Sounds like a good idea, but I doubt it would ever happen. Too many anti-Tobacco folks out there. You can have sex, murder, violence, drug use, etc. on screen, but anything thought to promote Tobacco would be a no no. I remember years ago, seeing Marlboro and Joe Camel Commercials. Also remember the Kodiak Bear commercials. Not anymore.... Also, remember several cartoon classics? Popeye for one, smoked a pipe. Remember a few episodes where Bugs Bunny had a Pipe or Cigar, Tom and Jerry, etc.......you never see that stuff anymore. The country is over run by anti this and that liberals. I'd love to watch a show like that, but don't see it happening.

The idea of tobacco based show getting on TV sounds so remote, I hadn't even considered that something like this would actually be televised. still a cool idea though. It could still be done without televised sponsorship.

Tobacco is such a huge part of American history...it's just sad to see the way people are just flushing it.
