Adverts From History That Definitely Wouldn’t Be Approved Today

Dr. Camel

Endorsements are a powerful advertisement tool used by companies mainly via celebrities. However, it wasn’t too long ago that cigarette companies used positive testimonies from healthcare professionals to sell tobacco.

Before it was acknowledged just how dangerous cigarettes were for you, Camel sought approval from doctors to help sell their products. Because Camels are much healthier than other brands, apparently. Soon after this advert went live, it became clear how dangerous these were and it was pulled.
