In this advertisement there is a famous actress that had been on many television shows that were family friendly. So in this case age is not been a boundary to its social group.

In this era it was believed that smoking was considered healthy, this is because we did not have the advanced technology that we have today. So we could not find out whether it was good to smoke or bad to smoke. It was also expected for women to be attractive this is why the actress in the advertisement was considered to be attractive.
