"More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette."

Die Stanford School of Medicine präsentiert in einer Ausstellung und Online alte Werbemotive der Zigarettenindustrie.

Our intention is to tell—principally through advertising images—the story of how, between the late 1920s and the early 1950s, tobacco companies used deceptive and often patently false claims in an effort to reassure the public of the safety of their products.

Among the more reprehensible tactics was the utilization of the image of the noble and caring physician to sell cigarettes: Doctors were depicted both as satisfied and enthusiastic partakers of the smoking habit ("More Doctors Smoke Camels").
