Old Tobacco Advertising
Just stumbled across this website loaded with old print advertising. You can spend a long time working through all the ads for tobacco products.
It's listed by decades and some have more than 20 pages of ads.
I'll post a few.

I often wonder if the models used in art like you posted and these ads were all left handed because they are shown clenching the pipe in the right side of their mouths. Someone told me once that most pipe smokers clench their pipes on the opposite side of their dominant hand. I'm right handed and the pipe just feels more natural in the left side of my mouth, for example.

Make sure you read the comments on the bottom pic. They're a stitch!
The link takes you to this article which starts on page 27 and discusses tobacco advertising on the radio.

On page 55 of that magazine is a picture of Dorothy Kilgallen, who was a panelist on "What's my Line" a TV Show in the 50's. She must have been really smart because she didn't get hired for she beauty.
