Description:
"We make Virginia Slims especially for women because they're biologically superior to men. That's right, superior. Women are more resistant to starvation, fatigue, exposure, shock, and illness than men are. Women have two 'X' chromosomes in their sex cells, while men only have one 'X' chromosome and a 'Y' chromosome...which some experts consider to be the inferior chromosome. They are also less inclined to congenital baldness, Albinism of the eyes, improperly developed sweat glands, color blindness of the red-green type, day blindness, defective hair follicles, defective iris, defective tooth enamel, double eyelashes, skin cysts, shortsightedness, night blindness, nomadism, retinal detachment, and white occupital locks of hair. In view of these and other facts, the makers of Virginia Slims feel it highly inappropriate that women continue to use the fat, stubby cigarettes designed for mere men." "You've come a long way, baby." Virginia Slims. Slimmer than the fat cigarettes men smoke. With rich Virginia flavor women like."
