Down To A T

The world's most politically incorrect advertisement even by the standards of The Products You're Not Allowed To Advertise Any More File:

1. It advertises cigarettes
2. It used sports stars to advertise cigarettes
3. It uses doctors to advertise cigarettes

How do you smoke a camel? One puff at a time. (1948 Saturday Evening Post) Click for more UnPC goodness.Imagine that: Doctors endorsing a brand of cigarettes.

It's as unbelievable as the look on some child's face today as they wonder why people would want to smoke a camel. Or how on earth they could smoke a camel.

Does that apply to just the Camelus dromedarius or the Camelus bactrianus as well?

According to a Nationwide survey:
More doctors Smoke Camels
than any other cigarette
When 113,597 doctors from coast to coast - in every field of medicine - were asked by three independent research organizations to name the cigarette they smoked, more doctors named Camel than any other brand!
Just remember that when you next read about doctors telling you that something else is bad for you.

From the February 21 1948 edition of Saturday Evening Post.
