Throat Doctors
Published:

Brand:
Chesterfield
Manufacturer:
Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company
Format:
Advertisement
Tobacco Type:
Cigarette
Quote:

Nose, throat and accessory organs not adversely affected by smoking Chesterfields. First such report ever published about any cigarette. A responsible consulting organization has reported the results of a continuing study by a competent medical specialist and his staff on the effects of smoking Chesterfield cigarettes.

Comments:

This advertisement for Chesterfield is a direct rebuttal of the public’s health concerns of the time, claiming that a “competent medical specialist” found no adverse effects on the “nose, throat, and accessory organs” due to smoking Chesterfields. This claim is reminiscent of Camel’s “Not One Single Case of Throat Irritation” campaign from just a few years prior. Like the claim made by Camel, this claim is equally spurious.

Keywords:

Doctor, Female, Irritation, Male, Mild, Throat
