Quote:

Every doctor in private practice was asked: What cigarette do you smoke doctor? Not a guess, not just a trend . . .but an actual fact based upon statements of doctors themselves. . . , Doctors smoke for pleasure just like the rest of us. They appreciate, just as you, the mildness that's cool and easy on the throat.

Comments:

This advertisement capitalizes on the variety of doctors surveyed by Camel, by using six images of doctors from different fields. The image of the head-mirrored throat doctor and stethoscope-wielding chest physician seem most appropriate for Camel’s patently false message about the safety of smoking. The largest image, that of a doctor relaxing with a cigarette, shows him as handsome and human in an attempt to make such a knowledgeable endorser likeable and relatable as well.

Keywords:

Doctor, Female, Irritation, Male, Mild, Throat
