More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette, touted one ad in the days before lawsuits and warning labels. During the time when cigarettes and alcohol were advertised as a healthy way of life, liquor, beer, and cigarette companies strove to ensure their products were considered necessities. Through provocative print campaigns they made sure every possible market was reached - homemakers, working men, and college students.
