Abstract:

Tobacco advertising has changed through the years. Early 19th-century advertisements featured men and women joyously smoking and walking together. J.B. Duke created the first major tobacco advertising campaign with Bull Durham cigarettes. He also sold the first cigarettes marketed for women: White Rose and American Beauties, and conceived the idea of including picture-cards in cigarette packs that served as advertisement and stiffened the cigarette box offering greater protection for the tobacco. In 1911 R.J. Reynolds began a marketing campaign that focused on only one cigarette -- Camels.

Abstract:

In the early 1940s, the Washington tobacco market attempted to become competitive in lucrative tobacco markets. Employing ingenuity and creativity to the company's advertising scheme, the solution was to organize a traveling show. The group of men travelled to rural communities in Washington to sing and tell anecdotes, generally entertaining the crowd and promoting the product.

Abstract:

The Mail Pouch ad campaign dated back to 1897, when Aaron and Samuel Bloch decided to test the market for a by-product produced in their Wheeling, West Virginia stogie plant. Farmers helped to advertise the experimental chewing tobacco on their barns, in exchange for tobacco as payment. After the program ended, the painted barns discontinued and they are now recognized as a vanishing American folk art.

Abstract:

The greater popularity of tobacco products overseas makes this plant still a major cash crop for North Carolina. Therein lies a delicate balance: supporting the manufacture of these products in light of reports of e-cigarette related health hazards and controversy surrounding the marketing of such products to youth.

Abstract:

This company’s 1955 advertisements and series of articles published by Lorillard in Carolina Times suggested African Americans had the same opportunities for advancement as other races in the United States. It wasn’t until the opening of a new plant in Greensboro the following year that the truth dismissed in both media items started to come to light. It was by examining the experiences of African American workers in this plant between 1956-1970, plus the history of their involvement in the tobacco industry, the author reveals further the truth about the challenges African Americans faced on the job and in society.
