      Hi,
      Not sure if this is relevant. Anyway, it’s different.

      A couple of different ‘smoking’ (tobacco) advertisements..
      The first is from circa 1950? The other is early 1900s. Each one is quite a curiosity.

      The first is an ad for Camel Lights or some low tar menthol light. The setting is a Doctor’s office with a very authoritative ‘doctorly’ father-figure. The ad explicitly boasts something like,
      “Today, More Doctors Prefer Camel Lights over any other leading Cigarette. Sure, Doctors know it’s lowest in tar, but it’s also the smooth, mild flavor… Doctors enjoy!”

      The second is a photograph from the early 1900s (1920s?), taken at the finish line of the Tour de France I believe.
      A bunch of the cyclists are photographed riding side by side, exhausted and smoking cigarettes together during cool-down.
