Maybe they were for smoking a mold cavity?

I'm guessing both. That add looks a bit old. Remember all the older films where the doctor walks into a patient's room in the hospital, coat open, cigarette hanging from his bottom lip, x-rays in his hand? Tose were the good old days!

I can remember sitting with my Dr. in the exam room and smoking with him as we talked, but that was a long time ago.

I would assume it's just ad material for give aways to keep the brand name in circulation. I'm only 34 but my grandfather had dozens of old matchbooks that he kept around in containers around the house. I remember being told to dig through the container next to his easy chair for the number to the pizza place in town.
