@TheEgyptianOne Just checked Wikipedia. Apparently the first two seasons of The Flintstones were indeed for adults only and sponsored by Winston. It was only the later seasons where the show became more family oriented.

Anyone seen the Flintstones cigarette commercial? I guess that show was for adults when it first aired.

@PigsInBlanket Ah! Okay...you'd think I would remember it was 71 and not 70..D'OH! Salem Light 100s were my ciggie of choice, fortunately, I quit smoking back in '88.

@RedneckSpaceMan No. They were supposed to be banned on January 1, 1971, but were banned until the next day due to the Rose Bowl.

Back in high school, I did a report on how the perception of smoking has changed in our culture. When I focused on the late-1960's, I found that much fewer people smoked when TV smoking ads ran alongside anti-smoking ads. By 1971, when smoking ads were banned on TV, they stopped making anti-smoking ads, and once again, the number of cigarettes increased drastically.
By the way, I love this jingle.

So how many of those people do you think are dead or dying by now?
Anti-Tobacco Lawmaker: "The reason tobacco commercials aren't on TV is because they're addictive, deadly, and they make you think smoking makes you cool."
Background TV: "The new Bud Light Specially Designed Can will make all your friends want to come to your house and party!"
Me: *facepalm*

The good ole days when you could light up and really enjoy a smoke without some as*hole dictating to you about the dangers of smoking.
