After viewing this,I think L.S.M.F.T means "Lotta Strange Mutha F----n' Tobacco"

Lucky Strikes killed my boss two years ago. He was a two pack a day smoker, he smoked the unfiltered ones too.

@Sheri451 sorry

smoking is all about choice

[Sheri451]

@jimbobhk2009 Yes you're right. But the nicotine keeps them hooked and smoking. 

[PaintedSidewalk]

@jimbobhk2009 that right!

@Sheri451 Must have been an UNlucky Strike for you boss. My boss also died of lung cancer and smoked More cigarettes. He was 58.

[Sheri451]

@boblackey1 Yes it was, cancer is a very painful thing to go through. People didn't know back when they made this commercial how bad cigarettes were for you, especially the unfiltered ones like your boss and my boss smoked.

[boblackey1]

@Sheri451 Have you seen the old commercials for Camel cigarettes? They are done by DOCTORS. The latest survey of doctors in every part of medicine shows that more doctors smoke Camel's than any other cigarette! One of my father's uncles smoked and still lived to be 96 so there are exceptions. But he was in bad shape with coughing and shortness of breath the last 20 years of his life. Henry Crawford Lackey 1881-1976 smoked for 80 years but it finally killed him.

@boblackey1 I saw the commercial on YT. My parents told me that my pediatrician smoked in the office when I was small. I think that's what killed him too.

[boblackey1]

@Sheri451 I remember having a doctor when I was a kid who smoked. Did you ever smoke?

[Sheri451]

@boblackey1 No. I have asthma. I've had it all my life, both my parents smoked, but the both quit over twenty years ago. Plus we live in a bad area, the south. You have to have air conditioning in the summer, because it's so hot and humid.

[KingCodimus]

@hilarioph No it's not. You can still buy them at tobacco shops.

This was one of the first filmed commercials specifically produced for TV; Jam Handy, best known as an outfit that produced industrial and "commercial" films, produced this "stop-motion" spot for American Tobacco...and it quickly established American Tobacco as one of the first major advertisers to take early TV seriously enough to spend money to advertise on it...
