Did you know that in 1936, the cigarette brand Camel used the slogan "For digestion's sake – smoke Camels"? The ads ran from 1936 to 1939. In 1951, over a decade after the ad campaign ended, the FTC issued a cease-and-desist order prohibiting R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJR) from claiming that Camels aided digestion in any respect.

Haha, I know, right? And sometimes they even said cigarettes would help with coughing and breathing problems.

Well, it doesn't make you any healthier, but it can make you slightly more tolerant to breathing inconsistencies, iirc.

Terminate the smoker I mean. It was a joke on how it kills.
I may have failed it though.

Yeah, Tour de France riders would even smoke while racing, because they believed it would enhance their lung performance. D:

Well I guess it would help the competition. Unless they also smoke.
