The liberals would be aghast at this picture nowadays, with the prominent place of cigarettes. I assume they were a sponsor, if they got this product placement.

That picture is from the 1950s. Cigarette ads in the US on TV and radio weren’t banned until 1971.

Many of the 1950s TV shows like the Jack Benny Program had cigarette ads embedded in their skits. That is why you do not see those particular episodes on retro TV.

That picture is from Brooklyn: WOR TV channel 9. The sponsors were Lucky Strike cigarettes and Schaefer beer.
