Both seem like utterly irrelevant fine print to me (in the general case), which would point at a similar or related underlying reason, whatever it is. Just pointing out that this cigarette advertising disclaimer is hardly the only disclaimer you may see at the end of a film which has little to no ostensible relevance to the film it proceeds. | |

| Jan 19, 2017 at 18:14 | comment | added | Pavel Janicek | @HopelessN00b that was kinda "self-explanatory" to me. But disclaimer about tobacco products at the end of movie where I do not even remember someone was smoking was quite surprising to me | |

The credits for Doctor Strange end with a disclaimer saying that texting and driving is dangerous and potentially fatal. I figured that would be obvious enough from what happened to him in the film, but maybe they wanted to make sure nobody thought you would get superpowers if you got in a car accident due to this? | |
