In honor the past six weeks of me not smoking, here are some old cigarette ads:

If I ever start smoking again, it will probably be because somebody offers me a pastel-colored cigarette. Hopefully with a gold foil filter.

Let’s run maniacally down this beach smoking cigarettes! Buh buh buh bah! What a good time… for a nic fit! Buh bah buh baaaaaaaaaah!

It’s Lady B. Kool, need I say more?

“The cigarette that brings you fresh air?” Somebody is definitely going to hell for this ad.

This is just swingin’. I should have spent more time singing songs about cigarettes when I was a smoker.

Dear Lord, those are cool ashtrays. Can you imagine what it was like in the days when people smoked at work?

Mmmmm… like your pack.

…do you know this hotdog is talking to me?

(longer version here.)

Please someone find me one of these before next Christmas! (Creepy-eyed devil kid not included.)
