🚬 In the 1950s, Pall Mall ran full-page ads in Life magazine claiming its extra-long cigarettes were gentler on your throat.
The logic: more length = more filtering = cooler, milder smoke. Doctors weren't quoted this time — just the cigarette itself, doing the work.
It was one of the most documented "throat protection" campaigns of the decade. Appeared in Life, Look, and Saturday Evening Post throughout the early-to-mid 1950s.
Card 1 — the reconstructed ad.
Card 2 — the decade it actually ran in.
Card 3 — why it's illegal today.
