• Pat shares memories of the "Father Like Son" anti-smoking PSA from 1967
• Examination of cigarette marketing tactics, including celebrity endorsements from John Wayne and characters from The Flintstones and Beverly Hillbillies
• Discussion of bizarre marketing strategies like "Mr. Cig," a cigarette mascot who distributed free cigarettes in hospital respiratory wards
