Zuviel Rauchen gefährdet die Gesundheit. Vielleicht mal eine weniger--. Entwurf: Rambow + Lienemeyer.

The firm Rambow + Lienemeyer existed between 1960 and 1973, after which it became Rambow Lienemeyer van de Sand. The partners were Gunter Rambow and Gerhard Lienemeyer

A pencil inscription on the verso refers to the commissioning body thus: "Auftragg[eber]:Landesverband gegen Suchtgefahren". There were such organizations in several Länder. e.g Badischer Landesverband gegen Suchtgefahren. However there does not appear to have been one in the state including the city of Kassel (where this poster was produced), namely Hesse. There was however a "Hessische Landesstelle gegen die Suchtgefahren e.V." which was founded in 1953; at some time it changed its name to Hessische Landesstelle für Suchtfragen (HLS) e.V. This organization may have commissioned the present work
