The Kent cigarette with the micronite filter in the 1950s was probably the most lethal.  The micronite filter was made of asbestos.  Smokers who are also exposed to asbestos have a risk of developing lung cancer greater than the individual risks from asbestos and smoking added together.

the pilot episode of the AMC show MAD MEN deals w/ reengineering Lucky Strike's ads after the FTC said they couldn't tout health benefits any longer.

I love Mad Men.

Not sure if this is a real commercial but it's sort of sad to watch since George Harrison died of lung cancer.


The Marlboro commercials and ads were the best though.
