Apparently, at one point in our history, that was true. <strong>Cigarettes helped you get through the holidays.<\/strong> If you&#8217;re struggling with\u00a0hanging those lights, take a break and have a smoke. Opening presents too stressful? Cool down with a Lucky Strike. Looking for last minute stocking stuffers? How about a carton of Chesterfields?<\/p>\n<p>Today, tobacco advertising is now one of the most highly regulated forms of marketing. Some or all forms of tobacco advertising are banned in many countries. Here are some surprising tobacco advertising facts through history:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first known advertisement in the USA was for the snuff and tobacco products of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njcu.edu\/Programs\/jchistory\/Pages\/L_Pages\/Lorillard_Tobacco.htm\">P. Lorillard and Company <\/a>and was placed in the New York daily paper in 1789.<\/li>\n<li>The first real brand name to become known on a bigger scale in the USA was &#8220;Bull Durham&#8221; which emerged in 1868, with the advertising placing emphasis on how easy it was &#8220;to roll your own.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Modern advertising was created with the innovative techniques used in tobacco advertising beginning in the 1920s. Much of these advertisements sought to make smoking appear fashionable and stylish to men and women.<\/li>\n<li>In 1954, tobacco companies ran the ad &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A_Frank_Statement\">A Frank Statement<\/a>.&#8221; The ad was the first in a campaign to dispute reports that smoking cigarettes could cause lung cancer and had other dangerous health effects.<\/li>\n<li>In the United States, in the 1950s and 1960s, cigarette brands frequently sponsored television shows\u2014most notably <em>To Tell the Truth<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>I&#8217;ve Got a Secret <\/em>and popular TV shows such as\u00a0<em><i>The Flintstones<\/i> <\/em>and<em> <i>The Beverly Hillbillies<\/i>, <\/em>which were watched by many children and teens.<\/li>\n<li>In 1964, after facing much pressure from the public, The Cigarette Advertising Code was created by the Tobacco companies, which prohibited advertising directed to youth.<\/li>\n<li>In 1970, Congress took their anti-smoking initiative one step further and passed the\u00a0<a title=\"Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_Health_Cigarette_Smoking_Act\">Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act<\/a>, banning the advertising of cigarettes on television and radio.<\/li>\n<li>Since 1984, cigarette companies have also been forced to place Surgeon&#8217;s General warnings on all cigarette packs and advertisements.<\/li>\n<li>Today, both Google and Microsoft have policies that outlaw the promotion of tobacco products on their advertising networks.<span style=\"font-size: 11px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Vintage_Holiday_Ads_That_Would_Be_Banned_Today\"><\/span><strong>7 Vintage Holiday Ads That Would Be Banned Today<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Given the restrictions\u00a0levied on tobacco advertising today, it&#8217;s\u00a0hard to imagine\u00a0these ads ever existed:<\/p>\n<h3>Vintage Ad #1: This Christmas give cartons of Luckies.
