Kitsch Commercials - Hallucinogenic Cigarettes #3

This odd little trio of commercials comes to us from Newport Menthol Cigarettes. Apparently not only will cigarettes rot your lungs and give you all sorts of nasty cancers, they'll also make you go positively batty. Menthol? Who are they kidding? There's something in them thar' cigarettes, and it ain't no menthol.

This ad first appeared in early 1966.

I don't know which is more strange. The billboard that , well -- does that. The man that casually and readily responds appropriatly to the billboard . The slick dick on the beach with the girl wearing a bathing suit --- and he's fully dressed even with street shoes. There is something awfully screwy about this whole sceane.

'Nuff said........

Have you uncovered Doris Day's secret past as a jingle signer for cancer-sticks?

(And thank you so much for getting that tune stuck in my head. No, really.)
