In cities across the globe, the personal automobile is the single greatest polluter, as emissions from a billion vehicles on the road add up to a planet-wide problem.

Can anyone have a comment on here or anywhere on the net without unintelligent, aggressive, sociopathic people berating each other. Especially with such useless debate!
This is exactly why we need government involved in regulation business. Can you imagine Bert and Ernie hawking Cigarettes or Beer? The sick fuck republicans would thing thats all great as long as they don't hawk condoms. Fuck Republicans.
@edteach2u FYI The Flintstones was a prime time series aimed at adults, and was sponsored by Winston. The cigarette ads never aired when the series was rerun on Saturday mornings for kids. And by the way government regulation does nothing good for anyone.
@luvinhp89 Anyone who believes that line of shit has shit for brains. It aired at 8:30 the same time as Disney, so I guess Disney was targeted for adults. Your a fucking joke. Government Regulation does things like keep Corporations from dumping toxins in our water or from putting lead paint in our kids toys, look at Camp Lajeune without government regulation let toxins dumped contaminate the wells and over a million service men and families have been poisoned and many kids have died. IDIOT.

Bulls**t, everything causes cancer....you think sitting in rush hour traffic with 5,000 exhaust pipes puffing in all directions is not more harmful than smoking a cigarette? Get real....and I don't smoke....I just get sick and tired of busy bodies going around sticking their pointy noses in where it does not belong....go live your own life and leave my life alone...
@HankJDog Your are free to smoke up, but not in places where it forces others to breath your shit. Smoke in your car, your home, but not in public areas where you ruin it for others. Its people who insist on smoking where others are forced to breath their crap that is illegal and rightfully so. What if some crack addict wanted to smoke crack in the local restaurant? Your an idiot.
Oaky for starters, when your sitting in traffic, ur not inhaling the smoke directly also u need some scientific proof tht sitting in traffic is worse than standing next to somone smoking otherwise ur statin nonsense. and the reason people dont like people smoking in public places they are basically killing the people around them for their own selfish desire. Smoke all you want i dont give a shit if u die from it, but dont smoke near me, coz i dont want to breath the crap.

why are cigarettes still legal and readily available? (but cannabis isn't) ... so annoying. there aren't promotions or commercials for cigarettes for obvious reasons, so why are they still on the market?
@kelligirl1210 Because there is consumer demand for them from people who are already addicted to/enjoy them, and since smoking is a part of our culture and young people see and hear about it, they try smoking and become the next generation of cigarette consumers and smoking roll models for the next generation of children.
I chuckled at the "It's what's up front that counts!" remembering George Carlin's routine about sex in cigarette ads. Still, it does not match "I'd walk a mile for a camel."
Why aren't those damn smokes in a stone package with "Winston" chiseled on the front to match everything else around them? Perhaps some alien life form brought that futuristic looking package with them?
i saw numerous episodes of the flintstones in the 1970s and 1980s, and i've seen a bit of it in recent years, and i'm trying to recall whether the major characters smoked winstons ( or any other cigarette ) during the episodes. maybe they simply smoked in the advertisements. i don't recall them smoking as part of the story lines, though i do recall a couple of epsodes where fred and/or barney smoked cigars on special occasions. i get the feeling they didn't mention winstons during the episodes.
@coventrygardens Commercial TV and radio ads for cigarettes were banned in 1969 or 70 so would have never seen them after that. Just a short history lesson.....
@Gooniorjr yea, i knew the ads were banned around that time period, but many programs on tv continued showing people smoking as part of the regular story line. i don't think the flintstones and rubbles normally smoked during the story line, but i think i recall a few episodes where fred and barney smoked cigars. they likely smoked cigars at the water buffalo lodge, or on special occasions. yea, cigars and cactus juice. i definitely recall them drinking cactus juice.
Actually, during the last season of "YOU BET YOUR LIFE" (retitled "THE GROUCHO SHOW" for the 1960-'61 season), Lorillard Tobacco's "Old Gold" cigarettes was their alternate sponsor, 'Retro'.
@lighth4zard it's strange the commercial doesn't have fred saying "yabba-dabba-doo". there were places where they could have fitted it in without making the commercial longer. maybe there were certain seasons when fred didn't use that phrase.
@TheCatgirl6 i think you and i love it because we know how unacceptable the commercial would be today, and because it seems so strange to see these innocent cartoon characters promoting a dangerous ( or supposedly dangerous ) product. if people had never heard that cigarettes were dangerous, it's doubtful the commercial would be so humorous.
@coventrygardens Yeah, I think that's it exactly, especially how weirdly appealing it is to watch Fred and Wilma (sensible, no-nonsense Wilma!) ingesting a carcinogenic substance like they were eating candy. You know from this distance of 50 years that this is incredibly inappropriate... but that's the point. Think how much we've changed as a culture--in ways good and bad--in 50 years! I know better, yet sometimes I catch myself yearning for the days when I didn't know.
@TheCatgirl6 another point: even if the product hadn't been cigarettes, it would still seem strange to me that the flintstones were using such a modern product during the stone age. it would be kind of like having a stone-age family talking about chevrolets or fords or polaroid cameras, something like that.
@coventrygardens actually if you think about it, Everything the Flintstones have is futuristic, Cars, TVs, Dishwashers, Houses, Rock and Roll music, Airplanes! you name it. It's just that they name everything with a stoneage name, Winstons would have been Winstones if they were used in the actual cartoon. They did have a polaroid camera if you remember, a bird in the camera would peck out a photo on a stone slab after the button would nudge them.
@RetroGoop yea, they had appliances that functioned like modern appliances, & yet these appliances were designed as if they were prehistoric. that use of animals to do things that no animal in the real world would do was amusing, like that camera and dishwasher that you mentioned. i think i recall pteradactyl airlines, where a pteradactyl was used like an airplane. but the stuff that functioned like modern appliances had a pseudo-prehistoric look to it, whereas winston cigs is clearly modern.
@RetroGoop Yeah, and for me that concept really worked with the Flintstones, whereas with The Jetsons it fell sort of flat--their space-age cartoon lives had much less appeal for me. I guess it was the imaginatively silly contradiction of modern life-stone age living coupled with witty cultural references (Wilma and Betty strolling through a department store admiring the "new Jackie Kennelrock look" or sighing over Hollyrock dreamboats "Stony Curtis" and "Cary Granite") lol
@TheCatgirl6 it's strange the commercial doesn't have fred saying "yabba-dabba-doo". there were places where they could have fitted it in without making the commercial longer. maybe there were certain seasons when fred didn't use that phrase.
@coventrygardens Or it could have been a trademark issue with Hanna-Barbera. "yabba-dabba-doo" belonged to the character and the show; HB might not have wanted it linked with a different product.
@TheCatgirl6 maybe. anyway, these flintstone commercials for winston have affected me. the other day, i picked up some winston cigarettes instead of what i normally smoked. the recommendation that flintstone gave me in youtube videos inspired me to get winstons. gee, winston isn't allowed to use these commercials anymore, but the commercials are still working. i told the sales clerk that i prefer non-menthol cigs because menthol is probably unhealthy. then she gave me a smirky look.
@coventrygardens If you're using a Hanna-Barbera cartoon as a recommendation for cigarettes, of course she smirked. Take up bowling. Sneak out of your quarry job for an afternoon ballgame. Or find a Loyal Order of Water Buffalos--something healthier than cigs.
@TheCatgirl6 no, i didn't mention fred flintstone to the sales clerk. i got winstons, but i didn't tell her that fred had anything to do with it. she smirked after i said that i prefer non-menthol because menthol may be unhealthy.
@TheCatgirl6 ah, she may have been smirking because she was amused by the fact that i wished to avoid menthol because it's unhealthy. maybe she was thinking, "gee, if someone uses tobacco, then it's strange he would be concerned by the unhealthy effects of menthol." yea, that must have been her thought. ////////////// i have a feeling that non-menthol cigs are ok for the health. those studies that showed cigs being unhealthy were likely the studies that included menthol cig-smokers. lol
@TheCatgirl6 i recall a time when i was at a convenience store, and i saw one of my friends there, and she was buying lottery tickets. she asked me whether i was buying lottery tickets as well. i then said something like, "no. i don't buy lottery tickets. i think they're harmful and addictive and a waste of money. i'm just here to get cigarettes." then she gave me a smirky smile, much like the one that the sales clerk gave me when i said that menthol cigarettes may be harmful.
@TheCatgirl6 the cigs may be harmful, but they are good for my taste buds. hey, maybe the flintstones should be in ads that promote products that are substitutes for smoking. yea, they could have fred speaking for a product that is used for quitting smoking. he could try to make up for his past advertisements.
@TheCatgirl6 here's something else funny. at 0:45, fred says "they really got something.", and then the sales clerk says, "you bet your life." wow!!! what an interesting choice of words. geeez.
@coventrygardens That's something i never picked up on. I wonder if they were part sponsor of the tv show YOU BET YOUR LIFE and slipped the phrase in, I'm sure they weren't thinking of the dangers of smoking. or where they?
@RetroGoop even if they weren't sponsors of "you bet your life", that phrase was likely well known at the time because of that show, and thus the phrase may have been on the mind of the person directing the commercial. when i noticed that phrase in the flintstone/winston commercial, i thought it was an interesting choice of words because so many people eventually decided that smoking could harm a person's health. i didn't think of the show "you bet your life" till i read your comment.
Boy its sure good to have a government which protects us weak minded masses from such scary advertising. And the "dangers" of second hand smoke in privately owned businesses. God bless the American government!
@richycline Fuck you and your fictitious god in the ass. You idiots on the republican side want to ban kids from being exposed to anything sexual because it will influence them to be active or gay ect. but when it comes to real behavior that is dangerous now it is suddenly government overreach. neocons want to outlaw abortion and tell women what contraception to use but let kids be hit with a cartoon that makes smoking look good, your a fucking idiot.
The first two years of the series (1960-'62) were sponsored on alternate weeks by R.J. Reynolds [Winston] {Miles Laboratories, makers of Alka-Seltzer and One-A-Day Vitamins, was the primary sponsor}; as was the custom, the star and/or cast appeared in an "integrated commercial" for the sponsor's product at the end of the episode. This is from a January 1961 episode...
