This card came in a pack of cigarettes in by-gone days. I like the poster/card, but I'm sure I wouldn't have liked the cigarette. I smoked like most of the population did, starting when I entered the service. Why? I suppose because everyone did, in the movies, my contemporaries and more. I continued until around 1977. It was a nasty habit. I don't remember being offered any enticements to buy, except I think maybe a brand named Raleigh offered little certificates in each package that you could redeem for 'valuable' gifts.

http://vintagraph.com/ offers up a different poster every couple of days. It's great for decorating your desktop.
