In April’s first blog we got into some of the history of our love affair with the sun. From celebrated tan lines to freckle faces, everyone wanted to show off their tanned skin. All the while, the clock was ticking, and sun damage was accumulating. Not that any of us knew that back in the… read more
Sun protection and cigarette smoking have an interesting similar trajectory. Back in the 40s and 50s it seemed everyone, literally, smoked cigarettes. Cigarette companies even enlisted doctors to support their claims of “doctor-recommended” brands and the like. And then came the 60s and information about scientific research linking lung cancer and emphysema to cigarette smoking… read more
OK, if you’re out at Goldie’s in Brooklyn, that question in the headline may elicit a quizzical look from the person you’re trying to start up conversation with.
