Exhibition shows old cigarette campaigns in the USA

There are 90 posters published in the USA.
"No cigarette hangover." used to say the Phillip Morris Slogan. During the golden times of the cigarette industries, everything was allowed to convince people to smoke.

The exhibition entitled “Propagandas de Cigarro – Como a Indústria do Fumo Enganou as Pessoas” (Cigarette Advertisements - How the tobacco industry deceived the people) aims to tell through advertising images and slogans, the story of how tobacco companies used to reassure the public of the "safety" of their products (between the late 1920s and the early 1950s).
