In Germany they still have cigarette advertising. It's bizarre to see billboards of happy couples sharing Gauloises and Lucky Strikes.
It occurred to me today that the billboards look exactly like Coca Cola ads, but with cigarettes.
Funny that. Given the damage cigarettes and soft drinks have both done to public health, should we be surprised they advertise the same way? With smiling young attractive couples who are clearly heading off to have hot sweaty sex as soon as they finish their 'zigaretten' or bottle of Coke.
