advertising

A Mormon friend living in southern California, David Shaw, reminded me this morning, in the vein of "this date in history", that 40 years ago today on January 1, 1966 the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act of 1965 went into effect. The new law required cigarette manufacturers to label their product with, "Caution: Cigarette Smoking May be Hazardous to Your Health."
