Cigarette ads from the 1920-1950

Cigarette Advertising in 1998

This four-page advertisement for Camel cigarettes was taken from the November 2, 1998 issue of Sports Illustrated magazine.

Much like the cigarette tag, this ad uses cartoon imagery to sell the product. Goldberg's cartoon carried a political message, which is somewhat different from what is found in this cartoon. The ad sends a cultural message valuing wealth, beauty, and, quite blatantly, gluttony.

Something else inseparable from cigarette advertising, the Surgeon General's health warning, is also found in this ad, showing a greater concern for health than was found during the cigarette tag's day. The overall campaign that this ad markets has a similarly collectable aim.

There are more ads in this same campaign, indirectly encouraging the reader to search for others in the series.

First women’s cigarettes came to light in 1924 year in the company Phillip Morris. In earlier times, the very idea of selling cigarettes to women was considered unseemly.

But with the advent in 1920 years suffragette issue equity stood rib-women want to have the same nasty habit as men.

Among women in the fashion thin cigarettes, the so-called women's cigarettes. It is believed that they have aesthetic emphasize sophistication.

The most famous female cigarettes Superslims Vogue and Vogue Superslims Menthol first appeared in the 1987 year. Make Vogue has become the benchmark for women's cigarettes.

Success of the advertised product - cigarettes brands

Many people become irritated when it comes to the huge amount of TV commercials. Nevertheless, usually people would rather buy the products that have been mostly advertised, one commercial being more effective than another.

So, what exactly determines the success of a TV commercial and at the same time the success of the advertised product?

But at a close examination it turns out that the methods the advertisers use are far from being met with approval.

The truth is that when working on a commercial, advertisers extensively use elements of psychoanalysis i.e. they manipulate with the subconsciousness of the viewers, and of course they do not ask the viewers' permission.

A classic example is the cigarette. The advertisers managed to turn the hazardous effect of the cigarettes to their advantage. The new commercials of cigarettes show cheerful and energetic people (do you remember the L&M cigarette commercial and other similar commercials).

It is hardly possible that their energy and cheerfulness are the result of smoking the cigarettes of the given brand. So what is the message the commercial wants to communicate to us? Well, it wants to tell us that the people in the commercial are young and healthy enough to permit themselves to poison their organism!

They are strong, enterprising, sociable - they just do not have time to reflect about the harmful effect of the cigarettes. But if a person leaves the smoking off well that probably would mean that he is out of health. Conclusions: smoke to be young and healthy!

Or more properly - to seem healthy. Excuse me, but openly associating smoking with youth and health in order to restrain the smokers' sense of guilt, well that's a dirty pool.
