3. It's unreal how much it was promoted

I'm a big fan of watching episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Boris Karloff's Thriller late at night. Most of the episodes are from 1959 to 62. I was just telling my husband how unbelievable it was that almost every character smoked in these episodes. From moms sitting at the breakfast tables with the kids to grandmas. Everyone lights up. Of course with the Hitchcock episodes it's also not uncommon to see a man smack a woman if she's being "hysterical."

We sure have come a long way.
