Marlboro E Cigarette

Why Marlboro are the Most Popular Cigarettes in the World?

For a moment put Marlboro, Winston or any top selling cigarettes in the back burner and think why is any photo copying machine in the world known and called as Xerox as if Xerox is the machine’s generic name? Fine, why only Marlboro does always strike to both smokers and non smokers at the mention of cigarettes? Simple, and there can be only one answer to this set of questions. Marlboro is the best selling cigarette of this world and it is so ever since. If you aren’t in agreement with me, spare a moment and search for the simple keyword ‘cheap cigarettes’ in ‘video.google.com’ for instance and I am sure you will see images of cheap Marlboro cigarettes prominently displayed. I would like to think that this is a kind of unsolicited acknowledgement for the brand, perhaps unintentional also, by a world renowned open knowledge source project.

Now for the million dollar question, why is Marlboro cigarette the most popular brand in the world? We need to get into to some historical mood and from there move on to a modern, live wire marketer’s shoes in order to understand this.

Tobacco has always enthralled humans and prehistoric human remains vindicate this fact by exhibiting traces of nicotine. Obviously the tobacco of that era can be assumed to be raw and harder than any cigarette today inclusive of cheap cigarettes. What perhaps started as chance ingestion or a part of some sacred activity has given in to sort of smoking by 15th century when Columbus rediscovered tobacco in 1492. Tobacco ruled, in patches, as ‘country money’ for sometime before taking the form of cigarettes.

Marlboro cigarettes were aptly projected and billed as women’s cigarettes around 1924 but had to make over its image in totality after the debacle during the World War II. When they are reintroduced, Marlboro was a complete new package and came riding on the new found and much romanticized popularity of the cowboy.

It is also pertinent to know why a cowboy is a hero, especially, in America and the rest of the Americanized world. Cowboy is the first hero and the much romanticized symbol of Americanism. They are always perceived and looked down upon as the pioneers of enterprising nature and fearlessness which are major reasons for what America is today. They are the ultimate men made from tougher material. Think tanks at Philip Morris had the challenge of carefully grooming this symbolic nationalism further and weave their cigarettes into it.

Switch over to Marlboro advertisements and TV commercials now. They focus on more on the virility, masculinity, the brevity with which they capture horses, glorification of their friendship etc with one hidden message that everyone should emulate them. Cowboys are strong guys and you will want to make a connection between this and hardness of the cigarettes.

And then there is this worldwide magic created by Hollywood, which, during the formative years of Marlboro from being cheap, has produced some of the history’s biggest block busters like ‘Magnificent Seven’, ‘Mc Cana’s Gold’ have immortalized the cowboy. Smoking was instantaneously equated with heroics which is evident from the 5000% jump in sales figures.

If this is a brief account of Marlboro’s success story, modern marketing blitzkrieg, exchangeable Marlboro miles or motorsport sponsorship etc, is efficiently sustaining the position for the brand. Cheap Marlboro cigarettes is another avenue open to glide over for the brand.

what do you think about this paragraph from a teen story?

"Oh hi, you alright?" I smiled and looked up at him briefly, wondering whether or not he actually remembered me, and then went back to talking to Larni.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm bless, you?"
"Yeah, I'm good." I turned to face him again. "Who you with?"
"Max, Mike, Robin...I think Tilly's here aswell somewhere. You got a ***?"
It was at this point, that he asked me for a '***', that I knew what was on his mind. S - E - X. It was so obvious, and I don't even know if it was intended to be but, either way, I could tell by the way he accepted my packet of Marlboro Reds with a slight smile that he thought he was going to get it.
"Raaah...I haven't seen you since that night in the park." He commented, as if it had just occured to him. So this was his tactic - mention that night and see how I reacted in order to find out whether he was going to get it.
I gave what I hoped was an ambiguous kind of smile and lit my own cigarette.

has potential but needs work. i might read a book of that, after a true editer had plowed through it.

I love the line "I gave what I hoped was an ambiguous kind of smile and lit my own cigarette." It's so tasteful.

if this work is yours, here are a few suggustions:

Characters are normal enough. I'm assumingg that the slang is for character development. but her thoughts are proper. if she really was 'gangster' she wold have slang in her thoughts to, even if it was just once in awhile. this makes the reader confused, because they dont understand why the author is using conflicting steriotypes. if she's doing that on purpose, a background explination would be useful.(such as answering Who's Lani? and Why is she asking if he's alright?)

by saying "i don't even know if it was entended to be", you imply that she might let him get what he wants. But then, by saying "he thought he was going to get it" and describing his "tactic", you suggust that she's not letting her gaurd down. that makes it confuseing

as and well are two different words

be clear about ***

i hate players like that.

I hope this was helpful.
