Physicians and Physiques – Lucky Strikes

“Do you think from your experience with Lucky Strike cigarettes that they are less irritating to sensitive or tender throats than other cigarettes, whatever the reason?”

This question posed to physicians became the basis for Lucky Strike’s claim that “Luckies are less irritating” and provided protection for the throats of smokers. These advertisements also cite singers and performers who were said to prefer Lucky Strike for its promise of “no possible injury to their voices.” Lucky Strike ads also assert that cigarettes will help maintain a “trim” or “slender” figure. These medical claims were a staple of cigarette advertising for many years.
