(KSL News) -- A new ad campaign questions not only what people wore in the 60's and 70's, but where smokers were allowed to light up.
The Utah Department of Health's Tobacco Prevention and Control Program unveiled the new television commercials. Health officials say they highlight public places where smoking was once allowed -- on airplanes, in doctor's offices and even restaurants.
Lena Dibble, Tobacco Prevention and Control Program: "It seems so crazy now that smoking was allowed in all of these places. We believe that we will look back in a few years and think, what were we thinking?"
Program organizers say recent changes to Utah's Clean Air Act will help the state become the 12th in the US to be "smoke free" by 2009.
