    All the talk of the “T-zone” got kind of weird.

    These ads were the tobacco industry responding to evidence that smoking was bad for your health and linked to cancer. The tobacco industry executives knew there was even more evidence not available to the public. This ad is a lie that likely killed someone.

      That “your throat, your choice” part in the corner was clearly an answer to people saying it’s bad for the throat.

    I used to be a camel smoker. there were days when I was broke and was bumming cigarettes all day, and when I finally got my camels, oof it was so nice. they were delicious, that Turkish tobacco after smoking bummed Marlboro Reds and Pall Malls all day

    I quit nicotine about 6 years ago.

    I remember my Dad telling me this was something that happened - these ads with smoking and doctors - and it blew my mind even in the 80’s when seatbelts weren’t really a thing yet.
