This 1936 ad for Camel cigarettes encourages you to stop and smoke between each course of your Thanksgiving feast. Link to Flickr page (full size). -via Metafilter
Yes! I always smoke 5+ cigarettes at a 4-course meal! Just out of curiosity, having never touched a cigarette in my life, can you actually taste food after smoking? The smell of second-hand smoke alone makes my food taste funky, so I can't imagine eating while smoking.
@meg Yes you can taste food after smoking. As a light smoker for twenty years I can say that we strive to make our food even more flavorful to cover the taste. I love a good smoke after a meal. I like you can't understand how people can eat and smoke at the same time. Those people are heavy smokers and should be avoided at all costs. It's good advice from Camel. Don't overdo it at the table. :p
I'm sure in another 70+ years we'll be looking at Ads for today in the same way. Fastfood ads are probably going to be a big one. "I'm lovin' it? More like I'm lardin' it! Hur-hur!"
Wow. I would hate to have been a visitor at that dinner.
My late grandmother, who smoked 4 packs a day, must have heeded this advise. She was a good cook, but if you took home any leftovers, they would taste like ash. I remember as a kid, when we'd stay the night with her, our lungs would hurt the next day.
Needless to say, she passed away of a smoking-related illness in her 50s.
