- Tóm tắt: This is a nostalgic look at the collectibles of an era when smoking was not only socially acceptable but something to be flaunted. In loving detail, the book displays artifacts (some quite ingenious) such as ashtrays, stands, cigarette cases, holders, and lighters. Ads feature such unlikely pitchmen as Fred Astaire, Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck, and Laurel and Hardy. Some social commentary can be gleaned here regarding bygone attitudes about entertaining, leisure time, and health issues (one cigarette is hyped as "a long gain for throat comfort"), and the abundant use of racial stereotypes in popular culture is evident.
