Subscribe Now!Old Cigarette Ads
July 10th, 2007 by Karen
Cleaning through a neighbor’s old house turned up a lot of interesting things: old bottles, toys, newspapers, and magazines. Most interesting were the magazines from over thirty years ago. They still had cigarette ads in them, and I thought, jeez, this is some crazy stuff. One quick search later, and I discovered that some old cig ads were really over the top:
Yeah! All the good things cigarettes do for you! Like lung disease! And cancer!
Yeah, dad! Thanks for smoking! I love developing asthma!
Not one, but TWO layers of cellophane! So it’s fresh! Like…eggs?
Right. If a man blew smoke into my face, I’d sure follow him anywhere. With a steak knife.
Not sure how well you can read this one, but it suggests that every puff of smoke cleans itself. Which is pretty much a lie, but check out the cute kitty cleaning itself, like the lying smoke!
Heh…a man kept a dog with no legs. He named it Cigarette, because every night he took it out for a drag.
I’m so sorry.
Smoking is bad for you, kids. No matter what the lady in the white powdered wig says.
Two great lines there…
“You never feel over-smoked…” - I didn’t know you could be under or over smoked… let alone ‘feel’ it!
“Blow in her face and she’ll follow you anywhere” - I guess it depends what you blow in her face, and how much you are paying her for the privilege of said blowing…
Sorry - had to be noted…
Hmmm … let me see if I can follow this …
- All hens lay fresh eggs
- All cigarettes are not fresh
- Therefore … cigarettes are not eggs!
Brilliant!
I don’t advocate smoking eggs, but what about smoking a ham? What about second-hand smoked ham? You know, leftovers. Are pork filters on the way, too? I won’t even mention the salmon I smoked as a kid.
A few days ago, a TV channel here showed off an old archived commercial where it was stated “those ciggies are good for your health”.

“All cigarettes are not fresh”
Ok so since THEIR cigarettes are included in “All” That means that their cirgarettes are also “not fresh”.
Logic apparently wasn’t invented until two years later.
