It makes sense that this PSA was sponsored by the New York State Department of Health. At this time, I was watching border stations eminating from NYS. Another anti-smoking PSA on at that time was called "Break Free"; it was a Canadian anti-smoking public service announcement. Luba, who sang the song, was at the height of her popularity in Canada when that PSA was recorded. It was sponsored by Health & Welfare Canada (as it. was known then). If anyone has Break Free, please upload it.
I saw these commercials when I was a kid on channel 11 (just not sure why they still to this day show Dairy Queen spots when they'll never be in NY). And I remember the "Cigarette Mash". Memories.
I remember at one point, the 60s Batman TV series was on Channel 5 during the 1980s. IIRC, Super Friends ran head to head against Batman for a short time.
@JMFabianoRPL I may be mistaking it for another version, I know Channel 11 did add another version of Super Friends to their rerun cycle in 1985, can't remember which version though. Always thought it was the LSPS, for some reason.

Did WPIX show All-New SF Hour episodes too? (I just remember Wendy/Marvin, Challenge, and the '78 full team episodes)

@JMFabianoRPL Yep, they did. I think they also picked up the Legendary Super Powers Show in fall of 85.

@johnissoevil That I don't remember AT ALL. I don't recall seeing that outside of ABC before the CN reruns and then DVDs.
