WARNING -- the pictures in this posting are part of the tobacco ads for the Virginia Slims brand of cigarettes -- content may be offensive to anti-smokers...
Now that the disclaimer is out of the way... Years ago I ran accross some Virginia Slims ads in TV Guide. I was lucky enough to find an online archive of tobacco ads that contained the very ads I recalled from the late 1970's / early 1980's.
The ads were part of the Virginia Slims advertising campagn with the theme of "You've come a long way baby... to get where you got to today". Each ad featured a short illustrated vignette describing how women were punished back in "the bad old days" for the unfemenine behaivior of smoking cigarettes.
Submitted for your approval please find links to selected ads from the Virginia Slims campaign... Maybe our colleagues at the Vintage Wetlook site might consider incorporating these pictures.
