About The Record:

Cigarettes was the first album after Punk band Battered Wives changed their name, due to protests, to The Wives. The most notable song from Cigarettes was New Wave Robot. For his work on Cigarettes, the designer Rodney Bowes won a Juno for Best Album Graphics at the Juno Awards of 1980.
