From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Camels come in the following varieties:
In late 1987 RJR created Joe Camel, a mascot for the brand. In 1991, the American Medical Association pubilshed a report stating that more 5- and 6-year olds could recognize Joe Camel easier that Mickey Mouse or Fred Flintstone. This led to the association to ask RJR to pull the Joe Camel campaign. RJR declined, but was followed with more appeals in 1993 and 1994. On July 10, 1997 the Joe Camel campaign was retired. It was replaced with a more adult campaign.
