Re: t-and-f: back when men were men
I recall an old magazine cigarette ad from the 30s or 40s that claimed that smoking their brand actually *improved* your aerobic performance. It featured an Olympic gold medal swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller I think, claiming that his victories were aided by smoking these cigarettes, that unlike other brands "didn't decrease your wind".

Fwd: t-and-f: back when men were men - and smokers were abundant
The programs for the B.A.A. and K of C meets in Boston Garden - up through the final ones - had the following notice on the pages with the one mile and two mile information: "The Games Committee would greatly appreciate the Public Refraining from Smoking during this Event". Apparently, smoking didn't bother runners in 1000 yards and shorter. When I went to the last BAA meet, I remember that the non-smoking during the races really didn't help the air quality. Chesterfield also had the back covers of several of these meets' programs.

t-and-f: back when men were men
(groan) was looking at a copy of the 1948 NCAA Champs meet program today. Back cover is an add for Chesterfield, "the baseball man's cigarette." Pictures of a half-dozen studs, prominent among them Musial & Dimaggio w/ a fag hanging otu of their mouth, Ted Williams holding up a pack (hopefully that means he didn't really smoke and was just a cheap whore picking up a few bucks). gh
