Menthol cigarettes have been around for over 70 years, in fact, Spud brand cigarettes, patented in 1924, were the first to add menthol to tobacco. The ads wanted people to smoke as much as they wanted to since the cooling effect of menthol would make it easy and smooth. Later Kool cigarettes showed up on the scene in 1933 and they used a penguin named willy until about 1960 or so. Most cigarette menthol ads wanted to push the "healthy" side of smoking with the menthol option but it was later abandoned as a healthy alternative in the 1950s
