Doctors used to advertise cigarettes as good for your throat. π¬ . . . In January 1952, Chesterfield ran a full-page ad in American magazines citing a 6-month medical study that found 'no adverse effects' on smokers' noses, throats, or sinuses. Camel's rival slogan boasted 'More Doctors Smoke Camels.' Physicians appeared in the ads in white coats. The Surgeon General's warning wouldn't arrive until 1966.
