Today its common knowledge that cigarettes and other tobacco can have very serious and even fatal effects on your body. We even know hat smoking around other people, children, and even animals can have those same effects on them as well. When ever you're watching TV during every break there is at least one commercial that will warn you about the effects of tobacco. But years ago, maybe in the 1940's smoking was ok and even recommended. People would see these fat shaming ads telling you that instead of eating candy you should smoke a cigarette instead. Ads like these really tricked and shamed people into slowly killing themselves by smoking. Doctors would even indorse cigarettes and encourage their patience into smoking. The tobacco companies knew about the side effects of smoking but they would pay off doctors to keep quiet about the effects. Thankfully now a days we are getting a lot better at condemning the use of tobacco products and talking to our communities youth about the dangers of smoking.
