Cigarette manufacturers bragged about how they donated cigarettes to the soldiers in WWII. How many thousands got "hooked" on the nicotine? How many survived the war, only to die of lung cancer? There are dozens of ads similar to this from tobacco companies.

They were sure tough on women back then! From inferring our uselessness to middle-age skin and dishpan hands, holy smoke! That could really make you feel bad about yourself. No wonder the rebellion and burning of the bra!
