Not a Cough in a Carload: Images From the Tobacco Industry Campaign to Hide the Hazards of Smoking
URL: http://lane.stanford.edu/tobacco/index.html

Description:
This intention of this exhibit "is to tell ... the story of how, between the late 1920s and the early 1950s, tobacco companies used deceptive and often patently false claims in an effort to reassure the public of the safety of their products." View dozens of advertising images by brand or by theme (such as doctors smoking, brides smoking, inhaling, digestion, and calming nerves), and read slogans. From the Lane Library, Stanford School of Medicine.
