It sounds like he switched, rather than fight.

Mum used to get annoyed because it was “Us Tareyton smokers” instead of “We”. Us do what?

I remember those ads, especially from the magazines… the smokers would be smiling with a black smudge under their eye (supposedly a black eye) allegedly because they were fighting over it. Women too…

LSMFT…Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco!

Kent had the Micronite filter, Parliament had the recessed filter, Tareyton had the split filter (half regular and half charcoal), Doral had some kind of weird plastic chambered insert.
