may be interested to read:

    Rodents that took the medium and higher doses of nicotine suffered a 50% higher loss in the production of new brain cells than the non-nicotine group, as well as a significantly higher rate of brain cell death.
    from : SMOKING KILLS BRAIN CELLS

    I know smoking is very seventies nightlife- ish ............but it is as a friend that I bring you this information .... ....

    Re: Disco's Smoking Section

    Not that I'm promoting smoking, far from that but:

    1. I'm not a Rodent
    2. Nicotine prevents brain diseases like Alzheimer and Dementia. Proven! The other junk that is in cigarettes is the killer (tar, etc.)

    So scientists are now trying to invent a way of giving Nicotine to the body without the other stuff.

    BTW, I never smoke American cigarettes, only Belgian who have a natural tobacco mix (I'm not saying that there healthy) and I never smoke Light Cigs.

    And I like a good Havana (Cuban that is )

    And, indeed I never drink alcohol, only Water (without bubbles), Coffee (black) and Coke (never light or zero). I'm 1 boring guy to go to a bar with, when it comes to drinking :icon_eek: Another study says that nicotine combined with alcohol is 1 killer!

    But I never leave the door without my:



    Now 1 question, over here Bacardi is THE gay drink! Is that true?



    The only artist that always smoked on almost every pic was Gainsbarre. And yes, it killed him (and gallons of alcohol).

    I'm more boring: No alcohol , no smokes, water : tap only , no Coke no Diet Coke (no sodas of any kind) , no milk , coffee: YES ! (black & strong )


    But I never leave the door without my:

    conclusion : heavy smoker :icon_sad:

    Now 1 question, over here Bacardi is THE gay drink! Is that true
    hmmmm ... , I can say only that I very much liked Bacardi




    That photo of Travolta is amazing . Never seen it before ... but it says a lot ....

    I thought the title of this thread referred to the "Sicko" debate :icon_smile:

    I remember there was some "women cigarettes" back then, in my country the label was Virginia Slims. They were thinner and came in pink cases. Do you guys remember something like that? Ms. Dayna, perhaps?

    Is it not a glowing white neon cigarette hanging from the mouth of the model on the cover of the Amant LP?

    Re: Disco's Smoking Section

    remicks, you prefer tap water? That goes against the So Cal lifestyle :icon_lol:
    Anyway, I'll drink most anything 'cept Yukon Jack. That kicked my ass a few times

    "Which smells more piquant ....my armpit ... or my cig breath?"
    If Diana is like some women, both can work for me

    Smoking was part of the ambiance. I'm sure there were plenty of artist that showed that on their album covers.
    Find them and destroy them!

    She's "post-disco" --but what about that photo of Madonna with the leather biker cap and the ciggie butt hangin' out of her mouth....I think it was a cover on one of her 12" singles....circa 1990---1995???
