December 31, 1970 @midnight was the last time cigarettes could be advertised on Television and Radio in the USA. Tobacco companies bought up all the advertising time in that last hour ….then January 1, 1971 just after midnight they ran Partridge Family ads….lol

Wow, that early!
I don't smoke anymore, but I still miss them and the branding. I smoked Capstan Full Strength which weren't for the faint hearted! In England and Ireland the cinema was the last place to advertise fags (as we call them)... I don't have a problem with advertising as the cigarette user pays an awful lot of tax on a 20 pack... Currently €18 here in Ireland.
