Vintage Cigarette Advertisements

Here are some vintage cigarette advertisements. Interesting glimpse if a bygone era.









Dedicated to Sgt. Howard Bruckner 1950 - 1969. KIA LONG KHANH.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

I remember many of those.  I love old advertising in general.
One of the biggest incentives to smoke was Camel sending over free cigarettes during WWII. 
I still think about them a lot of the time.  Double cap and 2 butts;  mmmmmm
Dude- your 8 layers are showing!

Cool ads.

(Those 'doctor' ads would never fly today.)

Glad I gave them up a long time ago.  Along with the paisley shirts!  :D

Something about "inhaling" and blowing, etc....very, very naughty.

Makes me want to start up the habit again.
