Many years ago cigarettes were promoted to the public as a healthy form of relaxation - much in the way that food is currently promoted.

In 1961 Salem promised that 'you smoke a refreshed breath of springtime freshness in every puff'. Camel's pitch person was the magnificent John Wayne who said, 'Mild and good tasting pack after pack and I should know; I've been smokin 'em for 20 years.'  John died of lung cancer 20 years later, doing commercials at the end of his life that urged people to quit smoking.
