On New Year’s night, 1971, millions of Americans were tuned in to NBC to watch the Tonight
Show with Johnny Carson. At 11: 59 Johnny went to a commercial break, something he had done thousands of
times since he took over the Tonight Show in 1962. But there was something special about this break, a 1
minute commercial for Virginia Slims cigarettes. Cigarette commercials had been a mainstay of advertising
in the first 25 years of television. But this commercial was different. It was the last cigarette
commercial broadcast nationally in the United States. One minute later at midnight on January 2, 1971, The
“Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act” went into effect. This law banned the advertising of cigarettes and
tobacco product on television and radio. Here are some memorable cigarette jingles.
