What year did they stop showing cigarette commercials on tv?

Answer 1

Legislation banning cigarette ads on television (and on radio too) was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in early April 1970. (It should be noted that as time passed, many dramatic and comedy programs got around the ban by showing the characters smoking a cigarette. But the era of a news reporter smoking on camera was over.)

Answer 2

Q: Did they ever stop advertising cigarettes in magazines?

A: No, they did not stop advertising cigarettes in magazines, but they stopped advertising cigarettes on television. I wish they would stop making cigarettes and I wish they were still not advertising it on magazines, even though they don't have cigarette advertisements on TV anymore. It makes me sick when I breathe the smoke or if I cough from it and smell it. YUCK!!!!!!!! (lol) I don't smoke though, because I would never try it at ALL.....
