Smoking wasn’t always considered unhealthy, at
least, not in the content of the marketing campaigns targeting
an unaware public. Knowing what we know now about the effect of
smoking, and the checkered history of cigarette branding in
America, vintage cigarette ads are viewed in a much different
light than they were half a century ago. In light of
changes in public awareness, here are some of the most
entertaining and interesting vintage cigarette ads. Who knew
Santa comforted himself on his long, cold sleigh rides with
puffs on his Lucky Strikes, and the tasty smoke of Chesterfield
tobacco? Christmas themed advertising is no surprise, but it’s
interesting to see such a pinnacle in American culture puffing
away, along with some famous celebrities. If you look closely,
you might even notice a future President endorsing his favorite
cigarette! This collection
includes over 1100 nostalgic ads and starts in the early 1900s and proceeds through
1965. Also included are 50 memorable and entertaining TV commercials
and videos.
All ads may be
printed directly from the software or may be copied to disk or
the clipboard for processing in any graphics package.
