SMOKING IS GOOD FOR YOU?
I just love vintage smoking ads like this. Good 'ole Chesterfields Tobacco swears that there's nothing unhealthy with THEIR cigarettes. Listen to this guy's carefully crafted words in the beginning. He starts by identifying an unidentified "responsible consulting organization". Apparently, their so responsible... they're anonymous.
He then throws in that the study was conducted by a "competent medical specialist and his staff"... again never identifying anyone by name. Good stuff.
Oh yeah, and there's a Remco "Drive-In Theater" toy commercial thrown in for good measure.

What? Back then, medical science had not yet discovered that humans have lungs?
What about this simple experiment:
Make the poor bastard who smoked 40 a day for an average of 10 years, carry 40 pounds up 2 flights of stairs vs the same age human who didn't smoke.
OLD SCHOOL, BABY!!!
That was SO cool. I WANT THAT DRIVE-IN SET! Only $5.98! Wowie Zowie!
