Title
Tobacco Advertising and Anti-Smoking materials from the William Van Duyn Collection, Medical Historical Library, Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library
Description
The tobacco industry has been selling smoke in America and other countries for well over a century. From sultry ladies to Santa, tobacco advertisers slickly packaged smoking in a variety of ways to lure consumers to different brands. Using celebrity spokespeople, touting health benefits, sponsoring racing and other sports, product placement, and creating games with prizes are just a small sampling of the ways smoking was sold. This online collection contains materials from the William Van Duyn collection of magazine advertisements, ephemera, articles, and photographs. Anti-smoking materials, also from Van Duyn's collection, are also represented in the collection.
This collection was digitized in conjunction with a physical exhibit, "Selling Smoke: Tobacco Advertising and Anti-smoking Campaigns," on display in the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library, Yale University, from May 15th – August 12th, 2014.
