Not long ago my mother was telling me about when my grandmother was younger. She went to her doctor because she was a little stressed out and was prescribed to take up smoking cigarettes of all things! She tried it for a bit, but never really enjoyed it so she quit not long after she started.

This seemed really weird to me so over the weekend I thought that I would go online and dig up some of the old cigarette ads to see just how low some of the agencies would go. These are just a few of the weird and disturbing examples that I found.
