Editorial changes

I have sought to make the entry more neutral in that, no matter how ingrained the brand may be in the world's psyche, it is still a death stick. I used to smoke the brand fifty years ago and, whenever I visited France, I would bring back as many as the customs authorities permitted. I think I will always remember the taste with affection.

Name

Shouldn't this article be moved to Gauloises? This is the first time that I have seen the name Gauloise. J-C V 18:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not; WP prefers singulars. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But the brand name is Gauloises; so why not use that as the article's name? It has been moved now anyway. J-C V 17:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with wanting to move it, the brand is spelled GAULOISES only. --Mrtobacco 18:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Availability

In mid 2003 the Gauloises brand was discontinued entirely in the USA. Remaining inventory carried through into early 2004.

Is there a citation for this, or any indeed cite at all for the discontinuation of the brand from the U.S. market? I can personally attest to finding Gauloises readily available at Austin, Texas stores until March 2006. Since then I've been unable to find any primary sources with details on the exit from the U.S. market. - cobra libre 20:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

French Smoking Ban

  A similar smoking ban in France, however, failed in parliament in November 2005.

I think I saw in the news recently that a smoking ban has since passed 71.41.125.210 21:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Race Car?

I am going to remove the image of the race car sponsored by this company. I feel it is misleading and inappropriate. If anything, it can be put towards the bottom of the page. For now, it is removed. --24.15.165.14 00:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronounciation

How do you say the name? Goo-loo-a? I don't speak french, so i'm a bit lost here...
