The fact that we all know smoking is terrible aside, that is a very well put together costume. Someone put a lot of time into making that. Neat look at how much times have changed.
Me and my 5 friends went as a 6 pack of coor’s light in the early 80’s. All the moms sewed us the costumes to fit over our snowsuits. Had a tinfoil covered pull tab stitched to our toques.
It was so cool when there were more than 5 acceptable Halloween costumes. When Halloween was a night for freedom of expression, when you could be mildly offensive, and at least partially free of judgment. That’s what Halloween was all about. That’s why less conservative people could express themselves, like LGBT people. It’s really a shame and hypocritical that they basically shut the door behind them.
My father pulled up to the store, gave me 4 quarters and told me to get him 2 packs of the ones with Camels on them. A machine was right there when you walked into the store.
r/agedlikemilk LOL! Times have sure changed!
Scary!
Also, Salems.
Salem, Mass. Known for witch history. Halloween costume. Lol.

OMG I went as a pack of Marlboros.
Smokin’!
Going as the number one killer in America – spot on!
What a butthead
In the 70’s I’d be surprised if there was any unacceptable costumes.

That is one of the best 70s homemade costumes I’ve ever seen! Puts my robot costume I was about to post to shame.
Butt head
This is a really cute costume 😍 💕.
I went to that cigarette factory on a field trip in second or third grade. Greetings from Winston-Salem!
I went as a pack of marlboro reds 5 years ago. What a blast.

Old school, yes. Cool, no.
You’re a peace pipe. I get it.
My parents smoked Salem my entire childhood, and I believe that is why we were hardly sick… or why I have a cough today…
I am pretty sure kids went dressed up as the camel at some point
It’s totally acceptable now too
It’s acceptable now…..
My granny smoked them, guess what my first cig was in the 2nd grade?
Crazy how times change. I remember my inside of malls having ashtrays as well as people smoking in restaurants, fast food and otherwise in the 80s
That costume is squares.
Modern version is a joint.
