Steve had always been a troubled child. His father left when Steve was 4 years old, and he was brought up as a single child by his mother who'd leave him alone at home for long periods of time.
Through his early school years, Steve was expelled numerous times for his dysfunctional behaviour, unable to control his anger towards the world around him.
Changes at the top.
Things changed when a new Head Teacher arrived. Mr Jones was in his early 40s, smart and charismatic. He was very different from the previous Head... one main reason being that Mr Jones was a well established member of the local Marlboro Men's Club (MMC).
The MMC had been waiting for the opportunity to instal one of their own to be in charge of the school, with the previous Head being resistant to influence. It was the only school in the area where the harvesting of recruits for Marlboro was out of reach. There was only one Marlboro Youth Club (MYC) member at the school, and his work was greatly impeded by the Head's anti-smoking regime.
Workings behind the scenes eventually produced results, and the Head resigned. With enough of the school governors being recruited members of the MMC, they ensured that one of their own was installed as Head.
Processes initiated.
Mr Jones quickly began making changes, providing a 'smoking shelter' and easing off all smoking restrictions as far as he could. Finally, the MMC had brought the school in line under it's authority, and the processes of recruitment for the MYC could be set in motion.
Steve's potential.
Steve was already a smoker, but uninitiated to Marlboro. Mr Jones took note of all the potential students for the first phase of recruitment, but Steve stood out as having the most long term potential, due to his lack of purpose and direction and his aggressive manner.
After reporting back to the MMC, Mr Jones instructed the sole MYC member at the school to befriend Steve and begin working towards Steve's initiation in the MYC.
Otherwise friendless, Steve responded well to his new friend's manipulation, with his need for a sense of purpose and direction quickly turning to Marlboro in the hands of a well-trained recruiter.
____________
Three months later, Steve had become well established in the Marlboro Youth Club (MYC), becoming engrossed in the routines and rituals of the weekly meetings, and obsessively focused on his new purpose. Mr Jones had rightly seen the enormous potential in Steve.
The office.
A disused toilet block on the edge of town became Steve's 'office' to do his work. Steve had been very effectively 'rehabilitated' by his MMC Handler. Every aspect of his urges and needs had been channelled into a deep-seated devotion to Marlboro.
He soon built up numbers of targets at the school, taking each one of the lads to his office to work on privately after school.
These one-to-one sessions were where Steve flourished, revelling in the power he could develop over his targets as he manipulated their needs and urges towards Marlboro. He ensured girlfriends were discarded as Steve moulded their urges exclusively upon Marlboro and the importance of developing a heavy addiction and dependency.
Within three months of Steve's initiation into the MYC, he delivered eight new Marlboro addicts to the MYC. With a further four delivered by the other MMC member at the school, there were now fourteen MYC lads working in the school to recruit for Marlboro and the club.
Purpose established.
Finally, Steve was no longer disruptive at school. He had been given a purpose. A very useful purpose which gave him enormous gratification. His own charisma flourished as he learnt the MYC recruitment methods and developed his targeted peers into Marlboro addiction and obsession under his control at his office.
Under Mr Jones's regime, Marlboro smoking became visible at the school, with lads proudly showing their packs. It became the 'in thing', with those who resisted being referred to as losers by the 'cool' lads.
All new initiates of the MYC received their puffer jackets, making them distinctive from the other lads at the school.
Mr Jones awarded Steve the position of Head Boy, which made a major statement of a cultural change. The pressure on the 'losers' to conform increased, and the rich harvest of fresh Marlboro addicts from the school began to be gathered in.
The school was now a fully functioning, efficient and unrestricted production line of dedicated Marlboro addicts for the MYC.
The MMC mission was accomplished.

After some personal difficulties intruding into what is most important, it’s time to spend quality time edging and smoking to the production of a new story of the Marlboro Men’s Club.
The elevation of Marlboro in its right place of authority is important. It’s our duty.
