Vintage ad for Marlboro cigarettes. A dramatic illustration of a wealthy woman in a slimline dress, wearing black gloves and pearls. Her left hand hovers over a piano keyboard while her right one holds a cigarette. Tagline reads: "Marlboro – America's Luxury Cigarette"


Big oil = Big tobacco.... both knew the danger heir products were doing & hid it while arguing the science was mistaken.
