Joe Camel

Joe Camel (officially Old Joe) was the advertising mascot for Camel cigarettes since the end of 1987 to 12 July, 1997, contained in the magazine advertisements, billboards and other print media.

History

In RJ Reynolds U.S. marketing, is looking for ideas to promote camel 75 years, reopened in the company of Joe archives in the late 1980's.

Quote from The New York Times:

"Joe Camel was actually born in the United States. In caricatured camel was created in 1974 by a British artist, Billy Coulton, for a French advertising campaign that subsequently ran in other countries in the 1970's. In fact, Mr. O'Toole recalled a visit France for many years, during which he glimpsed Joe Camel wearing a Foreign Legion cap. The impetus for Mr. Price was a cartoon camel, Old Joe, who has appeared on all Camel packages with the brand's initial appearance in 1913. "

Joe Camel first appeared in the United States in 1988 in materials created by the 75 th anniversary of the brand by Trone camel advertising. Trone is a medium-sized agency in Greensboro, NC, that Reynolds used on various advertising and promotional projects.

Disputes

In 1991 in the Journal of American Medical Association published a study shows that more children, 5 and 6 years old could recognize Joe Camel than could recognize Mickey Mouse or Fred Flintstone, and claimed that "Joe Camel" campaign, ostensibly directed for children - in spite of the RJ Reynolds' that the campaign had been researched only among adults, and was directed only at the smokers of other brands. At that time, it was estimated that over 30% of all cigarettes sold in the United States were Marlboros. Subsequently, the American Medical Association said, RJ Reynolds Nabisco pull campaign. RJ Reynolds refused, and the Joe Camel campaign was continuing. In 1991, Janet Mangini, the San Francisco-based attorney, brought a lawsuit against RJ Reynolds, challenging the company to target minors with its "Joe Camel" advertising campaign. In its complaint, Mangini claimed that adolescents smoke was US $ 476 million sales of Camel cigarettes in 1992. When the Joe Camel advertising began in 1988, this figure was only $ 6 million ", implicitly suggesting that the advertisement had caused damage to a lot of teenagers by involving them in the widespread use of and addiction to tobacco."

RJ Reynolds to this day denies the Joe Camel was to be aimed at children, the company contends that the Joe Camel target audience of 25-49-year-old man and current smokers, Marlboro. In response to criticism, RJ Reynolds instituted "Let disinfecting smoking" campaign for a full page magazine advertisements, consisting entirely of text, usually in large type set, denying the accusations and said that smoking is an adult custom. "

Internal documents produced to the court in Mangini v. RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company, San Francisco Superior Court number 959516, indicates the interest of industry in the interests of children in the future smokers. The importance of the youth market has been demonstrated in the 1974 presentation of RJR Vice President of Marketing, who explained that "young adult market to represent ... [S] tomorrow's cigarette business. As this 14-24 age group matures, they will be key for the proportion of total volume of cigarettes - at least for the next 25 years. " In the 1974 memo by RJ Reynolds Research Department shows that capture the young market is vital, because "virtually all [smokers] to begin with 25 years of age and the majority of smokers start smoking regularly and select a usual brand at or before age 18."

In July 1997, under pressure from the impending Mangini Court, Congress and various public interest groups, RJR announced it will be resolved without a trial and voluntarily cease its Joe Camel campaign. New campaign with more adult debut theme: instead of Joe Camel, it is simply an image of the quadruped, not anthropomorphic camel. This image is still used in advertising for Camel today. Under that agreement, RJR also paid $ 10 million in San Francisco and other California cities and counties that have intervened in the Mangini litigation. These funds were allocated primarily to fund anti-smoking efforts aimed at young people.

In less serious contradictions exist in the form of allegedly "hidden" image within the Joe Camel face. According to a popular urban legend, the camel is designed to resemble male genitalia. This situation lamented in heartsease Division song "Touch My Joe Camel." In its lead singer, asserts, "The company denies all the \ say that this is not a cock and balls \ small children, even they understand, \ This is not a camel in the face, but the sexual glands"

Camel Cigarettes Marketing

The camel in the logo is of the dromedary variety. In languages other than English, a distinction is made between camels and dromedaries, so the name and image do not coincide. The name was chosen because in the early 20th century travels to far away places were in vogue and a camel supposedly symbolised that nicely.

Packaging in Art

The Camel pack is featured prominently in Tom Robbins novel Still Life with Woodpecker, billed as "a love story that happens inside a pack of cigarettes". The book's artwork is modeled after a pack of Camels, and the package artwork and history are discussed extensively in the book, and it is also mentioned that a pack of Camels is the best friend you have in prison.

Background

The signature scene on most Camel cigarette packs shows a single camel on desert land with pyramids and palm trees in the background. Contrary to what some say is "inconsistency", the background is referencing the brand Camel as opposed to the type of tobacco blended. The image seems to stem from an ancient Egyptian boardgame called Hyena. The hyena is simply replaced by the camel, while the background scene remains the same. On the back of the actual pack is a desert scene with bazaars and mosques. On European versions, the desert scene has been replaced by a health warning.

Graphic Design

Fred Otto Kleesattel was commissioned in 1913 to draw the original camel. "Fritz" was a highly sought after graphic designer living in Louisville, KY and was commissioned through his company Klee Ad Art to design the packaging for the camel cigarettes. Klee Ad Art was also integral in designs for Four Roses Distillery, Heaven Hill Distilleries, and many other now immediately recognizable brands. While enlisted in the U.S. Army Mr. Kleesattel worked as a camouflage artist disguising buildings, vehicles, and other sensitive targets to resemble the surrounding animals and plants. There are popular urban myths surrounding subliminal images being hidden within the drawing of the camel.

Package texts

The reverse sides of many packs or boxes of Camel cigarettes display variations of the following text:

Turkish tobacco is the world's smoothest, most aromatic leaf. Blending it with more robust domestic tobaccos is the secret to Camel's distinctive flavor and world-class smoothness.

In 2008, this was changed to:

A master-crafted blend of only the finest hand-picked Samsun & Izmir Turkish tobaccos with a robust domestic tobacco blend creates Camel's distinctive flavor and world-class smoothness.

The reverse side of unfiltered "soft pack" Camel cigarettes, for dozens of years, has displayed this text:

Don't look for premiums or coupons, as the cost of the tobaccos blended in Camel Cigarettes prohibits the use of them.

Or alternatively can be seen displaying the text (later removed from some packets with the introduction of health warning messages):

Camel, a premium blend of the finest quality tobaccos, provides genuine smoking pleasure.

The reverse side of unfiltered "soft pack" Camel cigarettes, produced by JT International reads:

CAMEL cigarettes contain a blend of choice Turkish and American tobaccos to bring you full smoking satisfaction with CAMEL quality.

Camel Wides, starting in 2008, began displaying this on the reverse side of the pack:

The larger gauge of a Camel Wides cigarette makes for the smoothest, most flavorful way to enjoy Camel's distinctive blend of the finest Turkish and Domestic tobaccos.

Camel Cash

Notwithstanding the message telling smokers not to look for premiums or coupons on Camels, the brand nonetheless featured such a promotion called "Camel Cash". Camel Cash, or "C-Note" (C-Note = 5 US cents), is a coupon stuck to the back of filtered varieties of Camel cigarettes. It was made to resemble currency and could be exchanged for items from Camel's Camel Cash catalogue. The artwork changed many times over the years, and in the past included the face of Joe Camel, the controversial cartoon camel, much in the same way as presidents are featured on American currency. Camel Cash redemption expired on March 31, 2007.

Joe Camel

Joe Camel was a controversial cartoon camel that primarily appeared in advertisements for Camel, but also appeared on "Camel Cash" and a number of origami Pop-up print ads. Joe Camel came under scrutiny as some considered use of the character to be advertising directed at children. Camel paid millions of dollars to settle lawsuits accusing them of using Joe Camel to market smoking to children. His image was removed from Camel Cash, and at the same time (July 1997) discontinued in advertisements. Now, some people even call the cigarette a "Joe".

Camel Cigarettes History

In 1913, R.J. Reynolds has developed a new innovation: the packaged cigarettes. Most smokers who have smoked cigarettes preferred to turn his own, and there are believed to be no national market for packaged cigarettes. Reynolds has worked in the development of taste, he believes it would be more attractive than the latest products, creating a Camel cigarette, so named because it used a Turkish paper, in imitation of fashionable while Egyptian cigarettes. Reynolds undercut competitors at the cost of cigarettes, and a year later it was sold 425 million packs of camels.

Camel cigarettes were originally blended to have a milder taste, in contrast to brands that were considered much harsher at the time of its introduction. They were encouraged in advance, before the official release, by a careful advertising campaign that included "teasers" which merely stated that "the Camels are" (play on the old Scottish folk song "The Campbells are"). This marketing style was the prototype for attempts to influence public opinion that coincided with the United States entry into World War I and then World War II. Another strategy to encourage the use of Circus camel, 'Old Joe', which was caused through the city and used for distribution of free cigarettes. Old Joe was not really a camel at all, although he was a horse with a huge tumor on his back and was used as a model for the camel on the package.

The trademark catch-phrase slogan, used for decades, was "I walk a mile for a camel!"

The most famous historical style of Camel cigarettes soft pack regular, unfiltered variety. Camel regulation reached its zenith of popularity through personalities such as news broadcaster Edward R. Murrow, who smoked up to four packs of Camel regulation per day, due to the use of Camel cigarette as his trademark.
Camel cigarette logo

In late 1987, RJR created Joe Camel as the mascot for the brand. In 1991, the American Medical Association published a report that the 5 - and 6-year-old age, it would be easier to recognize Joe Camel than Mickey Mouse, Fred Flintstone, Bugs Bunny or even Barbie. This association led to ask RJR to terminate Joe Camel campaign. RJR declined, but further appeals followed in 1993 and 1994. 10 July 1997, the Joe Camel campaign, resigned and was replaced by more adult campaign which appealed to the wishes of the twenty-somethings to meet - or - the beautiful and exotic women (they are, nevertheless, wishes to share with young male) in the 1930's and attire and themes.

In Europe, Camel brand of cigarettes is also rolling papers and cigarette roll their own tobacco. It supports 20-level brand Ryo tobacco and papers in Northern Europe with yearly expansion into Southern and Eastern Europe in line with European Subsidiary annual report.

In 2005, Camel implemented new changes to the Turkish flavors by adding the name on the cigarette paper and changing the filter color and design. A combination called "Turkish Silver", a light version of both the Turkish Gold and Royal variety, and also became available this year. After burning, the text on paper is often still visible on the ashes.

Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the city where RJR was founded, was nicknamed "Camel City" at one time because of the popularity of the brand. Nevertheless, the name passing from use by local residents.

From 1972-1993, Camel became the main sponsor of the then-popular IMSA auto racing series, entitled, as Camel GT, as well as in the period from 1987 to 1991, he financed the Lotus Formula One team and in the nineties, sponsored the factory Honda team in the AMA Superbike series.

Turkish tobacco, which is used in Camel cigarettes has a much more distinctive odor when burned as compared to other cigarettes. He usually has a darker, Browner smell of smoke. Filtered Camel cigarettes sold outside the United States JT International do not contain Turkish tobacco.

Camel Cigarettes

I smoked a few cigarettes in my time, and a number of different brands. Marlboro, Winston, Carlton, any number of cheap generics. Of them all, but certainly one worth far above all others: Camel.

A camel is a strong cigarette, but he has a wonderful aroma, that can not be said of many other cigarettes. Even Marlboro beginning to fade into nothingness for tastiness after you smoke a camel. In my opinion, the taste of cigarettes, all the same. There are slight differences in taste, obviously, nothing can be exactly the same, but the camel is that really stands out. It's almost like smoking a cigar, a pleasant, albeit smaller and not so much.

Camels have a great-tasting cigarette. If you are not satisfied with the current brand, try a camel, I do not think you'll be disappointed. Even Camel Lights tastier than the average cigarette, and it is difficult to achieve the feat in the light cigarettes.

Natasha Davis-Carr wrote the Journal Gazette, because she wanted to know that the high incidence of cancer among their relatives and neighbors. Replying to a question of Health looked at cancer rates in your zip code and found high levels of lung cancer. Assessment of potential environmental causes, such as industrial contamination does not explain it.

When health care workers carefully examined the prevalence of cigarette smoking in the ZIP code, which covers the neighborhood, environmental hazards arise whether - about the dangers of living in poor, working class quarter in the intersection of hairs from the tobacco industry in marketing strategy. This makes it by a public health officials to target smoking cigarettes as they would target contaminated soil, contaminated a pond or a smokestack billowing noxious fumes.

Michael Schroeder, two of the investigation of cancer cases in the 46803 ZIP code shows almost undeniable link between poverty and lung cancer. Throughout the county, the poorest and least educated ZIP code areas had high rates of lung cancer, even if it is adjusted for age differences. And the link between smoking and lung cancer is not in doubt: Smoking accounts for 87 per cent of deaths from lung cancer, according to the Association of American light.

In the latest census figures show that more than 30 percent of residents in the region of 46,803 live below the poverty line, where the median household income of $ 23,974 was the lowest in Fort Wayne, and far below the state median income of $ 41,567. This working class demographic also describes favorite sector market cigarettes to persons under Karla Sneegas, executive director of Indiana Tobacco Prevention and cessation.

"This is particularly the demographic focus heavily on the tobacco industry with their marketing and promotion," she said Schroeder.

Journal of Tobacco Control reinforces its approval, Philip Morris, with reference to the documents relating to an advertising campaign aimed at women who earn less than $ 30,000 a year, and the RJ Reynolds campaign aimed at working class women.

This advertising campaign is extensive. Last year, the tobacco industry spent $ 13.1 billion - $ 36 million a day - in order to promote its deadly product, according to the report of the American Association of Light.

Fighting firepower that requires a strong public health policy. Fort Wayne in the smoking of cigarettes is an effective policy, and it should be retained. Dr. Deborah McMahan, Allen County Health Commissioner, proposes to make another cigarette smoking cessation program is available for residents with low incomes. Lutheran Hospital currently provides a successful program, but McMahan points out that access to such a program is critical.

She said she would like to request funds from the state tobacco program to stop the creation of a site at the Lafayette Medical Center, where he will be more accessible to residents of low-income neighborhoods.

"The success rate is great", McMahan said about the program, which combines group support, one-on-one counseling and pharmacological assistance.

"If we see high rates of cancer, it really is to us, as health officials to do everything we can to bring the program to those areas that need help," she said.

Public funds from Indiana share in multistate tobacco lawsuit settlement. That would be a wise and appropriate investments are aimed at resolving the money only when the tobacco companies have targeted their marketing dollars.

Small tobacco companies cry foul.

Latest article, "States tackle deep-discount cigarettes," says that "cheap cigarettes have undercut the major tobacco companies and their ability to make payments to states under the master settlement agreement." Nothing could be further from the truth.

Participating manufacturers decrease in sales volume due to the reduction in smoking rates, increased government taxes, excise taxes and their inability to compete with independent brands on price, not because the situation in the settlement.

Supporters of the law to block the nonparticipating manufacturers to obtain the release of their escrow deposits (allocable share of provisions) see this as a way to put independent producers out of business brands. Ironically, some small companies, mostly foreign manufacturers who do not have U.S. tax obligations, to support this legislation because it would eliminate their smaller competitors. These stamps will still be in business, and price their products lower than the big tobacco. Legislation to abolish the allocable share of the provisions would lead to the closure of small local producers.

This law is anticompetitive and anticonsumer. Unfortunately, the settlement payments blinded by some States of the basic concepts of free enterprise. Independent producers propose legislation to make payments directly to the states based on the distribution share, rather than a deposit account. Big tobacco has shown his true colors, working to block these attempts.

A number of States, had the courage and foresight to block legislation to abolish the distribution share. Lawsuits filed by now in other countries to eliminate these TAWS unconstitutional. As only one of them makes its way through the courts successfully, similar laws in other states would fall like dominoes.

Cross-border freedom called above the call to service.

The days when you can take the 200 free cheap cigarettes, each time you switched to the English Channel more. European Union agreed to a couple of years ago that the emergence of the single European market the concept of duty-free goods to travel between EU member states in the absurd.

Excise paid in the UK, should be recognized as an excise tax payable in France or Belgium, and vice versa. Thus, you can make purchases anywhere in the EU, irrespective of the quantity you want and bring it home, do not pay additional taxes - provided that it is intended for personal use.

This is what the single market funds. The smooth cross-border shopping for those with vehicles.

Who should make the duty-free shop at Calais, where you can drive a little further up the coast of Belgium, buy cheap cigarettes by 43 per cent of the price in the UK stores and bring in unlimited quantities, in the trunk of your car?

And here is the rub. Some excise tax may be paid in Belgium, when you buy a package of 20 premium brand of smokes at GBP1.97 (about HK $ 23,88). But this is not quite the equivalent of what you pay in the UK for a package of 20 at GBP4.51.

With funding for the 20 day habit, it makes sense to make the trip every six months or so, the package 4000 cheap cigarettes in the back of the van and save GBP508. Unfortunately, this is not simply an enterprising individual smoker who worked in this for themselves. Since organized crime. The tobacco industry asserts that approximately one in five cigarette smoked in Britain is smuggled, while 80 per cent of rolling tobacco as contraband.

British Customs smoked a bit about the traffic in cheap cigarettes and some have developed stringent methods of solutions - such as the confiscation of any suspicious van, the cheap cigarettes found within it, and everything else that could be it.

In one recent case, Customs officers at Dover imposed not only van worth GBP20, 000, 9000 cheap cigarettes and 20 bottles of spirits, but also preserve for six months in a wheelchair from the alleged smugglers in the 90-year-old mother-in-law.

Was whether Her Majesty's Customs and Excise, that the van had broken down to a question during a vacation in Spain and was repatriated to the automobile association? This, of course, do not cause any special sympathy. On the contrary, the owner may have a better chance of claiming the 9000 cheap cigarettes were for personal use, if he was driving at the time.

The Department has issued guidelines for its staff that is nothing more than cheap 800 cigarettes in one party can not be for personal use. Not surprisingly, the Customs and Excise seized more than 22,000 cars in the past three years.

The EU is not happy. This gave Britain two months to prove that the customs officials, without violating the right of consumers to freely buy anywhere in Europe. As the EU Internal Market Commissioner Frits Bolkestein put it recently: "Cross-border trade ... is a fundamental right in accordance with EU legislation, and should not be regarded as a form of tax evasion."

Despite Mr Bolkestein that difficult to consider cross-border buying cheap cigarettes, except as a form of tax evasion. As long as price differences between countries are a consequence of different levels of government, taxes, rather than a reflection of free competition, not a single market for cheap cigarettes. There are 15 separate markets.

Deliberately stockings in Belgium, where 79 percent of the recommended retail price is British and excise taxes, of course, looks like tax evasion, if not directly evasion.

But the fault can hardly be put on the smoker. It is up to EU governments to agree on their excise tax rates or face a determined effort to expand them for an indefinite period. Otherwise, there will always be both punters and criminal gangs are trying to get their hands on cheap cigarettes. If people could not travel abroad for cheap prices, it will most likely be very tempted by the temptation of low prices of smuggled goods.

As long as the EU insists that there is a single market for cheap cigarettes, and consumers have the right to make purchases as they like, as a policy exemption of private vehicles on the suspicion was inappropriate and possibly illegal under British and EU legislation.

Pounds 800k Docks cigarette carriage removed.

Cheap contraband cigarettes from the retail value of about 800,000 pounds had been recovered by HM Customs and Excise in Belfast.

In 3175400 counterfeit cigarettes were found on board a ship arriving in Belfast Docks from China during the week.

In cheap Superkings cigarettes were smuggled inside lead-lined boxes, which are used to transport a glass plate.

There have been no arrests, but the circumstances surrounding the party is currently being investigated.

HM Customs head of detection for Northern Ireland, Colin McAllister explained he was not only capture them in recent times.

"This was a well-organized and sophisticated smuggling attempt and demonstrates HMRC's commitment to fight tobacco smuggling," he said.

"A large amount of cheap cigarettes seized at Belfast Docks, which follows from the recent seizures of 400,000 cigarettes in Northern Ireland's airports since the beginning of December, shows that the smuggling of tobacco products, not on a small scale, victimless crime. It can be highly organized and profitable, and we are working to combat this menace. "

Mr. McAllister also encouraged smokers to buy cigarettes, they are not suspected of illegal.

"Smokers who think they are a bargain do not understand that this is fair trade losses of the company, the cost of billions of dollars of lost revenue and lines the pockets of criminals instead of funding public services," he explained.

"If smokers buy cigarettes, then there is a strong likelihood that they will buy cheap counterfeit cigarettes.

"So if you're tempted to buy cheap cigarettes on the street or in a bar - what you are doing is not only the financing of organized crime, it can be more dangerous for your health than cigarettes real cheap."

'Camel' Ads

An hour later, after he was sworn in yesterday in New York Commissioner of Consumer Affairs, Mark Green, took on one of the largest tobacco companies, RJ Reynolds, saying that he was children to smoke.

An hour later, after he was sworn in yesterday in New York Commissioner of Consumer Affairs, Mark Green, took on one of the largest tobacco companies, RJ Reynolds, saying that he byl»sklonenie children to smoke.»

Mr. Green was the specific goal of an advertising campaign that uses a cartoon character of a camel - sometimes dressed in a tuxedo or wearing sunglasses, but they are always smoking and always with a beautiful woman nearby - to promote Camel cigarettes. He said that the cartoon figure clearly appealed to young people.

In a letter sent yesterday to Nabisco, Mr. Louis V. Gerstner Jr., Mr. Green wrote,»As a father of two young children and a new The Commissioner for Consumer Affairs, I am appalled at your 'smooth character' Camel advertising campaign, that the risk of the use of children cigarettes.»

Last month, RJ Reynolds - the division of RJR Nabisco - has been criticized for its plans to market two brands of cigarettes, one pointing mainly on blacks and other young, blue-collar white women.

The carefully-planned campaign Representative RJ Reynolds, David Fishel, said:»As usual, he decided to release it in the media before he gave it to the company, which states for us what he has done today seems to be part of a carefully orchestrated campaign by anti-smoking activists to ensure publicity basis for anti-smoking legislation hearings held in Washington today.»

The Senate Labor Committee is considering a bill that would allow the federal government the authority to ban dangerous additives from cigarettes and require that cigarette packages as a list of additives and to bear a warning that smoking is addictive.

Camel “campaign three years,” Mr. Fishel said. «It is not directed at children. We have seen no evidence of a period of three years in the program that he has any particular youth appeal.»

Mr. Green said his concern was focused on advertising in the magazine Rolling Stone, posters offering a smooth Symbol multfilma.

'Effort to involve children

“It was not until I noticed once in a perforated at the bottom of the 'Rolling Stone' poster”, which allows readers to delete the Congress instructed the warning label, that I decided to write to you, “Mr. Green wrote to Mr. Gerstner. Lie” is not an ad campaign apparent purpose lure children smoking tobacco in violation of its own code of 1964 against advertising aimed at children?»

The letter further asked: “Who watches and talks about the cartoon characters, children or adults? Who impressionable to associate smoking and The success and money, children or adults?”

Mr. Green, 44 years old, was sworn in at $ 97000 a year in office Mayor David N. Dinkins at noon in the Board Room at City Hall Assessment, with his wife, Deni Frand, and his two children, Jenya, 11, and Jonah, 5, at his side. A senior campaign adviser to the mayor, Mr. Green has long been the consumer advocate.

Advertising Camel cigs

This is not a big secret, the producers of Jerry Springer talk show, knew exactly what would happen when they put the Ku Klux Klan and the Black Panther Party at one stage. Both groups started fighting, and most people tuned to watch it. In the same manner, Camel Cigarettes

The company has released ads that parodied this type of program. In the advertisement, entitled "Bizarre Bigfoot love triangle" shows the kind scenes that are typical for a Jerry Springer episode. The characters consist of Bigfoot, on average, two women struggle with bouncers trying to hold them back, the host who pretends to be confused with the looks, and admiring audience. "Viewer discretion reported" a label that is placed on Camel ads. It is also a parody of a new ranking system that has evolved on TV, movies and music in recent times. One Reduction of the BR, which stands for "Big Ratings," another comment that applies to Jerry Springer.

Anyone who saw "Jerry Springer" knows the true reaction of the majority of the audience. Many people believe that the show is ridiculous, outrageous, and sometimes obscene. Sometimes it is even considered comical, and this is what makes this announcement, he appealed to the people who are familiar with Jerry Springer and his show. When people see this ad, they immediately think of the show, and that's what makes it work. It almost does not with cigarettes, and except for the fact that smoking is a Sasquatch, there is no connection between the Jerry Springer show and experience of smoking Camel cigarettes. There simply are not correlated. One thing it would be implying, however, is that if one smokes Camel Cigarettes, that person will have a scantily dressed women were fighting for it.

Images of Joe Camel

In the City Court of Paris rejected the claim of opponents of smoking groups, the American tobacco giant RJ Reynolds, which manufactures cigarettes under the Camel brand.

The National Committee of smoking opponents have argued that the Camel 15 - ty of options for packaging with various images of Joe Camel - very attractive image of a minor, - called on children and teenagers to gather a full "collection" Camel packages.

However, the court dismissed the claim, stating in its decision that "although the law and prohibits the advertising, promotion and free distribution tobacco, he could not determine which images used in the presentation package, except to post a reminder of the negative the impact of smoking on health. "

Nevertheless, the court instructed the RJ Reynolds Tobacco 8 thousand euro fine and 1,5 thousand euro compensation for losses due to the fact that

Company autocratically changed text warnings about dangers of smoking, millions of packs of Camel, attributing the output in accordance with the law 91-32. Change the text, in the opinion of the judges, has led many consumers less serious about prevention.

Kate Hudson and Leonardo DiCaprio have recently been caught in public smoking

HOLLYWOOD VICE: Kate Hudson and Leonardo DiCaprio have recently been caught in public smoking. She appeared in Us Weekly, he in People.

Antismoking activists worry about the message sent to young people.
ANYONE following the goings-on of Mary-Kate Olsen in the weekly glossies knows that she is 19, that she attends New York University, that she has

battled anorexia and that she dates a Greek shipping heir.They also know that she smokes, thanks to the fact that this month alone she has

appeared in at least three celebrity magazines fishing for a cigarette or holding a Marlboro pack in one hand and a cigarette in another while

shopping in Los Angeles.

Such images of stars smoking off-screen were relatively rare five years ago, but with the proliferation of celebrity magazines and the competition

for candid pictures, more shots of celebrities smoking are being published, magazine editors, photographers and stars' publicists say. And with

smoking bans pushing smokers outdoors, "if you're going to smoke, you're going to get caught," said Gary Morgan, a founder of the photo agency

Splash News.

It is too early to document whether this kind of exposure can influence young readers to light up, but some antismoking groups have voiced

concern. While overall smoking rates have been down since the mid-90's, existing research has shown a direct correlation between on-screen smoking

and the onset of smoking in teenagers. Antismoking experts say that seeing celebrities smoking off-screen would have the same effect. One study,

by researchers at Dartmouth College, found that adolescents who viewed the most smoking in movies were almost three times more likely to take up

smoking than those who viewed the least.

The best camel cigarettes

One of the best brand of cigarettes is Camel. It was introduced by American company RJ.Reynolds Tobacco in 1913. Camel cigarettes contain a blend of Turkish and Virginia tobacco. In 2008 the blend was changed as was the package design.


RJ.Reynolds, in 1913 developed a great innovation: the packaged cigarette. Most tobacco consumers who smoked cigarettes preferred to roll their own, and there was thought to be no national market for pre-packaged cigarettes. Reynolds worked to increase a flavor he thought would be more calling than past products, creating the Camel cigarette, so given name because it utilized Turkish paper. Reynolds destabilize opponents on the price of the cigarettes, and within a year, he had sold 425 million packs of Camels one.

Camel cigarettes were firstly blended to have a milder taste in contrast to trademarks that were considered much harsher at the time of its introduction. They were advance promoted, prior to official make public, by a careful publicity campaign that included "teasers" which merely stated that "the Camels are coming"(a play on the old Scottish folk song, "The Campbells Are Coming").This marketing style was a example for attempts to sway public opinion that coincided with the United States' entry into World War I, and later World War II. Another promotion policy was the use of a Circus camel, 'Old Joe', which was driven through settlement and used to distribute free cigarettes. Old Joe was utilized as the representation for the camel on the package.

In 1987, R J Reynolds began one of the most successful campaigns in advertising history. On its 75th anniversary in 1988 he initiated new character in the Camel Advertising: Joe Camel. Four years later, the Journal of the American Medical Association publishes two reports on Joe Camel and kids. One study found that 91% of 6 year olds distinguished Joe Camel, like to the percent that recognized Mickey Mouse. The other study discovers that since the foundation of the Joe Camel campaign in 1987, Camel cigarettes distribute of the under 18 market has dramatically increased in sales! The young character was portrayed as charming and complicated in diverse social settings, such as bars and pool halls. The campaign had aided to raise Camel cigarettes promote share. As part of the industry's settlement with state attorneys general, tobacco companies agreed to reduce human and cartoon figures in advertising --- a move that doomed both Camel cigarette's Joe Camel and Marlboro cigarette's Marlboro Man. But Camel logos have previously found their way into collections of tobacco memorabilia around the world. Cigarettes packs are illustrated in full and reach colors and constitute values to the collectors.

For decades, Camel has been a male-focused cigarette; but R.J.Reynolds began to produce Camel cigarettes planed for females. Camel No. 9 cigarettes come in a package that is hot-pink with the slogan, "Light and luscious." The new variation, Camel No. 9, has a name that evokes women's fragrances like Chanel No. 19, as well as a song about romance, "Love Potion No. 9."A Camel image at the pack is a thing for arguments as one can always recognize things which aren't really there. All kinds of things have been written about what can be seen in the Camel body: Lion, Manneken Pis , Naked Man.

Graphic Design

Fred Otto Kleesattel was commissioned in 1913 to draw the novel camel. "Fritz" was a very sought after graphic designer living in Louisville, KY and was commissioned through his company Klee Ad Art to design the packaging for the camel cigarettes. Klee Ad Art was also Integra in designs for Four Roses Distillery, Heaven Hill Distilleries, and a lot of other now instantly recognizable brands. While enlisted in the U.S. Army Mr. Kleesattel worked as a camouflage artist disguising constructions, vehicles, and other sensitive targets to resemble the surrounding animals and plants. There are stylish urban myths surrounding subliminal images being hidden within the representation of the camel.

Camel cigarettes - "I'd walk a mile for a Camel"

Camel is a brand of cigarettes that was introduced by American company R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in the summer of 1913. Most current Camel cigarettes contain a blend of Turkish and Virginia tobacco.
Camel cigarettes were originally blended to have a milder taste in contrast to brands that were considered much harsher at the time of its introduction. They were advance promoted, prior to official release, by a careful advertising campaign that included "teasers" which merely stated that "the Camels are coming" (a play on the old Scottish folk song, "The Campbells Are Coming"). This marketing style was, in fact, a prototype for attempts to sway public opinion that coincided with the United States' entry into the First World War, and later the Second World War. Another promotion strategy was the use of a Circus camel, 'Old Joe', which was driven through town and used to distribute free cigarettes. Old Joe was used as the model for the camel on the package.

The brand's catch-phrase slogan, used for decades, was "I'd walk a mile for a Camel!"

The most famous historical style of Camel cigarettes is the soft pack of the regular, unfiltered variety. Camel regulars achieved the zenith of their popularity through personalities such as news broadcaster Edward R. Murrow, who smoked up to four packs of Camel regulars per day, in effect using a Camel cigarette as his trademark.

From 1972-1993, Camel was the title sponsor of the then-popular IMSA auto racing series, titled as Camel GT, as well as between 1987 to 1991, it sponsored the Lotus Formula One team and in the nineties, sponsored the factory Honda team in the AMA Superbike series.

In late 1987, RJR created Joe Camel as the mascot for the brand. In 1991, the American Medical Association published a report stating that 5- and 6-year olds could more easily recognize Joe Camel than Mickey Mouse, Fred Flintstone, Bugs Bunny or even Barbie.[1] This led the association to ask RJR to terminate the Joe Camel campaign. RJR declined, but further appeals followed in 1993 and 1994. On July 10, 1997, the Joe Camel campaign was retired and replaced with a somewhat more adult campaign which appealed to the desires of twenty-somethings to meet -- or be -- beautiful and exotic women (desires they nonetheless share with teenagers) in 1930s attire and themes.

In Europe, Camel is also a brand of cigarette rolling papers and cigarette roll-your-own tobacco. It maintains a top 20 level brand of RYO tobacco and papers in Northern Europe with yearly expansion into Southern and Eastern Europe according to the European Subsidiary's annual report.

In 2005, Camel implemented new changes to the Turkish flavors by adding the name on the cigarette paper and changing the filter color and design. A blend called "Turkish Silver", a light version of both the Turkish Gold and Royal varieties, also became available that year. After burning, the text on the paper is often still visible on the ashes.

Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the city where R.J.R. was founded, was nicknamed "Camel City" at one time because of the brand's popularity. However, this name is passing out of usage among locals.

From 1972-1993, Camel was the title sponsor of the then-popular IMSA auto racing series, titled as Camel GT, as well as between 1987 to 1991, it sponsored the Lotus Formula One team and in the nineties, sponsored the factory Honda team in the AMA Superbike series.

The Turkish tobacco that is used in Camel cigarettes has a much more distinctive odor when burned as compared to other cigarettes. It generally has a darker, browner smell to the smoke.
