davknight comments on Jul 22, 2019:

Cigarettes didn't become popular until World War I, when they were issued with soldier's rations. Prior to that time, they were seen as 'effeminate'.In the 1920's the tobacco companies embarked on mass-advertising campaigns, to boost cigarette sales.They succeeded, at least until the 1970s, when consumers started becoming more health-conscious. I've often wondered why the tobacco industry doesn't just switch over to marijuana? As legalization spreads, it would be the common-sense thing to do! The makers of 'Camels' could adapt a new logo, featuring a very stoned camel smoking a 'blunt'!
