Cigarette advertisement targeting weight loss and female nicotine consumption.
Description
Starting in 1929, Lucky Strike started a campaign focused on selling tobacco products to women specifically by targeting weight loss. The particular ad reads "To keep a slender figure no one can deny...reach for a lucky instead of a sweet." The slogan was inspired by Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which promoted vegetable's over sweets.
