The original KEEP CALM posters are from the London Blitz era in the 1940-42 period.

I quit smoking twenty three years ago. After several months of non-smoking, I had one with my MIL and it made me so dizzy that I could hardly stand up. They are more potent than we know.
Where did you find this one?
There was a time when smoking was not known to be a health hazard and the worst you could say about it was that it was a messy habit and also that you could kill yourself by falling asleep with a lit cigarette. That's how Jack Cassidy, the actor, died.
yeah!!!!! keep calm while your being blown up---trust the poms to come up with this slogan
That crown reminds me of the Chesterfield logo.
I'm not a smoker, but if I was, I would like to time travel back to the 40's (but not the blitz) and roll one to see how the potency of the tobacco has changed since then. I think today's cigarettes are probably so chemically enhanced they have lost touch with what tobacco really is.
