The 'green' in "Lucky Strike green goes to war" was the green dye used in the green prewar package... the war time and later packages were white, both had the red 'ball'... Boy! you youngsters! L.S.M.F.T. to some ment 'loose suspenders mean falling trousers'...

I smoked 'em for 60 years, finally quit two years ago... but if I get diagnosed with terminal cancer, the first thing I'm gonna do is buy a carton of Luckies.
