I asked my doctor what brand of cigarette he recommended, and he told me I should quit because smoking's unhealthy. Now I'm wondering if he's even a real doctor.
Cleary he's not a real Dr. as GP's, surgeons, diagnosticians, radiologists, orthopedists, etc all recommend Camels, maybe he wasn't part of that survey.
My sister worked at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit in the late 70's as a pharmacist and was stunned by the number of doctors there who smoked regularly.
The thing about this is that the FDA knew about the dangers of cigarettes but still continued to sell it to consumers. The system doesn't care about the public's health and still don't till this day.
My mother quit smoking 17 years before she was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. I'm grateful she quit when she did or she would have had less years.
@@PaperBanjo64Proctologists said it was perfectly okay to smoke as long as you didn’t smoke by putting the Camel cigarette 🚬 between your butt cheeks 😊
They never "recommend " this. "doctors recommend cigarettes" was only phrase from famous SNL skit. Using fake surveys and actors playing doctors is still not banned in todays ads
Done found out that vaping was bad after it got trendy, about a year after, I find it hypocritical that they now say weed is ok but tobacco smoking is so bad, my brother in law used to smoke weed, he quit when he met my sister, but he still has a smokers cough from it, don't tell me weed is less harsh on the lungs because my brother in law still coughs even though he doesn't smoke anymore, heck most regular cigarette smokers don't cough anymore after they quit a while.
It was 1947, and I was working as a "soda jerk" in a corner drug store. One of our customers, a doctor, told how he was given a carton of Camels, then asked "What brand do you smoke, Doctor?"
Yes, that's how R.J. Reynolds conducted their paid surveys in the late 1940's- either they sent doctors free samples of Camels- or they gave a carton to them in person- and officially asked them, *"What cigarette {brand} do YOU smoke, Doctor?".* "The brand named most was *CAMELS."*
I'm a pulmonologist & have been smoking for over 30 years. My lungs feel great & I can even run a marathon. My theory is simple: smoke more & eat less & you'll live longer & feel better.
I looked up to see if their was a survey of doctors and nurses smoking . The answer was 8% of doctors admitted they smoked and 15 % of nurses admitted. So the number that did not admit it is probably higher. This was is in 2019 . Fun fact : the Surgeon General is not a surgeon and not a General . Merry Christmas.
My mom had given birth to me, told the Doctor after 2 months she was needing loose that extra baby weight. He suggested she start smoking unfiltered cigarettes, they would quickly curb her appetite.
This commercial was made when public concerns were first starting to be raised about smoking. Even though the Surgeon General's report on smoking was still more than 10 years in the future, throughout the 1950s cigarette companies began to fight back. That's when filter cigarettes were invented and heavily advertised, even while "health claims" were also being disparaged in other ads.
30 effing years it took to get to the truth. ThEy knew it caused cancer and COPD, EMPHYSEMA, they were even giving free cigarettes away to poor african villagers in the late 70s. To get them hooked and working in the mines to earn the money to buy the cigarettes. History repeats with the vax today. Evil
It's crazy seeing this these days. It's so irresponsible for a doctor to drink coffee at that time of night.....thank fuck he had a a Camel to calm his nerve, they're so smooth and mild.
I really enjoy smoking cigarettes, but the dishonesty from the tobacco industry was disgusting. Had the tobacco industry not lied about the health effects, which they fully well knew about, smoking would not have been demonized in my opinion.
You don't enjoy smoking, you have no choice. Its like a prisoner saying, he likes being in jail, after he get used to it. Its an addiction, just like any hard drug.
Patient: Doctor, what is my problem? Doctor: You have lung cancer. Are you still smoking a pack a day? Patient: Yes Doctor: There's a problem. You're not smoking enough. Up it to 3 packs a day.
This just proves how truly unscrupulous cigarette companies were back then. They knew damn well how bad smoking was for you. I can't believe I gave big tobacco so much money for 25 years.
SDA's have known the dangers of smoking for well over a century. "Tobacco is a slow insidious, most malignant poison" (Ministry of Healing [1905], p. 327).
Yeah they knew how bad it was. Ask any person on the street and they'd tell you what "smoker's cough" was. They also knew pipe smokers got mouth cancer.
@@EzioAuditoreDaFirenze99 I think the concerns about smoking, health-wise, are almost as old as smoking itself. The word "cancer stick" dates back to the 1890s. Tobacco tar was proven to be carcinogenous in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Hitler was very much against smoking. I have a book my Grandma was given to learn from in trade school, it was printed in 1946 and while it didn't say anything about cancer, it said that tobacco products are not suitable for juvenile people and those with heart and stomach ailments. I think people knew more than they were willing to acknowledge. It's a bit as with global warming today, we all know the truth but some use denialism or escapism as coping methods. Cigarette companies did a lot of propaganda to convince people that their, and only their products, not those of other companies, were safe to consume because they were made with better quality tobaccos, were "toasted" or otherwise treated. Everything was proprietary, of course. The truth is that tobacco did, indeed undergo treatment to make it less irritating like spraying it with liquorice, menthol, urea and other things. They challenged people to try their cigarettes for 30 days and check for irritations and, indeed, often there were none during that trial period. Things are different in the long run, of course. I don't think the tobacco industry should be let completely off the hook, but currently we have Big Alcohol trying to make people believe booze can be part of a healthy lifestyle as long as you don't drink to excess. They know very well that they would be broke if each and every person who drinks stayed within the limits of what is believed to be tolerable.
@@DellaStreet123 And then there's the fact we're basically using our population as guinea pigs for pharmaceuticals. Don't get me wrong, we need medications, but over-prescription for minor ailments using chemicals with no long-term studies is concerning to me. And then there's food preservatives, colors and flavorings. You know, 85% of cancers are environmental and the majority of them are due to diet.
@@EzioAuditoreDaFirenze99 I also think it will take a few decades until we know the whole truth about wood ovens. They are currently promoted as a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuel, but I wonder if the fumes from wood fires aren't cancerogenic, too. Environmental exposure to wood dust is on the list of the WHO's list of carinogens, and I don't think wood smoke can be much of an improvement. Perhaps the middle class wood oven is just the equivalent of the poor man's tobacco (or weed) smoke.
I feel so good after this commercial I don't think I'll have just 1 camel no I'll have 2 at the same time. Double the flavor double the relaxation. Camel, cigarettes best flavor around.
Coal is an indispensable resource and it always will be. Used worldwide for the production of power your standard-of-living would have never reached its current heights without it.
This ad was first seen around 1950, often shown on "CAMEL NEWS CARAVAN", [with John Cameron Swayze] on NBC, and "MAN AGAINST CRIME" (starring Ralph Bellamy) on CBS.
Doctors have never encouraged to smoke, it's known to be harmful since the 19th cent. General practitioners until the 50s used to consider cigarettes a bad habit that in moderation was as bad as moderate alcohol consumption, and useful to relief stress from everyday life.
Would you walk a mile for a camel? Would you walk a camel for a mile? Did you know that in a recent nationwide survey, That nine out of ten men who had tried camels, Actually perfered sheep???????
About the only way smoking will harm a person is if he smokes in bed or gets run over by a tobacco truck. I started "smoking" candy cigarettes with I was around 5. I don't recommend giving ANYONE real cigarettes that young-- might set the house on fire. 13 is the ideal age. By the way, a Zippo lighter makes a great bar mitzvah gift. Even President knows smoking isn't harmful. Michele just doesn't like the smell of smoke & makes him light up outside. A great product that's been unfairly bullied.
Smoking in bed is not automatically harmful. Only if your house catches on fire. The chances of you getting struck by lightning are 3.5 times greater. Cheers, mate.
Does tobacco actually contain gluten, to begin with? (Lest we forget, this same brand--Camel--had a campaign a few years earlier ["It's Fun to be Fooled"] revealing the secrets of famous circus, magic and sideshow acts that audiences were usually unaware of, the better to get back at Lucky Strikes' "It's Toasted" slogan reinforced by the strapline "No Tricks--Just Costlier Tobaccos.")
This shows the lunacy of the so called proffesionals called doctors that are to give advice to stop smoking & yet they are smoking the death sticks themselves what hypocrites they are....
I enjoy this propaganda compared to the anti-smoking ones nowadays. (Not a smoker btw, but someone who hates the fact that smokers are constantly bullied for making their own decisions)
