Remember when after an Olympic race like a 400Meter 1st thing the winner did was light a cigarette?

They would still be walking off the track and they would be lighting up a smoke. They carried them with them in their socks during the race.

And that is what us kids were watching back then.

Unbelievable, isn't it?
