In the 1870s, social authors reported children as young as six-years-old smoking cigarettes daily. Their parents were invariably alcoholics who slept on barroom floors after drinking themselves into a stupor. It was an ugly cycle, that repeated itself over-and-over again, generation-after-generation. It was this kind of behavior that ultimately led to the 18th Amendment, that of course, proved to cause more problems than it solved. Education is really the only way to cure the ills of society. The more educated people become, the less likely they are to commit crimes and fall into deleterious addictions. Certainly, nothing is 100% foolproof in overcoming social ills, but education has been the best panacea thus far.
@@NewarkBay357 lt seems that society learns too late. Doctors prescribed smoking back in the late 1800's and early 1900's as a method to clear lungs 🫁. They didn't realize that "tobacco is a slow, insidious, but most malignant poison...it is all the more dangerous because it's effects are slow and at first hardly perceptible" (EGW/MINISTRY OF HEALING [1905], p. 327, 328). It wasn't until 1957 that medical science determined that cigarettes were hazardous to your health. But cigarette commercials still flourished until the '70's. And sadly, many still haven't learned to avoid this pernicious habit.
He didn’t actually but he has a reason in 1965 he had lung cancer from all dem camels so he had a lung removed and still lived tell 1978 I think it was so he wasn’t able to run or do a lot of stunts for a good chunk of his movies but he was able to some how make it past lung cancer until stomach cancer took him
@@Ilovechocolatelabs He was pretty tough in his battle with cancer (he actually coined the word "the big C") -- he continued to live for another 13 years after getting surgery for lung cancer, which involved having a lung and a rib removed.
Tragically and ironically, John Wayne died of cancer in 1979. It may have been due to his smoking, it may have been due to his leading role in the cinematic turkey The Conqueror, where filming took place in the Nevada desert, an area which had been used to test atomic weapons.
REALLY? Possibly. The long term effects of both smoking and irradiation were little known then. There is evidence that the tobacco industry deliberately suppressed vital medical research material that revealed the harmful effects of smoking. If people want to smoke then that's fine. However, I think that the tobacco industry has a lot to answer for. The original Marlboro man would probably agree with me if he hadn't died of lung cancer.
I work in television. At one station, we had a voice-over guy with a deep voice. I asked him how he gets his voice in shape like that. He said "I drove around all night with the windows down and smoked a pack of cigarettes." Then he started laughing. 😆
Back then they didn't know the dangers of smoking, even doctors smoked in the hospital. Heck, I remember being able to smoke anywhere you wanted to, airplanes, restaurants, at school, anywhere. John quit when he found out, but for him the damage was already done. Sad really.
The year 1957 was when the ACS determined that smoking was harmful to health. But as far back as 1905 and before, Seventh-day Adventists were warned of the dangers. "Tobacco is a slow, insidious, but most malignant poison...it is all the more dangerous because it's effects are slow and at first hardly perceptible. It is more subtle, and its effects are difficult to eradicate from the system" (EGW/Ministry of Healing [1905], p. 327, 328).
The harm was deliberately hidden. Actors do what they are Paid to do -- even the ones in $1,000 suits and white coats. Look up Edwin Bernays, from Ger, who was the "father of mktg/poopaganda"
I met him in 1973 august and again in 74 one year later , my hero . Radiation poisoning killed the man and his friends . Making a movie in a nuclear testing area ,thanks US government .
It is known that the children of the actors and the filming crew played around with geiger counters. They noticed that there was a very high dose of radiation in the area and did nothing. You can't blame everything on the government, even if it is the easiest way to find someone to blame.
But cigarettes are so flavorful, delicious, savory, scrumptious and good- So healthful and satisfying. The incessant hacking cough and all the other issues cause by smoking are so worth the staggering discomfort of nicotine addiction. Yum!
And when you smoked enough packs, you sent in your proof of purchase coupons and got a gift prize from Marlboro or Camel. My friend Vernon got lots of "free" stuff: lighters; hats ; a jacket ; t- shirt ; some camping stuff... ultimately he had a stroke and died at 59. That was his big prize.
VERY rare for Wayne to appear in a TV commercial at that time [1951], as he preferred not to appear regularly on television (which is why he turned down CBS' request to star as "Marshal Matt Dillon" on "GUNSMOKE" in 1955, suggesting his friend James Arness instead). However, for an endorsement given to R.J. Reynolds, he gave his all for Camels during the early '50s, on TV AND in magazine ads {John must have gotten all the Camels he could smoke from them}.
That a common myth. Wayne was a big movie star in the 1950s , way too big to be offered a fledgling low budget half hour TV show. His young protege' Arness was offered the role. Other candidates were Richard Boone- deemed too ugly and Raymond Burr- too fat. Arness was unsure. He asked his mentor Wayne if he should take it, concerned that if he did, his chances of a movie career would be stymied. Wayne said "Take it." It was the best advise ever. The show lasted an amazing 20 years, from 1955 to 1975. It was expanded from 1/2 hour to an hour from 1962 to 1975. Arness became financially secure, a TV star, and set for life.
It’s fun knowing at least 8 million people die every year to keep those divvies rolling in. Imperial, Altria, British American, Philip Morris Intl… oh yeah baby
Ya ha,pilgrim. I been smokin camels 44 years now. I'm still alive and still enjoy every one of em. Hard to picture now,but there was a day we weren't treated like lepers.
Yeah,I never thought I'd see a day in America when it was more acceptable to smoke a reefer than a cigarette. Good thing Duke isn't here to see it. He'd turn over in his grave.
ChurchillCigar But these people are so annoying saying that he got cancer and all but they don't realise that he smoked 6 packs a day since he was a young adult and got cancer at the age of 59. These days people smoke a lot less than that and therefore the chance of getting cancer is much lower.
I worked for 8 years with a guy who smoked 6 packs a day and drank a gallon of coffee black. It seemed like he always had a lit cigarette in his mouth for the entire 8 hours a night. One after another, endlessly. A miserable bastard on top of that.

@Mike sometimes the world needs to separate the wheat from the chaff, war is natural to men and should be considered natural. We have completely destroyed the mechanic of evolution by this egalitarian nightmare society we live in.

I read that Camel Cigarettes were the first nationally sold cigarettes in America in 1913. Before that all cigarettes were local. I also read that Marlboro, Newport and Camel are the 3 most popular cigarettes in America. I guess if John Wayne smokes em; they ain't so bad! LOL.
He starred in "The Conqueror" in the role of Genghis Kahn, filmed 1955 on location in the Escalante Desert of Utah. The desert is located downwind and just over the border from the above-ground nuclear testing the Army conducted in Nevada (about due north of Las Vegas) beginning in 1951, and was still underway at the time of filming. A particularly nasty test in the Spring of 1953, dubbed "Dirty Harry" by the locals, dumped enough radioactive dust on the area to kill sheep and other livestock. www.deseretnews.com/article/865650393/Downwinders-is-disturbing-documentary-about-testing-fallout-makes-a-good-case.html?pg=all
I started on camel non filter, great cigarettes.. been smoking marlboro for 20 plus years.. he smoked 7 packs a day and died in his 70s.. love john wayne!
I deplore cigarettes, but back in the day the ad companies had TV cigarette commercials with snappy jingles, cute skits, attractive people and fine singers. Those ad agencies were really on the ball. No wonder they enticed so many people into smoking. "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should"; " Us Taryton smokers would rather FIGHT than switch" ; "Come to Marlboro country"...It was all very clever.
I've never smoked, but 120 cigarettes for a 16 hour day (assuming one is not smoking when they're asleep), is one every 8 minutes. That's seems like constant smoking. Smoking while eating, in the shower, driving, walking, at work, on the train, plane, having sex, etc. Non-stop. If one is trying to commit suicide, that should do it. :/
Former heavy smoker here. I think three packs a day is what you go through if you smoke near-constantly. If you sleep little, you might be able to smoke more. But I think such people as John Wayne, they didn't smoke every cigarette down, they also tossed many of them or let them burn in the ashtray. Like, having three puffs between shooting scenes and then abandoning the cigarette. One thing I noticed is that people who smoked more than I did frequently had a cigarette smoldering in the ashtray and would sometimes light a new one, having forgotten about the cigarette in the ashtray.
I think I'd rather go quickly and quietly in my sleep at 90 than after months of agonizing pain from cancer. I know all about it, ex-smoker, 3 packs a day, now stage 4 cancer.
Does anybody remember the old Camel cigarette advertisements (billboard and magazine) that showed a man sitting back, enjoying a cigarette, with a hole in the bottom of his shoe with the text saying " I'll walk a mile for a Camel" ?
I'll tell you one thing about camel, the filterless ones were the best tasting cigarette I ever had.🤠 and no I'm not the Marlboro Man I'm just from Wyoming.

Camel is my favorite cigarette brand to smoke because it’s not like strong like Marlboro. I started smoking at 14. I’m 23 years old and I still smoke cigarettes. I also vape and smoke hookahs.
The Conqueror was filmed in St George UTAH Downwind from NEVADA where Tests had been done.

From Google: "the number of centenarians in the United States grew by 66 percent between 1980 and 2010 to 53,364, while the total population increased 36 percent. Only about 35 percent of people over 100 nationwide live in a nursing home, requiring around-the-clock care - down significantly from 48 percent as recently as 1990. That means most of the rest are living with family or independently, and experts say that number will grow in coming years."
I don't think any of you are getting the salient point being made here. We may not have known the dangers of doing certain things back then, but what it means is, there must be things we're doing even right now that are just as stupid and dangerous. We just don't see them that way, and we're still doing them nonetheless.
My parents smoked Camels when I was a kid. Switched to Viceroy filters after a while. Neither was a very heavy smoker, but cigarettes killed them both.
+Ian Williams But suffered lung cancer which required removal a a lung and some ribs; then stomach cancer. Back then, treatments for cancers were fewer and even more gruesome.
There are probably less than 100 people in the world born in 1907 or before that are still alive today. So it's a virtual guarantee that anyone born at that time is dead now.
Smoking has declined a lot in America, but the amount of vices seems to be fixed. Smoking has been replaced by a horrific obesity situation and with a heroine epidemic. For some reason half of humankind has been smoking for 40000 years and the reason isn't that nobody figured out to start harrassing smokers before the 1990s. Well, USA (and other industrialized nations) enjoy the fatness and channel swimming, at least you're not smokers.
I love camels. To bad in my country I cant find them with out filters. I been smoking camels for 24 yrs. Never mind the 30 day trial. Lol.

The duke should know. Oh by the way he drank like a fish too.
Camel is my favorite cigarette brand to smoke because it’s not like strong like Marlboro. I started smoking at 14. I’m 23 years old and I still smoke cigarettes. I also vape and smoke hookahs.
Camels are the best loved them back when i used to smoke
try it and end up like john wayne
He died from smoking. As a public service, Playboy magazine ran his old ad on the back cover, with a big note to not smoke.
The Conqueror was filmed in St George UTAH Downwind from NEVADA where Tests had been done. The Studios wanting to make it look even more REAL went THERE after location filming and brought in RADIOACTIVE DIRT from the LOCATION. Driving Semi's THROUGH Nevada, California and yes HOLLYWOOD with RADIOACTIVE DIRT. The GOOD Old Days.
From Google:
"the number of centenarians in the United States grew by 66 percent between 1980 and 2010 to 53,364, while the total population increased 36 percent.
Only about 35 percent of people over 100 nationwide live in a nursing home, requiring around-the-clock care - down significantly from 48 percent as recently as 1990. That means most of the rest are living with family or independently, and experts say that number will grow in coming years."
John Wayne has a topical smoking voice. hello cancer
I've been smoking them for 20 years if I count the 9 months I was in my mother's womb,
I don't think any of you are getting the salient point being made here.
We may not have known the dangers of doing certain things back then, but what it means is, there must be things we're doing even right now that are just as stupid and dangerous. We just don't see them that way, and we're still doing them nonetheless.
Great point
Nine out of ten men who have tried Camels still prefer women.
I should hope so !
Looks like John Wayne punched Kramer from Seinfeld.
R.I.H (Rest in Hypocrisy), Marion.
Marion Robert Morrison
Un fucking believable commercial this was like banned in my country if aired on maass media
john wayne cannot be graceful like this and fight all this number of men if he smokes cigarettes
he was cancer free for over 6 years after they removed his lung...and he did smoke 6 packs a day
Pack after pack!
Smoke only 30 days, huh?
9 out of 10 men who have tried Camels, prefer women
I never heard that John Wayne was gay but he did walk kinda funny. lol
Walked with a limp.
He would have lived longer than 72 if he never smoked those cigarettes.
nah
Maybe so maybe not, it’s kind of pointless to speculate one way or the other
my name is John Wayne
aka the Duke. Real name Marion Robert Morrison.
yeah,that one worked out well for him
He was down to one lung before he passed...
At least he was a real man.... Not like Hollywood types today
I smoked Camels about 10yrs.
My parents smoked Camels when I was a kid. Switched to Viceroy filters after a while. Neither was a very heavy smoker, but cigarettes killed them both.
Yeah yeah yeah wanna have a good time the ARCHIVES
Even if smoking wasn't harmful, it would still seem like a pretty stupid thing to me.
Pack after pack...
Puff after puff.
I doubt he would be saying that before he passed? Regardless he was an American icon
60 a day caught up with him !
More like 80-100, actually. Likely more.
John Wayne's real name was Marion Robert Morrison.
he got cancer from filming at a radioactive location, many of the crew and cast were diagnosed
...and then after I smoke this relaxing cigarette, I plan to get covered in Nevada Test Site nuclear fallout!
Holy mother...I thought this only happened in satire...but the commercials WERE like that....
I gave em up 35 years ago,never felt worse🥴
Ya I want be like John Wayne and smoke. where's he now? HELLO!!!
+Soxruleyanksdrool He was also 72 years old, not exactly young.
+Ian Williams But suffered lung cancer which required removal a a lung and some ribs; then stomach cancer. Back then, treatments for cancers were fewer and even more gruesome.
No one lives forever jerk.
He got old and died. These things happen.
hes old u dumb fuck. humans don't live forevrr
"he was born in 1907.. do the math, so he'd be dead now"
There are people born in 1907 who are alive now.
I doubt it.
There are probably less than 100 people in the world born in 1907 or before that are still alive today. So it's a virtual guarantee that anyone born at that time is dead now.
Smoking has declined a lot in America, but the amount of vices seems to be fixed. Smoking has been replaced by a horrific obesity situation and with a heroine epidemic. For some reason half of humankind has been smoking for 40000 years and the reason isn't that nobody figured out to start harrassing smokers before the 1990s. Well, USA (and other industrialized nations) enjoy the fatness and channel swimming, at least you're not smokers.
Yep
I love camels. To bad in my country I cant find them with out filters. I been smoking camels for 24 yrs. Never mind the 30 day trial. Lol. I signed up 4 the 30 yr trial. 100 yr trial if they have them 1s. Pack after pack. Week after week and yr after yr. Decade after decade. Soooo delicious. Wish I was a spokesman or on these commercials. To bad we don't c them commercials anymore. I smoke 2 packs a day. I absolutely luv shmoking. Camels number 1. Always. Taste great. What happened 2 the good ol days. I ain't never quitting. Lol. I ain't thou
Come here in Philippines thiers a lots of vintage camel cigarettes here
I wonder if John Wayne enjoyed a nice, relaxing Camel cigarette when he turned down the recruiters in WW2?
How dare you criticize Marion!
Pack after pack 😀
Puff after puff.
Shame John close not to fight in WW2 as he was such a hero in all his films
He did try to become a secret agent in the O.S.S. during the war, but when they wrote him back the letter was mailed to his first wife Josephine and she never told him about it because they were separated and going through a divorce at the time.
@@bradcouch457 Yes because the OSS would have had such a hard time tracking Wayne in Hollywood. I would Imagine he was propping up local bars
He was a man who wasn't perfect just like the rest, Unless you some how are so you have the right to talk down to anyone you want, If you were about to get your big break acting I'm sure you wouldn't of passed it up.
@@smokersorus6421 It's the persona that pisses a lot of people off. And the way his movies glorify war and make it look like a game... If he'd ever experienced the true horror of war he probably would have had nothing to do with that genre
@@peterburry2531 He was no coward in real life tho, he knocked out Sinatras body guard after they disturbed him. He was too old for a combat position in the war too most likely, he would just have gotten some job away from the front anyway.
we kinda have to remember alot of places he flimed, was filled with radation too, so cigarettes was not the only problem John had
radiation? what kind of places are you talking about, just out of curiosity?
@@AjarSensation nuclear testing sites in Navada.
@@smokersorus6421 what was he doing at a nuclear testing site?
Se estivesse vivo ele se arrependeria amargamente de ter feito esse comercial.
“Good tasting” since when did cigarettes ever taste good?
John Wayne was always bald, and he had a woman's name.
His real name was Marion.
And "Kirk Douglas" was a Slavic man from eastern Europe called Issur Danielovitch. And "George Michael" was a Greek man Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou. It tells you all you need to know about selling your soul for the fame and money.
He died of stomach cancer, not lung cancer.
@AlaokDibar he lived long though, but chain smoking THAT long from such a young age sure is gonna kill your lungs
He managed to stay alive for 20 years while smoking?
To everyone bitching out the late John Wayne...He was a 5 pack a day smoker...you wonder why he died of lung and stomach cancer? Really don't smoke like a chimney and you will be fine.
Random fact here for you.
John Wayne smoked 6 packs a day
Yeah, Marion sure did love those Camels.
cigarettes' did help people but the negative was worse
