Retro cigarettes ads

Category: Inspiration, Retro

40 years ago smoking wasn’t bad - or at least commercials shown it this way. From today’s point of view those ads are simply ridiculous - but in 60s and 70s they were creating the reality.
Besides huge negative impact that goes with somking - those ads have a very nice, retro feel.
Ok - so let’s go with those:

Smoking is good for you - and here is the proof for it.

    I love these old cigarette adverts. The Camels Fathers day advert is my favourite…. and the ‘Should a gentlemen offer a Tiparillo to a violinist?’ Just brilliant, It’s incredible that they ever got away with that!!
