  1. No, it’s not. Not even close. Ronald Regan did ads for Chesterfield Cigarettes. Then there were the ads with pictures of “doctors” and the statement that 9 out of 10 doctors recommend Lucky Strikes. (At least I seem to recall it was Luckys… Could have been Camels.)

    • HI Scott…I think the ads you are thinking of were the ones that said “According to a national survey, more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.” But this ad gave us a real start because we had never recalled seeing a baby used in an ad to promote a major cigarette brand.
