Lucky Strike Cigarette Ad (1953)
From 1948, this stop-motion animation ad shows Lucky Strike Cigarettes marching military-style. LS/MFT = Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco
Video Rating: 4 / 5

Exactly. What you’re saying is that it’s not necessarily chemically addictive, but addictive nonetheless. It has addictive qualities. I know people who are well and truly addicted. You can’t say it’s not addictive.
@jamesisapain pot isn’t chemically addictive (THC doesn’t affect the brain in the same manner as nicotine) or so my basic anatomy and AP bio textbooks say. However it can be psychologically addictive, as in it’s enjoyable so you want more. Much like how i happen to enjoy eating cake (not a lie) therefore i eat more cake because it’s enjoyable and the benefits (personal satisfaction) outweigh the costs (unhealthy) to a point, marijuana is the same way
@hockeyplaya131
Pot is most definitely addictive.
@Fragem420
Hope you burn in hell, sex isn’t a drug.
As Paul Newman said in “Slapshot”: “Don’t ever play “Lady Of Spain” again!!!”
@qtpieresse They did, they simply didn’t tell anyone.
LS/MFT Lucky Strike Means Future Tumors
@hockeyplaya131 anything can be addictive, bro.
Cigarette ads were funny.
@Fragem420 Good point, except pot isn’t addictive.
大好きです。
like i commented on the pall mall commercial, this is just weird
It looks like tread on a tire.
wow, back in the day when they called tv, TELEVISION—then the radio guy chimes in pack after pack? puff after puff? puhleeze…the first origami i did was the ‘gas mask’ because my parents and their friend left sooooo much smoke in the living room (we couldn’t go outside at night) it looks like the sailboat….sort of…i forgot how to make it, since there is no second hand smoke anymore
wow, back in the day when they called tv, TELEVISION—then the radio guy chimes in
my goly
LOL this is so cool
Science always wins!!
looks like a burnt monkeys penis
@DstonerS

@StevePlysWithFire no im telling u to not stick up for these… wow
@DstonerS
are you looking to pick a argument online? Seriously man get a life.

So firm, so round, so fully packed. Sounds like a girl I used to know !!
@calimar28 Quit exaggerating. I smoke, and my cigs stay lit quite nicely. Maybe you have emphysema.
Before 1942, the circle around the Lucky Strike name on the pack was green. Just after the US entered WWII, Lucky Strike changed to a red pack. They said “Lucky Strike Green has gone to war.” Their sales dropped, because people thought that Reynolds Tobacco was promoting their overblown “war contribution.” Actually, because of military needs, green dye was impossible for them to get. So Lucky Strike green really had gone to war.
of all cigs these were best as a side dish to coffee for some reason.
I remember this ad when it came out. I don’t smoke. I’m not dead. It didn’t work on me. I laugh at Madison Avenue. By the way, what does L.S./M.F.T. really mean, and why is there a ” / ” between the S. and M.
@YoTengoCorazon
And who are you to decide for other people whats hard to get or easy ?
Lucky Strike <3
I think an epic Lucky Strike commercial would be our troops storming Normandy and gunning down Germans with a lucky strike hanging out of their mouths “Lucky Strike… THE TASTE OF VICTORY!!!”
People need to find a more constructive outlet for themselves than smoking. Smokers foul up the air around them. Since smokers don’t care about their own health, they want to threaten others’ with second-hand smoke. In addition, by encouraging children to take up that disgusting habit, smokers are questionable as role models for children. We can’t ban smoking, but we can discourage it by making it difficult to smoke.
I don’t know why but I kinda want a cigarette.
L.S./M.F.L.C. – Lucky Strike means fine lung cancer.
You know, bloggers are free to post comments about cigarettes they enjoy– write veritable ads for them –and there ain’t a thing Uncle Sam can do about it! So if I say “Natural American Spirit unfiltered is the tastiest and safest smoke going because it uses no additives. Buy a pack today!” Uncle Sam can only bitch and whine until he drools into his wispy beard. So there, Uncle Sam. You ain’t avuncular any more!
@hirvi93 No question about that….Reckon that there is the inspiration for the movie ‘The Wall’.
Lucky Strike….they are wonderful like White People!
@Faighbas I agree. There is a warning label on all tobacco products and if you develop some kind of illness from it i say you should have to pay for it yourself like me.
@death5089 Well, I can see how you put a lot of tax in and take nothing back out at all, as you pay for your own health care and insurance! Its a shame more smokers aren’t like you!
But unfortunitely, over here in Ireland, the health care system is free and comes out of general taxation which non-smokers pay for! I Myself benifit from this system, but those that smoke and use other recreational drugs that damage health and cost money, should lose their medical cards and be forced to go private!
@Faighbas Who pays for those medical grade drugs? Me, a tax payer than buys cigarettes for $9 a pack, a tax payer that pays for his own health care and insurance, and a tax payer who just doesnt give a fuck about how people think ad feel.
Ahh.. The good old days.. Why did we have to come to this? Back in the day, nearly everyone smoked, nobody hassled you for it, and you could smoke almost anywhere.. I love America, but I hate these new organizations that have to ruin it for smokers.
@TimelyMeerkat “lots of things give you cancer my grandfather smoked almost a carton a day for 70 years and got cancer from living in a house full of radon.”
So in other words, are you saying that since using mobile phones can cause brain cancer, it would make no difference if you decided to take a 2 week holiday to one of the Pacific Islands that France used for nuclear testing?????
@death5089 Yes, we all die anyway, but why look like SHIT and suffer disgusting health problems with the associated pain those health problems cause on the way to that journey that leads us to the end of our lives, ALL FOR THE SAKE OF DRIED PLANT LEAVES!
Oh, and who pays for those “medical grade drugs”????? SANTA CLAUS??????
@calimar28 The government will not interfere in your smoking enjoyment(especially in the privilege of your own home!), as long as you don’t expose other unwilling individuals to your addictive and very unhealthy habit!
I say this as a former smoker myself!
@TORSOPHUCK Yes, but how good does your grandpa look?
No offence, but I would bet my house on it that he looks like shit!
Your average 30 year old smoker looks 40, so at 70??? HOLY SHIT!
Lol… It’s toasted…
I’m getting a lucky strike pin up tattoo. Or at least planning to.
0:45 just like the maching hammers in the pink floyd song!! LOL
The music heard at the beginning was also the theme of radio’s “YOUR HIT PARADE” at the time, “This Is My Lucky Day” (hardly a coincidence, since Lucky Strike sponsored “YOUR HIT PARADE” on radio and, eventually, TV).
