Smoking: How Times Have Changed

I found this interesting blog page that contains old smoking television ads. The page includes an I Love Lucy ad for Phillip Morris containing the requisite 12-year-old boy singing a Phillip Morris ditty. (Isn't that sweet?) Also, on the page you get to see Fred and Barney light up a Winston along with Wilma catching a smoke at the end.

These two ads had me laughing out loud because they would seem so out of place today and would stir up a world of controversy if they were broadcast on TV. Times were so very different.

The last video is Yul Brynner saying not to smoke, from the grave. An effective ad as well, I'd say.

Here's the link: Cigarette Television Ads.

145tech's Gravatar I thought the LVA and its products were supposed to be about gambling?? What does this finger-pointing attitude have to do with gaming at all? Just wondering... I can get my daily dose of anti-smoking warnings and second-hand smoke hysteria elsewhere.
