BENSON & HEDGES CIGARETTES: DISADVANTAGES
{BARNEY MELSKY COMMERCIAL REEL} (TV)

Summary

In this classic commercial for Benson & Hedges, a series of vignettes shows that getting used to smoking a 100 mm. cigarette isn't as easy as it might seem. One man's cigarette gets caught in an elevator's closing doors, while another man burns a hole in the newspaper he's reading. In conclusion, the announcer explains that Benson & Hedges 100's are four or five puffs longer than king size -- "once you get the hang of them."
