Old cigarette ads
These old cigarette ads made me nostalgic for older times when smoking was the norm and accepted
      TRANSLATION: i'D RATHER BE BEATEN THAN GIVE UP MY CIGARETTES  Anyone for a nostalgic cancer stick?

Nothing makes a good ad campaign like domestic violence:

I recall the line being "I'd rather fight than switch". I think it was for for Benson & Hedges.

Those ads crack me up. "Guard against throat scratch"...LOL. Wish I could read the "Here's how to smoke all you want"...anyone have a bigger pic? Hard to believe that anybody bought this schlock advertising back then. Then again, most ads today are schlock too.
 I had no idea that Ronnie, who is actually one of my political heroes, did ads like that. Nobody's perfect... |

It's interesting to see Pall Mall ads featuring armed forces personnel. My father was a career soldier and smoked Pall Mall and died of lung cancer. Think there's a connection?

My friend has an old video tape of vintage TV commercials, one of them is the Flintstones selling cigarettes... Fred and Barny toking down on cigs the size of their head... hilarious!
We're still buying stuff that is slowly killing us... the more things change the more they stay the same.
