I have to warn you, one of these advertisements could be thought of as racist. It’s the way they did things back in the day. Actually, they could be deemed sexist as well. Not all, but most of them.
Back in the day, women did all the shopping so advertisers targeted women.
Asthma cigarettes were actually medicated and were a precursor to the inhaler. Ingredients included stramonium leaves, tea leaves, chestnut leaves, gum benzoin, and kola nuts.
