@@palimelodies793 just a quick correction. Trans Atlantic accent was around way before the 40s. It was used to show wealth akin to someone wearing Gucci or Prada and speaking like an intellectual today. It was only thaught in private schools and was only see in the rich neighborhoods. It was after "talkies" that they began speaking with a higher treble bc like u said they lacked the equipment to pick up bass in a voice. Basically it was used as a status symbol. Sure u couldnt guess where the person was from but u knew damn well they lived in the houses with the white picket fences and fancy automobiles
My Uncle smoked 40 Newport menthol cigarettes a day, he died of lung cancer at 32 surrounded by his family. Very sad though his last out breath was refreshingly minty.
Cigarette packs then: "refreshing, mild, clean" Cigarette packs now: "this will turn your body inside out and literally kill you in the worst ways possible"
At least these ads are pleasant to listen to. The ads of today, for the most part, are shocking the viewer with loud noises or jarringly vibrant colors.
Yeah saying similar things too. Like kids drank that stuff really? And the children of the generation will be like whoa I want to try that. Sugary sweetness with caffeine and bubbles in a can or bottle. How cool. They will get dirty looks and parents will say there’s a reason why it’s only for people 18 and over now.
@@agoodkid immunity to deadly preventable diseases, bc of that immunity you can't spread the disease to others around you like your kids. Being immune from the vaccine also means that you can't suffer lasting side effects of those diseases, like brain damage from a disease that makes you cough a whole bunch and you can't breathe so the oxygen levels in your blood drop which can then, often times might I add, lead to brain damage ranging from temporary amnesia to mental regression. Other side effects might be scars on organs (such as the lungs or heart) loss of sight, hearing, tasting, smelling, the entire bowl system could get paralysed or severely damaged to the point where it can barely function. There's also the diseases that can make you paralysed or forever compromise your immune system. There's a lot more and even more that I've either forgotten to mention or don't know about. A lot of kids, especially the infants, are more likely to die within their first 5 years of life. Parents in the olden times had a lot of kids because 1) no contraceptives and 2) those kids would die from diseases we have vaccines for today. That's why infant mortality rate has gone down in modern times. Really buddy, google is your friend. There's more evidence proving people who thing vaccines don't work wrong than evidence supporting your claims. Vaccines work, they're not harmful unless you have a compromised immune system or severe allergies to something they use in the vaccine. Talk to you doctor about it or call whatever place knows most about vaccines and how they work, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help you understand it.
During that time period, I remember my doctor sitting in the clinic at his desk smoking a cigarette while talking to me about his findings after my physical exam. There were actually ashtrays attached to the shelves in the grocery store aisles for shoppers to use. Both of my parents were heavy smokers of Camel straights/no-filter cigarettes. They smoked all the time, everywhere, in the house and in the car, too. Both are now dead, from cancer.

It's scary how catchy it is Imagine hearing this all the time at a young age. I know I wouldn't of been able to keep it out of my head "Newport Menthol Cigarettes😉"
Hey bro don't I hope you're joking lol Many of my friends(all young and lively) have gotten under this curse of smoking, and unable to leave it though deep inside i know they really want to
The idea was to sell menthol cigarettes because they seemed less harsh. I’m old enough that I remember cigarette ads on television and one of those ads was for Salem cigarettes that had the jingle “you can take Salem out of the country, but! you can’t take the country out of Salem”. The surgeon general warning and the evidence that smoking contributed to cancer was starting to pile up. So this was, I think, a way to circumvent people quitting.
Have you seen today's 16 year olds? 6.8, 250 pund of lean muscle, viking beards and voice oozing of testosterone... Im 18 and amazed of how big the new generation is!
They have jingles to stuck in your head, the idea is that when the commercial is over it sticks in your head. Then when you go to buy a pack, Kent cigarettes, for instance, would be in the back of your mind and that would influence your purchase (preferably in favour of Kent cigarettes). What's interesting is no matter how effective a jingle is, it still depends on the person. No matter how catchy the jingle, people have no choice over their tastes in music, so they may detest the jingle and therefore the cigarette brand. It's truly interesting, the golden age of advertising.
I used to smoke 1.5-2 packs of cigarettes a day absolutely loved it. I even got to the point I was growing about five different strains of tobacco and curing it myself. I quit about five years ago and I am so glad I did. If you are going to stop smoking, I wish you the best of luck hang in there you'll get there.
You can’t beat the sound of people talking in old movies or commercials... idk what it is or why they sound different then today’s people but I love it
sawyer mounce Beats me. It wasn’t how people talked in the real world, but that “Trans Atlantic” accent was taught bc they thought it sounded appealing. As the years went on, people wanted more of a realistic real world representation in movies and tv so that’s why that accent is now gone.
"Let's start a cigarette brand!" "Okay, great! But what shall we name it?" "I don't know, let's throw some darts at a map of Great Britain and see what we get!"
Here’s an ad…. A elderly man on oxygen in a hospital bed surrounded by loved ones…. He says, I don’t regret one pull from great tasting Newports as he takes his last breath and flat lines and then the family and doctors take a good deep pull off their smokes and let off a good chuckle. Newport….”great lasting taste, right until your last breath”.
@@bikelifepov9617 FUCK that response time tho but yea I'm legit a 14 y o stoner but it's not as bad as the "position it's been put in by government wrong-doings and it has medicinal effects like relaxation, improved mood, many physical health benefits as well, but I'm not gonna name them all, just use it in moderation every other day at most and nothing bad related to health will ever come to be, plus there are many methods of consumtion.
the way they show cigarettes reminds me of how today's ads show gum: easy to open, grab a one for you and your friend, refreshing like being on a beach...
I was actually upset about something personal a few minutes ago, but watching this all the way through was... Oddly comforting. Not even joking. It's surreal.
Because doctors back then didnt have enough evidence showing that cigarettes are bad for health. When the lung cancer death rate increased over time, they researched more about it and found out eventually. Cigarettes, at one point were even approved by physicians as harmless which sounds very wrong.
@@JPX64Channel N wtf kinda dumb is this? Weed doesn't cause cancer, go educate yourself mate... Unlike tobacco back then, years of research has now been put into weed and governments are legalising it because it has been proven to not be harmful.
@@I_Crit_My_Pants the smoke from weed isn't good for your lungs, you're deluded if you ever believe any kind of smoke isn't terribly harmful to your body
A lot of the themes for cigarette commercials were sung by a popular music group called the Chordettes. More commonly known for their hit song "Mr sandman".
I can’t believe they would advertise this filthy disgusting habit on tv back then! That reminds me, I’m down to my last two packs. Time to head to the convenience store.
Its 2:57am I just zoned out and came back to reality after almost falling asleep ps I'm sleeping after this video is done but when I snap back in reality I read your comments like it was in from of so I find that funny
What I learned from this video: York has imperial sized cigarettes Kent has a filter Newport has a minty taste What exactly do I do with this information
Keltic Warrior88 Go get yourself a pack of Newport’s of course!! They go great with the fresh winter air and I highly recommend them. They’re the second most popular smoke in the USA after Marlboro!!
1960: Colourful Cigarette packets with attractive packaging, advertising, logos, reputation, etc. 2020 : Black and white packets with severe health warnings and photos of dead bodies, with zero advertising allowed.
I think commercials in general that has the word cigarette or cigars are gonna encourage kids to smoke more so truth and real cost are actually encouraging it by mentioning it so there actually doing less
Best way out of all my methods of stopping smoking was using nicotine patches. Try it dude! Smokers crave on nicotine, not on tobacco & tobacco is the thing that causes cancer, not nicotine.
I remember seeing ashtrays in doctors offices and hospital waiting rooms in the late 1960's. Now you can even smoke within 50 yards of a hospital even if it is on a busy street. I guess that the exhaust fumes of cars and trucks must become healthier over the last fifty years.
its so amazing how they put the words kent , taste , best together and repeat it 100 times so it would be printed in your brain. it's truly fascinating in terms of marketing
@cat attack Been smoking since I was 14/15 I'm almost 18 now and I've tried nicotine gum.. didn't work. Tried vaping it worked but I can't always afford pods so I go back to smoking. The only thing that actually helped me because it was affordable was juul but those are basically extinct now, cig companies probably did it they don't want people to quit.
@gat I use to smoke cigs but I’ve successfully switched to vaping the juice lasts me 2-3 weeks per bottle and it’s $17 a bottle where I live and coils are cheap too. Now I just need to quit vaping and I’ll be good lol
My father always had a carton on top of the fridge and anther in his truck. He never complained when the carton on top of the fridge was missing a few packs. I’ve quit twice since then, but always started back up. Been nearly 30 years now.
@@calvantisclean1571 I'm sure they thought the same way about cigarettes.. sure it can make you fat, but if you eat in moderation - you'll be just fine.. not all sugar is bad.. as long as you're exercising.. red-bull is good for sports.. etc etc etc.
Even though I am a smoker, I’m just watching this with my jaw wide-open, no matter how many different ways they try to say it, there’s just nothing glamorous about giving yourself cancer or emphysema! Even though tobacco is heavily regulated here in Toronto and in Canada, it’s still just as dangerous as it was back then, but I just can’t get over the way they advertised it, it’s like they’re talking about candy! Being in my 50s, I remember a lot of these commercials when I was a little boy, I also remember that nearly every single person smoked, because it was as socially acceptable just having a drink. It just boggles my mind that they were able to get away with false advertising, misleading advertising, as they peddled their deadly product to the masses, knowing full well that it was responsible for cancer, emphysema, liver and kidney damage, to name just a few. I had my first cigarette when I was eight years old, my dad was a heavy smoker at the time, and I’ll never forget that day. We were on our way to the cottage, and my parents had to run into Kmart to pick up a few items they forgot, and my father left his cigarette burning in the ashtray in the car, so naturally, I picked it up and took a puff, just then, my father showed up seconds after he left the car, because he forgot his wallet in the glove box. That was over 40 years ago and I can still remember him yelling and screaming, telling me that if he ever caught me doing that again he would make me smoke the entire pack until I turned green! Parents were so hypocritical back then, telling us how horrible it is, while at the same time smoking constantly in front of us. I remember my dad used to smoke in the car with the windows rolled up in the air conditioning on. He had just bought a brand new Chevy Malibu, and the tobacco smoke combined with that plastic new car smell made me so sick I threw up the entire way to the cottage, and even after I begged him to stop smoking in the car, I just got an earful, telling me it was my own fault because I ate bag bag of chips. He refused to acknowledge it was his tobacco smoke that was making me sick, and my father smoked over two packs a day, I used to go to the Becker’s (anybody remember those stores? I think they were a precursor to 7-Eleven‘s) to buy his cigarettes, because I was always allowed to keep the change. I remember specifically they were $1.25 a pack, I’m back then we had two dollar bills, leaving me with 75 cents. For those that don’t know, but then you could buy a lot of stuff for 75 cents. I remember that a can of pop was five cents, a chocolate bar or a bag of chips we’re only 10 cents.... so I could buy end of junk food for days, and my father would smoke both packs that I bought him in one day, so I need list to say I was a fat kid! It was such a different world back then, a world where nobody considered the ramifications of their actions especially when it came to smoking, or eating junk food. I remember standing on the subway platform, and people smoking waiting for the train to show up, and the tracks completely covered with cigarette butts. You could smoke pretty much anywhere, except inside any public transit vehicle, you could even smoke in the hospitals back then. It’s no wonder that people died before 70! My grandfather died of a massive stroke at the age of 68, it was his third stroke in less than two months, he used to smoke export A’s. Any Canadians remember those? They had no filter, and my grandfather would buy a tin of tobacco, and roll his own cigarettes using a little machine that he had, I used to help him. It’s amazing how much times have changed, and what’s deemed socially acceptable and non-acceptable. I started smoking full-time when I was in grade 9, because my high school had a huge park behind it, so I would either steal my dad‘s cigarettes, or by rolling paper, and smoke whatever I can find in the park, including dried up leaves, grass, tree bark, you name it I smoked it, and got really really sick for being so stupid and ignorant, but because I lived with two smokers (mom smoked too, but not as much as dad) I just kept on smoking like an idiot, trying to look cool in front of my friends, and it worked. Peer pressure was a huge part of smoking back then, if you were part of the in crowd, then you smoked! Unfortunately like everyone else I got addicted to them, and while I have tried quitting more times than I can remember, I still smoke to this day. Problem is, I really enjoy smoking, I suffer from extreme anxiety and depression, and have more health issues than you would believe, because of those health problems I can no longer drink alcohol, I’m allergic to marijuana, and I absolutely refuse, and I always have, to take street drugs, so cigarettes are my fix, my addiction, and while I am fully aware of the implications, after spending the last three decades of my life having 37 surgeries because of Crohn’s disease, intestinal cancer, +9 other chronic illnesses that I developed as side effects from the first two, cigarettes or a coping mechanism, and no matter how many times I have tried to quit, it just doesn’t work because I enjoy smoking far too much. I get my cigarettes extremely cheap as I have a few connections where I can buy three cartons of cigarettes for less than $95, and I smoked three cartons a month (I think there are 200 cigarettes in each carton). I reached a point in my life after going through so much hell, but I just said screw it, my health is already a disaster, because of all the genetic illnesses, (I am from the shallow end of the gene pool), are use tobacco to come myself down, and it does work. The only positive thing I can say it’s all go for periods that last for several days, when I’m just too sick to smoke, but then I pick it right back up again. I think I am my own worst enemy, thank God both my parents right now in their late 80s are still alive, my father is officially the oldest man to move that long in his entire family thanks to modern medicine, but the smoking took it’s toll and then some. He’s had a quadruple bypass, almost every artery in his body was almost 100% clogged with plaque, if it wasn’t for his pacemaker, he would not be here, but I think God every day is is still around, Yep that’s still isn’t enough to get me to stop smoking, crazy isn’t it? But quite frankly, after all the hell that I have been through, at this point I really don’t care if I live or die, but I promise myself one thing, my dying words aren’t going to be “ God I wish I had a cigarette”! It’s just nice to know that this generation and all generations after it have a very low number of smokers at least here in Canada, and it is a very heavily regulated industry, so it brings me some peace and comfort knowing I’ll probably be the last generation that will most likely die of a smoking related illness, but now we have alcoholism, and drug abuse on the rise, to the point where we are losing at least a dozen homeless people every single day in the downtown core alone. Unfortunately addiction is a reoccurring theme in almost every culture on earth, I pray for the day when that is no longer the case.
Wow I read all of that, I hope stuff gets better for you. I am a current smoker at 17 it's tough it really is. Yeah I feel like their will always be something we're addicted to it's rough when we live in a world filled with craziness. At the end of the day just focus on you. Peace bro.

Cigarettes “refresh” “fresher” “clean” LMAO, MY ASS
The idea was to sell menthol cigarettes because they seemed less harsh. I’m old enough that I remember cigarette ads on television and one of those ads was for Salem cigarettes that had the jingle “you can take Salem out of the country, but! you can’t take the country out of Salem”. The surgeon general warning and the evidence that smoking contributed to cancer was starting to pile up. So this was, I think, a way to circumvent people quitting.
I should add it’s just wonderful how people left cigarette butts all over the place even in these commercials taunting clean and refreshing.
well menthols do tend to refresh
Cigarettes refresh your ass? Huh. You're a strange potato.
You mean to tell me that you don't smoke through your ass? Man was I doing it wrong....

Treat your taste kindlyyyy with Kent smoke kent
They have jingles to stuck in your head, the idea is that when the commercial is over it sticks in your head. Then when you go to buy a pack, Kent cigarettes, for instance, would be in the back of your mind and that would influence your purchase (preferably in favour of Kent cigarettes). What's interesting is no matter how effective a jingle is, it still depends on the person. No matter how catchy the jingle, people have no choice over their tastes in music, so they may detest the jingle and therefore the cigarette brand. It's truly interesting, the golden age of advertising.
I used to smoke 1.5-2 packs of cigarettes a day absolutely loved it. I even got to the point I was growing about five different strains of tobacco and curing it myself. I quit about five years ago and I am so glad I did. If you are going to stop smoking, I wish you the best of luck hang in there you'll get there.

He says, I don’t regret one pull from great tasting Newports as he takes his last breath and flat lines and then the family and doctors take a good deep pull off their smokes and let off a good chuckle.

Even though I am a smoker, I’m just watching this with my jaw wide-open, no matter how many different ways they try to say it, there’s just nothing glamorous about giving yourself cancer or emphysema! Even though tobacco is heavily regulated here in Toronto and in Canada, it’s still just as dangerous as it was back then, but I just can’t get over the way they advertised it, it’s like they’re talking about candy! Being in my 50s, I remember a lot of these commercials when I was a little boy, I also remember that nearly every single person smoked, because it was as socially acceptable just having a drink. It just boggles my mind that they were able to get away with false advertising, misleading advertising, as they peddled their deadly product to the masses, knowing full well that it was responsible for cancer, emphysema, liver and kidney damage, to name just a few. I had my first cigarette when I was eight years old, my dad was a heavy smoker at the time, and I’ll never forget that day. We were on our way to the cottage, and my parents had to run into Kmart to pick up a few items they forgot, and my father left his cigarette burning in the ashtray in the car, so naturally, I picked it up and took a puff, just then, my father showed up seconds after he left the car, because he forgot his wallet in the glove box. That was over 40 years ago and I can still remember him yelling and screaming, telling me that if he ever caught me doing that again he would make me smoke the entire pack until I turned green! Parents were so hypocritical back then, telling us how horrible it is, while at the same time smoking constantly in front of us. I remember my dad used to smoke in the car with the windows rolled up in the air conditioning on. He had just bought a brand new Chevy Malibu, and the tobacco smoke combined with that plastic new car smell made me so sick I threw up the entire way to the cottage, and even after I begged him to stop smoking in the car, I just got an earful, telling me it was my own fault because I ate bag bag of chips. He refused to acknowledge it was his tobacco smoke that was making me sick, and my father smoked over two packs a day, I used to go to the Becker’s (anybody remember those stores? I think they were a precursor to 7-Eleven‘s) to buy his cigarettes, because I was always allowed to keep the change. I remember specifically they were $1.25 a pack, I’m back then we had two dollar bills, leaving me with 75 cents. For those that don’t know, but then you could buy a lot of stuff for 75 cents. I remember that a can of pop was five cents, a chocolate bar or a bag of chips we’re only 10 cents.... so I could buy end of junk food for days, and my father would smoke both packs that I bought him in one day, so I need list to say I was a fat kid! It was such a different world back then, a world where nobody considered the ramifications of their actions especially when it came to smoking, or eating junk food. I remember standing on the subway platform, and people smoking waiting for the train to show up, and the tracks completely covered with cigarette butts. You could smoke pretty much anywhere, except inside any public transit vehicle, you could even smoke in the hospitals back then. It’s no wonder that people died before 70! My grandfather died of a massive stroke at the age of 68, it was his third stroke in less than two months, he used to smoke export A’s. Any Canadians remember those? They had no filter, and my grandfather would buy a tin of tobacco, and roll his own cigarettes using a little machine that he had, I used to help him. It’s amazing how much times have changed, and what’s deemed socially acceptable and non-acceptable. I started smoking full-time when I was in grade 9, because my high school had a huge park behind it, so I would either steal my dad‘s cigarettes, or by rolling paper, and smoke whatever I can find in the park, including dried up leaves, grass, tree bark, you name it I smoked it, and got really really sick for being so stupid and ignorant, but because I lived with two smokers (mom smoked too, but not as much as dad) I just kept on smoking like an idiot, trying to look cool in front of my friends, and it worked. Peer pressure was a huge part of smoking back then, if you were part of the in crowd, then you smoked! Unfortunately like everyone else I got addicted to them, and while I have tried quitting more times than I can remember, I still smoke to this day. Problem is, I really enjoy smoking, I suffer from extreme anxiety and depression, and have more health issues than you would believe, because of those health problems I can no longer drink alcohol, I’m allergic to marijuana, and I absolutely refuse, and I always have, to take street drugs, so cigarettes are my fix, my addiction, and while I am fully aware of the implications, after spending the last three decades of my life having 37 surgeries because of Crohn’s disease, intestinal cancer, +9 other chronic illnesses that I developed as side effects from the first two, cigarettes or a coping mechanism, and no matter how many times I have tried to quit, it just doesn’t work because I enjoy smoking far too much. I get my cigarettes extremely cheap as I have a few connections where I can buy three cartons of cigarettes for less than $95, and I smoked three cartons a month (I think there are 200 cigarettes in each carton). I reached a point in my life after going through so much hell, but I just said screw it, my health is already a disaster, because of all the genetic illnesses, (I am from the shallow end of the gene pool), are use tobacco to come myself down, and it does work. The only positive thing I can say it’s all go for periods that last for several days, when I’m just too sick to smoke, but then I pick it right back up again. I think I am my own worst enemy, thank God both my parents right now in their late 80s are still alive, my father is officially the oldest man to move that long in his entire family thanks to modern medicine, but the smoking took it’s toll and then some. He’s had a quadruple bypass, almost every artery in his body was almost 100% clogged with plaque, if it wasn’t for his pacemaker, he would not be here, but I think God every day is is still around, Yep that’s still isn’t enough to get me to stop smoking, crazy isn’t it? But quite frankly, after all the hell that I have been through, at this point I really don’t care if I live or die, but I promise myself one thing, my dying words aren’t going to be “ God I wish I had a cigarette”! It’s just nice to know that this generation and all generations after it have a very low number of smokers at least here in Canada, and it is a very heavily regulated industry, so it brings me some peace and comfort knowing I’ll probably be the last generation that will most likely die of a smoking related illness, but now we have alcoholism, and drug abuse on the rise, to the point where we are losing at least a dozen homeless people every single day in the downtown core alone. Unfortunately addiction is a reoccurring theme in almost every culture on earth, I pray for the day when that is no longer the case.
Wow I read all of that, I hope stuff gets better for you. I am a current smoker at 17 it's tough it really is. Yeah I feel like their will always be something we're addicted to it's rough when we live in a world filled with craziness. At the end of the day just focus on you. Peace bro.

I worked at a gas station and that’s how I memorized which cigs were Newport’s because I wasn’t to familiar at first with all of them since I was new and don’t smoke cigs
Maggie12MD didn’t see that
McLaren
Or maybe Nike’s is Newport’s upside down
Lungs: that’s a lot of damage
Cigarette: How about a little more
