Cigarette Ads

Even at an early stage of the use of cigarettes people knew that they caused irritation of the throat but they had no idea of the long-term effects. In the first half of the twentieth century cigarette companies used the appeal of so called experts to endorse their products and even went so far as to say that their product was less irritating than their competitors.

(Old Gold), to name a few.
