Hello friend, it's been a long time, the same I really like old advertisements of all kinds, on this one, you can see the significant effort made to associate smoking with virility.
Yes Indeed I remember being a child and seeing my elders smoke like chimneys. For those interested in the history of the ad, please see the following video:
"Around the 1930s, it was starting to be advertised as a women's cigarette, based on the slogan "Mild As May". However, as early as 1885, a brand called "Marlborough" was already being marketed as a "ladies' favorite" by Philip Morris & Co.[9]" hey man suck these nuts
Oh, the idea that Marlboro was around in 1885? That's a bit of a stretch. The evidence points to a brand called "Marlborough," not Marlboro specifically. Plus, Marlboro didn't hit the scene until 1924. So, it's safe to say that the Marlboro of 1885 is more of a historical hiccup than a reality.
