Listening to the radio ads for the new movie “Chappaquiddick”, the potential viewer is warned that there are historical acts of smoking depicted in the movie.
I am waiting for them to declare that Viewing smoking can have long term health effects... smoke-ocular risk?

The movie Churchill had the same warning. Idiots do abound in movie land.

 Smoking is Bad, but Murder isn't.

Our local cable company runs TV shows from the early 1950's. Among them is Martin Kane, Private Eye. Every show opens in a tobacco shop with our hero buying a pouch of his favorite pipe blend- Old Briar. The plots are lame, the acting mediocre at best but there are at least 3 scenes in the pipe shop in every show since it was sponsored by American Tobacco Company. Those were the days, my friends.

Smoking is Bad, but Murder isn't. That's a fantastic point. The demonising extends to the flicks too. |

Programming is Free, but the uber reasonable $3.00 a year Gold option is the way to go. |

I don’t think this is what our forefathers has in mind in 1789.

I agree, John. The plots are lame, but it's fun to watch if only for a glimpse into a time before tobacco use was entirely vilified. |

That's how they let you know character was cool or tough back in the day. Stuble and a Camel.
