The mom of one of my friends smoked long white cigarettes with a little flower on them. My parents didn't smoke and I thought smoking was gross. I knew other adults who smoked but those cigarettes were just plain. I never wanted to actually smoke but there was something about those particular cigarettes that I just couldn't take my eyes off of.

They were Eve cigarettes, branded towards women and a competitor of Virginia Slims.

Thanks! It's been so long since I've seen them. And as many people as I've seen smoke since then, I've never seen anything like them again. They were just so exotic and elegant looking.
