| | A 1929 American Tobacco Company ad claimed that cigarettes were actually |
| | health-giving. "For years this has been no secret to those who keep fit and trim. They |
| | know that Luckies steady their nerves and do not hurt their physical condition. They |
| | know that Lucky Strikes are the favorite cigarettes of many prominent athletes who |
| | must keep in good shape. They respect the opinions of 20,679 physicians who |
| | maintain that Luckies are less irritating to the throat than other cigarettes." |

| | Ads for Camels in 1935 featuring Lou Gehrig claimed "They Don't Get Your Wind... |
| | So mild, you can smoke all you want." And tennis star Bill Tilden was quoted, "Playing |
| | competitive tennis day after day, I've got to keep in top physical condition. I smoke |
| | Camels, the mild cigarette. They don't get my wind or upset my nerves." |

| | The average young nonsmoking Navy man runs a mile and a half on the physical |
| | fitness test in 11 minutes 20 seconds. The average smoker of a pack a day or more |
| | takes a minute and half longer to run the same distance. For men over age 30, the |
| | averages are 12 minutes 20 seconds for nonsmokers and 15 minutes 15 seconds for |
| | the smoking group. |

| | In a study of physical fitness in 19 year olds, the average nonsmoker was able to run |
| | 2613 meters in 12 minutes. The average 19 year old smoker of a pack a day or more, |
| | however, was able to run only 2253 meters in the same time, or 360 meters behind |
| | the nonsmoking group. |
