Comments:
This ad features a young doctor with a beautiful and adoring wife looking on as he affixes his “shingle” to what looks to be a tony Park Avenue address, signifying the opening of his very own private practice. Having a young doctor smoke Camels would help to reassure youthful smokers that it must not be quite so bad for their health after all. Capturing young smokers has always been a primary focus of tobacco advertising. His medical school tuition, “a minimum of $15,000,” might cover the first trimester of the first year of medical school today.
