Practical medicine is based partly in science, but not science. The actual science has changed little from what we know now. The Association Between Smoking Habits and Death Rates - Hammond and Horn; August 7, *1954* ; Journal of the American Medical Association article: “It was found that men with a history of regular cigarette smoking have a considerably higher death rate than men who have never smoked or men who have smoked only cigars or pipes” There were many previous studies as early as the 1930's that showed the same but relied on surveys of two groups, people with and without lung cancer. The latter tended to underestimate number of cigarettes per day while the former overestimated; so the results were not trusted as reliable.

Back in the early 60's they came out with a 'lettuce leaf' cigarette! It was called, "Bravo!", it was after 1963 when MOST doctors stopped smoking due to, well, you know. I remember going to the doctor and them smoking in the examining room. I remember getting yelled at by my doctor back in the 80's when he asked if I smoked. I said, "Yes", he yelled at me pretty loud for that, saying, "Why do you think we doctors stopped smoking in 1963?". He was a real jerk, but that was true. Anyway, the unfiltered Bravo! cigarette was just a fad, it smelled EXACTLY like burning leaves, or, MJ, since it can too. (Or so I hear!!!) Bravo! tasted really dry, and it'd burn your throat really bad, in other words, I only tried them once, just that one pack, but my friends helped me get rid of them, they wanted to try it. I believe that it was 1993 when my place of employment stopped the smoking of cigarettes inside of the building, now, that seems like a million years ago. I stopped smoking about 16 years ago, I haven't wanted one since, I look at people now and think how stupid it all is, especially the younger people, back when I started. (in 1961) It wasn't widely known that cigarettes were causing cancer, at least by the people. Good times! (Cough! Coff-coff!) :)

These ads were also in print magazines like Look and Life. They were the tobacco companies first attempts to sway their public image when the first medical reports about the health hazards of smoking. There was also an add campaign, "Reach for a Lucky (Strike) instead of a sweet". Prior to WW II most tobacco sold in America was chewing or spitting tobacco. Concerns about the spread of TB via spitting resulted in anti-spitting ordances, and then BIG TOBACCO started pushing cigarettes.

And we trust the media, state and advertising agencies to paint an accurate picture of the world today. The average joe would be shocked to find out how many lies they are fed even today.

People believed smoking was good for you back then. Boy, they sure were gullible. Now they're being encouraged and in some places required to wear face masks. But excessive wearing of a mask can lead to breathing problems such as a lack of oxygen, breathing back in your own CO2 and other toxins. That's not good for your lungs. Hopefully, someday the truth will come out about the dangers of face masks and doctors will strongly encourage people not to wear them.

When people say - if certain ingredients are so bad, why would they be allowed to put them in food.

@saintsg4 i wasn't all that familiar with captain morgan till you mentioned him. i was a bit familiar with his name and logo, but i didn't realize he was/is such a big deal. after your comment, i looked him up, and he does seem interesting. yea, people dressing up as morgan. i've never been much into rum. back when i drank much alcohol, it was mainly beer and scotch ( scottish whisky ). i sometimes drank scotch till i could practically hear the bagpipes buzzing in my ears.

It goes to prove even medical doctors have their own price to sell out to tobacco companies and the dangers of smoking cigarettes 🚬

I have personally reviewed tens of thousands of pages of documents pertaining to cases involving tobacco litigation. Cigarettes contained numerous ingredients (other than tobacco) which were virtually guaranteed to be far more addictive than cigarettes containing mere tobacco. Also, the addiction is acquired by second hand smoke. Dad owned a 10 chair barber shop where I shined shoes as a kid (non-stop smoking). I was already addicted to cigarettes when I started smoking at 14.

With healthy recommendations like these, why would anyone distrust ads in this modern age?

“Heart healthy” seed oils are the new cigarettes… in 50 years we will look back and laugh at current nutrition advice.

Back in the day when you could pull a cig lighter right outta the dashboard, life was good. Back in the day when you could smoke in the hospital waiting room, or fire one up while on a flight (only after the seatbelt light goes out of course). Life was good!

[@herzbeton]

Back in the day, they didnt have to tell you the literal 1,000+ ingredients in ciggys... people could smoke cow shit rat poison battery acid without knowing... sooo good
