Today's post, inspired by If I Didn't Have a Sense of Humor's recent post on smoking camels, illustrates that retro does not always equal fabulous. Though Don Draper may look sexy smoking on Mad Men, for the majority of Americans, smoking did not look so glamorous and it smelled worse. Remember the car? Let this ad take you back....
As I recall, those smokeless ashtrays weren't really all that smokeless...
Gum anyone?

ReplyDeleteOh crap, like that ashtray would kill CIGAR smoke. There's a HUGE difference between cigar smoke and cigarette smoke!
ReplyDeleteI love how he's not "inconsiderate" - the family wheezing as he says it. Great find, and thanks for the plug!

He totally has a smoker's voice, too. At least he's authentic.
ReplyDeleteDon Draper...yes, he does look so sexy, but I don't recall feeling the same about many others. I hate the smell, and remember it on my schoolbooks and clothes because my parents smoked. Anyhow, cool blog. Come see me at Zootsuitmama
