A motto "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should!" proven to exist as catchy, & is however quoted now.

Fallowing 1972, most tobacco advertising was liquidate magazines and on hoarding. Since a introduction of the Federal Cigarette Labelling and Advertising Act all packaging and advert must display a health warning from either the Surgeon General.
