Just think about it, in 2016, Philip Morris produced 97 billion cigarettes or almost 5 billion packs that sold out briskly all over the world, including the United States
While cigarette advertising from the late-1920s through the 1950s emphasized images of actresses, ladies of high society, and women gazing longingly into the eyes of men, advertisements from the the 1960s onward reflected the era of womens liberation and featured independent, confident, take-charge, career-minded women
that accounted for about 45 percent of all such sales in the United States
But heres the reality: Cigarettes are not disappearing the ecosystem is expanding
