What? Santa’s got a tough job — stuffing oneself down a chimney is no easy feat. And have you ever smelled a reindeer? Worse than a Tauntaun. So when his shift is over, Santa could use a smoke. Our friends at Oobject have assembled 12 of his favourite brands.
After you burn through this list, check out these less-than-honest cigarette ads, condom commercials from around the world, and these unimpressive computer spots
Murad Cigarettes
Camel Cigarettes and Prince Albert Tobacco

Saturday, December 24, 2011 at 12:27 PMThese sorts of adds make it very tempting to smoke I have to say. I hate cigarettes and avoid them, but there is no denying these images and choice of words would entice the young to atleast try them.
I do enjoy quality tobacco in the form of cigars/pipes a few times a year, Christmas or New Years is a great time to have a cigar and celebrate the year.
