Quote:

There are times when it's wise to switch to Spuds for these reasons. Extra Safety- none of the irritating acrolein present in most cigarette smoke. Soothing menthol, evenly blended by a patented process. No menthol overdoes, no sting or bite.

Whenever. I have a cold. Spuds cool menthol seems to clear my stuffy head, cuts through my cold-clogged taste and brings back real smoking pleasure!

Whenever... I want a cooling bracer. Spuds are my pick-me-up when I want a more invigorating smoke. Their mild menthol tonic wakes me up in the morning- helps brace me p and keep me going.

Whenever My throat is dry. When my throat is dry or dull, when other cigarettes taste harsh or flat, I turn to Spuds- to refresh my throat, wake up my taste. Their soothing menthol feels kind to my thorat- invites smoking right from the first puff.

Comments:

This ad employs patriotism and health claims to sell cigarettes. Three female military personnel are featured in this ad. The nurse, in particular, claims that Spuds help cure her cold and “clear my stuffy head.” As a nurse, is seen by consumers as the expert in illness.

Keywords:

Female, Menthol, Military, Throat
