In researching for my latest Collectors' Quest posting, I found a few vintage cigarette ads -- more than would fit in the piece, so here are my favorites, showing the great health benefits of smoking:

We learn that smoking is great for Opera Singers! (If they smoke Camels, of course.) Rise Stevens tells us so because she took the 30 day trial & they are mild.



Smoking makes better mothers! (As long as she's smoking Marlboro's.)



But now, what if you are both a mom and an opera singer??
