Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Throughout the 60s, many famous actors/actresses would advertise smoking. Which cigarette brand did Rock Hudson smoke?

Answer: Camel

Rock Hudson was the sex symbol of the era and men who wanted to imitate Mr. Hudson and win all the women would smoke Camels.

2. Which item was invented to 1852 to encourage someone to smoke more?

Answer: matches

You would think with the invention of fire during the cave man days that smoking started then. I guess no one ever found a cave picture with a stick in a cave man's mouth?

3. Lucky Strikes was another cigarette that was advertised by an actor/actress. Which one?

Answer: Spencer Tracy

Smoking cigarettes was very fashionable in the 50s and 60s. People wanted to copy actors and actresses of the time. If Hollywood was fashionable, then so were cigarettes.

4. Which cigarette was advertised in the NASCAR Cup series in 1977?

Answer: Winston

Since then, the "Winston Cup" has become part of the NASCAR association.

5. Which brand of cigarette would you "walk a mile" for?

Answer: Camel

Camel's slogan was "I'd walk a mile for a Camel!"

Rabbit tobacco was not a company brand smoke, but for those people who could not afford a pack of cigarettes, it was easy to go out your back door in the country, pick some "rabbit tobacco" and roll your own.

6. In which decade did Marlboro start using cowboys in its advertising?

Answer: 1950s

Marlboro started using cowboys in its advertising in the 1950s, with great success. Until then, its products had been aimed at the female market, but the use of rugged men (in particular cowboys) transformed the image overnight into one associated with masculine appeal.

7. The first advertisement for cigarettes was in 1789 in the New York Daily News?

Answer: True

Someone found out early that smoking was not good for a body; it's been 300 hundred years and there are places today, such as bars and restaurants, that will not allow you to smoke in their establishments.

8. Which cigarette used the slogan "I would rather fight than switch"?

Answer: Tareyton

The great advertisement for this was a man with a black circle around his eye.

9. Which cigarette used the logo "You've come a long way baby?"

Answer: Virginia Slims

Tobacco agencies wanted to push women to buy their product. This company would show women from the 20s hiding to smoke - to the 70s looking very cool and sophisticated smoking the long/thin cigarettes.

10. From the 70s in the US to date cigarettes advertisements on TV, bill boards, and magazines have been ordered to stop.

Answer: True

April "April Fools Day" 1, 1970. This was the beginning, (started by Richard Milhouse Nixon), of a life time of promoting not cigarettes, but good health.
