    Imagine what these guys would have accomplished with healthy lungs-----maybe even make the HOF?

  • It was the law back then. You had to smoke or else!

    Back then smoking was actually good for you!

    Reminds me of an old krispy Kreme poster I saw at a local kk, it said "healthy and nutritious!"

    Just like how sportscards are for kids

    funny how things change

    Won't be long before this is legalized in most states. >>



    Young people today are brainwashed.
  • The Babe Ruth advert is just dripping with irony.
    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the PSA 10 collector he didn't exist.

    I believe the brainwashing occurred long ago (1920's-1930's) in regards to this matter and has continued until recently.
  • There was a neat scientific study in regards to obesity in the United States and one of the factors they listed was because *we* quit smoking.

    I really do love these old ads. It was only like 3 or 4 years ago where they told Leyland he can no longer smoke in the clubhouse.
  • Thanks for sharing. Its amazing to me the change in social acceptablity smoking has taken.

  • Were these players smokers or just endorsers? I mean like Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Jackie Robinson, etc?

    Its really strange seeing all these athletes endorse smoking. It was never personified as something to do with sports, but more as a cool, causal look of the 50's and 60's.

    As far as weed becoming legal? I think its gonna be longer than you think. Just because some states are becoming "tolerant" or "lenient" or even "legal", each step has its backlash that the FBI cracks down on it. And I would not be surprised that big tobacco companies are not pulling any strings on the matter until they can get a position in the market and sell it "responsibly". (i.e. cut with as many cancer causing chemicals as they do tobacco).
  • Call me a sheep, but I'm totally craving a cigarette right now. Seriously

    More so "big alcohol"...As weed becomes more and more acceptable and common, alcohol sales and consumption will suffer tremendously. They are putting tons of money into anti-marijuana campaigns

  • Don't forget "Big Pharma". Lots of money there to stop natural pain killers from being legal!

    Not smoking related but this made me think of the old OJ Dingo adds for Dingo boots. Anyone remember those?


    Thanks,
