This was a promo item that you could purchase with Camel C-Notes. Each pack of Camel Cigarettes had 1 C-Note. Here's a more detailed look: Origin and Purpose: Joe Camel was introduced in 1987 as a way to revitalize the Camel brand and appeal to younger audiences. The campaign aimed to increase market share among young smokers. Appearance and Design: Joe Camel is a cartoon character with a camel's head and a humanoid body. He is often depicted with sunglasses, stylish clothing, and a cigarette, often with a "cool" or "rebellious" attitude. Controversy and Impact: The campaign faced significant criticism from health organizations and public health experts who argued that Joe Camel's cartoonish appearance and association with a cigarette made it appealing to children and teenagers. Studies showed that children could readily identify with Joe Camel, and some research suggested that the campaign influenced children's perceptions of smoking as cool or desirable. Legal and Ethical Issues: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated the Joe Camel campaign, alleging that it violated fair trade practices by targeting children and promoting a dangerous product to minors. End of the Campaign: R.J. Reynolds eventually discontinued the Joe Camel campaign in 1997. The company replaced the character with more adult-oriented advertising campaigns.
