Winnie Langley started smoking only days after the First World War broke out in June 1914 when she was just seven-years-old - and has got through five a day ever since."
This women should be making her own commercials in response to those truth.com commercials. She started at age seven! Age seven! This women has had a love-affair with cigarettes since she was a prepubescent. If smokers ever needed a role-model to look up to or even needed a mascot, she would fit the mold.
