Скачать или смотреть Did Doctors Really Prescribe Cigarettes?

From the 1930s to the early 1950s, doctors endorsed cigarettes, even prescribing them for throat irritation, which was a clear act of deception. This systematic manipulation was fueled by big tobacco, who heavily influenced medical opinions through public relations. Learn about the history of tobacco smoking and the anti-tobacco movement.

Doctors actually prescribed certain cigarettes as medical treatment for asthma, throat irritation, and other conditions. The R.J. Reynolds "More Doctors Smoke Camels" campaign claimed 113,597 physicians endorsed their brand after systematically bribing doctors with free cartons at medical conventions.

This shocking investigation exposes the systematic manipulation of medical authority by tobacco companies who recruited doctors through financial incentives, sponsored medical lounges at conventions, and created fake "Medical Relations Divisions" to produce fraudulent research.

We examine authentic vintage TV commercials, magazine ads, and medical journal advertisements where doctors endorsed cigarettes as healthy, and reveal how the entire healthcare system became complicit in promoting deadly products as medicine.

Philip Morris ads featured doctors writing literal prescriptions for cigarettes to treat sore throats, claiming that prescribing cigarettes to patients "cleared up every case of throat irritation completely." The New England Journal of Medicine and Journal of the American Medical Association regularly published cigarette advertisements throughout the 1930s and 1940s, lending scientific credibility to products we now know cause cancer and heart disease.

Tobacco companies didn't just buy individual doctors—they systematically corrupted medical research. They sponsored researchers to "prove" their cigarettes were less irritating, funded fraudulent studies, and even convinced the American Medical Association to create a "Seal of Acceptance" program that monetized medical credibility for corporate profits.

The 1964 Surgeon General's report finally established that smoking causes cancer, but decades of medical authority had been used to promote deadly products, creating a public health catastrophe that continues today. This historical manipulation reveals how easily medical expertise can be corrupted when corporate profits are at stake.

This video features authentic footage from vintage "More Doctors Smoke Camels" TV commercials, original medical journal advertisements, and documented evidence of tobacco company bribery campaigns that convinced over 113,000 physicians to endorse cigarettes as healthy products.
