All the wise guys on the other side of the pond (Italy & Sicily) smoked a cigarette called "MS" in the gold box. This was in the mid eighties... not sure what it is these days.
They still have that. My husband buys it in Sicily when we're there. He also buys a lot of Marlboro Gold when we're there, but they're different than regular Marlboro's that you buy here. Almost like they don't have a filter.
I'm looking at a pack right now (I dont smoke, though) and the warning label on the cigarettes flat out says, "Il fumo uccide" meaning "Smoking Kills". Nothing like being upfront and to the point. lol
