When were cigarette ads banned?
I just wanted to know if anyone knew what year cigarette ads were banned from television and then from billboards and news papers. If someone knows some info or can point me in the direction of a good website that would be awesome. I need a little bit more information than just the years of teh different bans. I haven't had much luck in finding the info I need. Thanks in advance.
