In 1970, in the US, President Nixon signed the law that placed warning labels on cigarettes and banned television advertisements for cigarettes. The last date that cigarette ads were permitted on TV was extended by a day, from December 31, 1970 to January 1, 1971 to allow the television networks one last cash windfall from cigarette advertising in the New Year’s Day football games.
U.S. cigarette manufacturers now make more money selling cigarettes to countries around the globe than they do selling to Americans.
It took almost 40 years for us to bring this law in India...
