"The Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act is a United States federal law, passed in 1970, designed to limit the practice of smoking. It required a stronger health warning on cigarette packages, saying "Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health". The Act also banned cigarette advertisements on American radio and television."

Ok, so what are we to make of continued alcohol commercials on tv? It's not as harmful as cigarettes? Anyone ever drop dead as an immediate result of smoking? No. Anyone ever dropped dead on the spot from drinking too much alcohol? Thousands. Every single year. Yet commercials advertising alcohol as glamourous and sexy continue unababted on American tv, but tobacco ads have been banned for over 40 years.
Hypocritical? Nah...Alcohol's fine, little wine every day's good for us we're told. But smoking is a sin, or so the anti-smoking forces would have us believe.
