Two Astonishing Cigarette Adverts From The Golden Age of LIES!

This is for anyone who has decided to quit cigarettes this Year. Don’t bother.

Look!

Fred Flintstone And Barney Rubble do it, and they’re cool….right?

No, they’re not, they’re both dead, but I thought it would be interesting to show you these two gems from the good old days when we all lived to the ripe old age of 46.

Who the hell were they appealing to with this ad? Oh yeah, children.

Ok, well here’s one for the adults then….

That’s right kids, more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette. Proof if we ever actually needed it that television is inherently evil and will destroy you and all that you love eventually.

I’m familiar with the Flintstones ad, but hadn’t seen the doctor one prior to this.

What Jimmy said, only backwards.

I hadn’t seen either until tonight. I do have an amazing collection of old cigarette and booze ads from the 20′s onwards, including some great ones of Jack Palance and Jimmy Stewart. I must dig them out. I couldn’t believe the Flintstones one. Wow.
