Stanford's online gallery of Tobacco Company Adverstisements

Stanford University's School of Medicine launched on online gallery of historic tobacco advertisements. According to the website, "Our intention is to tell—principally through advertising images—the story of how, between the late 1920s and the early 1950s, tobacco companies used deceptive and often patently false claims in an effort to reassure the public of the safety of their products." Some of the advertisements are shocking and ridiculous, a few are even disturbing. Check it out!
