Before the full health implications of
smoking became generally accepted, smoking had been promoted as being
glamorous, manly, and even making you more attractive to the opposite sex.

history but the graphic design and illustration remain interesting even if they are now historical documents.

ReplyDeleteProbably because of the 3D effect of the pipe and the smoke against the wallpaper.
