This ad (full length not pictured) is actually marketed as a cigarette brand preferred by expecting mothers! Not only targeted to women but also on the cusp of awareness that smoking is harmful to children in the womb

Many of the ads were marketed directly toward women and used happy, cheerful expressions or picturesque ideals of gentleness and caring to 'subtly' correlate with the product

This is an example of some of the sexual connotations made in advertisements for these products and how they show the smoker as a "sexy" figure who can get any girl she wants

The Tareyton ads were primarily photos of women smoking with battered black eyes, take that as you wish...
Included (beyond the obvious issues) because of the interesting tagline that smokers would rather fight than quit and how this mentality directly goes against the apparent primary goal of advertising (despite only 10% of smokers a year switching brands) (Kilbourne,
Targets of Cigarette Advertising)

An example of the weight-loss propaganda directed towards women and young girls that Jean Kilbourne discusses in her article on the targets of cigarette advertising

This advertisement was beyond absurd to me because it not only features a baby AND is marketed towards mothers, but also insinuates the mood stabilizing/therapeutic benefits of smoking as well as the assumption that mommy will be enjoying that cigarette indoors with the children present
Could this ad be from before the Marlboro marketing shift to targeting men over women as potential smokers?

Camels are the perfect brand to demonstrate the cartoon character appeal that can be desirable to children. Their advertisements feature a goofy yet rebellious smoking camel, and sometimes sexy girls on cars in Hollywood, because clearly that's how cool smoking is
