Trevor Blake: Prohibitionist Revisionism
[LINK-ZUM]
Take a look at the picture of the statue of Hoagy Carmichael in this article. Now take a look at what must have been the source photograph here. Notice anything missing? Maybe this image will make it more clear. Hoagy's cigarette is gone. I think if a person does or did smoke, there's no use pretending they don't or didn't. Bette Davis looks like she is holding her hand in a funny way in this postage stamp until you realize her cigarette has been removed from the image. I'm kind of sad to learn this topic has a Wikipedia entry. People were smoking before mass media so it can't be they were made to smoke because of mass media. Mass media doesn't cause people to look fashionable, say funny things, crash cars or live in the USA so why should anyone think mass media can cause one to smoke?
Here is a public secret: advertising doesn't work. Labels: prohibition
