    The introduction of the 1960s Virginia Slims brand, and in particular the "You’ve Come a Long Way Baby" campaign, was specifically aimed at increasing the number of women who smoked.

    In the late 50s, early 60s, Julie London's sultry Marlboro commercial was well known - "You get a lot to like in a Marlboro - filter, flavour, fliptop box."

    While researching this answer, I also came across a reference to Marlboro commercials in the 20s, featuring women, with the slogan "Mild as May"
