Cigarette Advertising Code
Following the 1964 report the Tobacco Industry announced they would adopt the Cigarette Advertising Code minimizing the FTC's influence on ad restrictions.
The code proposed by the Industry banned advertising and marketing directed mainly at those under 21 years old, and ended advertising and promotion in school and college publications.
No violations or fines were ever levied.

"the tobacco industry may be thought of as being a specialized, highly ritualized and stylized segment of the pharmaceutical industry."
“Tobacco products, uniquely, contain and deliver nicotine, a potent drug with a variety of physiological effects.
“.. . Happily for the tobacco industry, nicotine is both habituating and unique in its variety of physiological actions, hence no other active material or combination of materials provides equivalent 'satisfaction..'"

Although more people talk about 'taste,' it is likely that greater numbers smoke for the narcotic value that comes from the nicotine."

“ The cigarette should be conceived not as a product but as a package. The product is nicotine. The cigarette is but one of many package layers. There's the carton, which contains the pack, which contains the cigarette, which contains the smoke. The smoke is the final package. The smoker must strip off all these package layers to get to that which he seeks."
