This ad makes total sense. How to best market cigarettes to adults? Use cartoons. Oh wait. Kids like cartoons. Ads like this are probably why the US Government made advertising cigarettes on television illegal in April 1970. That's when Congress passed the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act banning the advertising of cigarettes on television and radio starting on January 2, 1971.
'The Flintstones' was originally a cartoon for adults, not kids.
