Virginia Slims ad
Abandoned mezzanine, 2nd Avenue subway station. Can anyone date the ad?

Update: yukino has done some research, found scary archives of cigarette advertising, and suggests that the poster dates to 1987. I'm surprised the subway had cigarette ads so recently.

Apparently the Ultra Lights were released in 1987, so that's your vintage. I think I've even found your billboard, at the Philip Morris Ad Archive (search for 2061000377).
