Tobacco company executive are the pillars of society.

Too bad this can’t be updated to be about vaping…

I would not be sure that “safe as a twinkie” is a recommendation.

Mr Butts has been talking to RJ from Over the Hedge; or did this strip predate OTH?

Is Mr. Butts’ daughter a Virginia Slim?

Even a minor cigarette can’t smoke?

Mr Butts is a drag.

Mmmm, lung snacks…. drool

Almost wish I still smoked so I could use the expression ‘Lung snack’.

Lung snack? That’s a term I will use sometime soon! :D

When you’re selling possible death and sure decay to people you can’t afford to have to many ethics or morals. Make Mission! Period.

Wait a minute – was there a MRS. Butts??

Of course, cigarettes don’t have quite the same shelf life as Twinkies… maybe because they don’t have as much plastic in ’em.

I have my own lung snack, thank you, and it’s not nicotine (☠️ ⚰)…

Actually, as a person who is overweight and with type II diabetes, I can attest to the accuracy of their testimony

Well, Twinkies are rather bad for you.

Wow.

I can hardly wait to find out what they put in Twinkies to make them stay “Fresh” for 20+ years and what it does to the human body.

Actually, Congress allowed the tobacco executives to testify without being under oath. Think about that.

Somewhere there’s a recording of a tobacco exec saying “cigarettes are for the poor and the ignorant”…I remember it well.
