Ernte 23 West German cigarette ad, 1986

After a morning of picking daisies, a cute girl smokes a cigarette while sitting on a park bench, enjoying the day. Back in the eighties the female models who appeared in foreign cigarette advertising were often cuter and looked like they were actually smoking more than in US ads. Fine print along the lower left side of the ad even indicates that the picture was taken in Hamburg in March 1986.

 

Before German reunification, and before huge warnings appeared on the front and back of the packs. Just fine print along the bottom of the ad warning of the consequences of smoking along with the tar and nicotine ratings.
