When we were flag marshalling at Warwick Farm film crews would often join us on our flag point...

And they would ask us to take a puff on a smoke as they filmed us, giving them some subliminal grabs to mix the 'glamour' of smoking in with the racing.

I never smoked either. When formal cigarette advertising was banned, country after country, putting their names on racing cars was a good way keep their names before the public. And they had lots of money to do this...

...and buy genuine less harmful businesses. Like Coca Cola Bottlers Australia, Nabisco, Miller Brewing, Kraft Foods, General Foods, Zurich Insurance and so on.
