An antismoking commercial on TV in 1968 was a takeoff on the Marlboro man. A

tough-looking Westerner in a Western saloon is unable to draw his gun on a clean-cut

nonsmoker because he is overcome by a coughing fit, as a slogan reads "Cigarettes

- they're killers".

They Satisfy, p. 213

Between 1967 and 1970, the Federal Trade Commission required anti-smoking TV

and radio messages to balance cigarette ads; at the peak, about a minute of

anti-smoking messages appeared for every three minutes of cigarette ads. During

each year of the campaign, per capita consumption fell, but rose again when the

mandated messages were discontinued.

Smoke and Mirrors, p. 257

A large freeway billboard in different California locations has two Marlboro-mimicking

cowboys pictured with the caption, "Bob, I've got emphysema." It is produced by the

California Department of Health Services funded by the State Tobacco Tax Initiative.
