IS this ok by todays standards

Technically, it wouldn't be right today, because cigarette makers are banned from advertising on TV.

It's also wrong anyway just on moral basis of trying to sell cigarettes to the target audience of kids younger than ten. But again, it was the sixties, and people didn't know any better.

I was waiting for someone to post this.

What's the big deal?

I'm more concerned about the discrimination against women portrayed in this commercial than the smoking. Pssh.

Actually, the Flinstones were the Simpsons of the 60s. They had a Prime Time slot and believe it or not, this is marketed towards adults.
