Aw, but those pool-chillin' grandmas totally have style. Cigarette commercials are so judgmental.

Guys, I think there's a subliminal message in this song that's trying to make me smoke cigarettes...

I like how almost none of the people in the commercial were smoking cigarettes. And I certainly don't think "Style" applies to polka-dot pants that you've pulled all the way up to your boobs.

I don't think I've ever seen a portrait of Vladimir Lenin in a cigarette commercial before.

Where was this commercial legally aired? Until I saw the late-90s PC, I was wondering how pre-1970 women were looking so hot.

As for VI Lenin, I believe former revolutionaries are only used for selling cookies. To quote the Garibaldi Biscuit adverts:
Revolutionary biscuits of Italy / Rise up out of your box / You have nothing to lose but your wafers / Yum yum yum yum yum...

I'm pretty sure this is a parody, since cigarette ads have been banned from TV since the '70s. Also, I recognize clips from several other ads...

I really like how she threw the roses into that woman's face there at the end. She's got STYLE!

I had assumed that this was some sort of industry promo, rather than something that was used to actually advertise to consumers, but I don't know.
