Comments:

According to the ad copy, your “T-Zone” was working overtime during the war and the doctor prescribes it for you nowThis ad latches on to patriotism by describing World War II and its resulting shortage on cigarettes as the time when many Americans discovered Camels were their favorites. The ad urges smokers to ditch their usual brand and try Camels, as some were forced to do during the shortage. The ad combines the “Experience is the Best Teacher” campaign with the “More Doctors Smoke Camels” campaign.
