I don’t miss the cigarette commercials on TV, but I do miss the various paint schemes and advertising on F1 race cars, Marlboro McLaren, John Player Special Lotus, Gitanes Ligier, etc.

When watching vintage hockey games from the 1970s and 80s at the old Montreal Forum, I always like seeing the ads in the stands at the old arena for Players and DuMaurier (Canadian cigarette brands). Those added that kind of ambience to the place as opposed to the slick corporate ads of today in sporting venues.
