Additional Comments: This classic comedy from the 1970's lived up to its "Smokey" title! Every major character smoked, including Smokey (Jackie Gleason), The Bandit (Burt Reynolds), The Snowman (Jerry Reed), and The Frog (Sally Field). Even the guys who placed the bet (Pat McCormick and Paul Williams) were seen smoking in their scenes. Despite all the smoking, the Bandit at least acknowledged that tobacco use was bad!
