Tobacco smoking and war are a marriage made in heaven.
This ad announces that smoking is at an all time high -which seems very likely in the war-time economy of 1943.
But the red text with the wording "And you are safer smoking..." is totally misleading. Major weasel-wording here. Even with the disclaimer at the bottom, the casual reader thinks this is actually good for you.
