One of the health-care providers at the Marion County Health Department sent me this link.
It's an online gallery, put together by Stanford School of Medicine, about the history of cigarette ads.
And here's an excerpt as to why they did it: "Our intention is to tell—principally through advertising images—the story of how, between the late 1920s and the early 1950s, tobacco companies used deceptive and often patently false claims in an effort to reassure the public of the safety of their products."
So click here for some amazing - and even funny - posters.
"A great collection of media images….not so great for the millions of people hooked/(decieved) by them," says Manette Cheshareck, Tobacco Prevention Specialist at the health department. |
