Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette

"To capture voters in coal country and smokestack towns, he needs an old-fashioned coffin nail. Unfiltered Camels come to mind, except Joe Camel has been tarred as a come-on to children. Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch—a slogan better suited to bruised Clinton supporters. And Marlboro, reported to be Mr. Obama’s brand before he quit, evokes the wide open spaces and low-electoral-vote country of Montana or Wyoming.
"So my choice would be Winston, which was the longtime sponsor of Nascar. Or, perhaps, Mr. Obama could take up smokeless tobacco. I’m sure the campaign can poll this kind of thing."

Tony Horwitz in The New York Times recommends that Barack Obama should resume smoking cigarettes.
