“My dad would never smoke anything but a Marlboro.” – Philip Morris & Co., Ltd.
Doctors endorsed smoking of cigarettes. Santa Claus carried a sack of gifts in one hand and a cigarette in his other hand. So, seeing fathers smoking isn’t really a big deal.
What’s disturbing is how this Marlboro ad used cute babies to promote smoking, and it seems they even know which brand is best. Passive smoking is just as bad as smoking, and since children are more susceptible to the effects of secondhand smoke, adults should be responsible enough not to smoke when there are children around.
According to the ad, the miracle of Marlboro is that you need never feel over-smoked, referring to the effects of smoking too many cigarettes over a short period. Regardless if you smoked too much or not, or if you care about your health or not, these poor babies should not be exposed to secondhand smoke.
