And one of my favourite parts of the journey as a toy/novelty-obsessed kid were our stops at STUCKY'S rest-stops/restaurants along the way. I loved that place MAINLY for the gimmicky crap they sold to keep wee lads like me entertained on long jaunts. And one of those things was "smoking characters" like this. I remember having a little smoking dog (not a licensed character like Mr. Hound there) from one of those rest-stops for a long, long time.... I refused to let him "smoke" his last little cigarette until I got myself another one on a subsequent trip, but don't think that ever happened. I loved these dumb little things, the little smoke-rings that would puff out at timed intervals. I don't know how it worked and I don't want to. I was - and remains - magical to me.

Was this to make your room smell like smoke while you were traveling?
