The Flintstones sell cigarettes?

Looking at vintage ads can be a very fun activity. Just like ads for alcohol, it is astonishing what they could get away with when advertising cigarettes back in the day. Advertising cigarettes has so many restrictions now. It is especially illegal to market cigarettes toward children. A vintage ad for Winston Cigarettes does exactly that. It features the Flintstones, a cartoon directed towards children, selling the product. It is very interesting to see how the advertising industry has evolved to where it is today.
