They never even figured out why the Joe Camel and the Marlboro man were on Mars... further proof that Futurama is just too damn smart to be on TV (unfortunately for us):

'PHLEMMY' AWARDS ANNOUNCED
Two Emmy-nominated shows -- "Friends" and "24" -- have been honored by the American Lung Association of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails with the Pink Lung Award at the annual Phlemmy Awards, presented to TV shows based on how they present tobacco use.
About 50 teens and young adults from the Sacramento area reviewed prime time network shows to evaluate their handling of tobacco-related issues. Shows that portrayed smoking as bad, or didn't feature smoking at all, get the Pink Lung Award, while those that show smoking in a positive light get the Phlemmy Award.
"The Bernie Mac Show," in which star Bernie Mac is often seen with a cigar, got a Phlemmy this year. So did the Emmy-winning animated comedy "Futurama," which pictured Marlboro and Camel brand cigarettes.
The long-running Emmy-winning drama "ER" received a "Dishonorable Mention" for showing medical professionals smoking to relieve the stress of their jobs and personal lives.
Overall, the American Lung Association reported that tobacco use on TV was down significantly during the 2001-02 TV season compared to the previous season -- from an average of 4 incidents of smoking per hour to 2.6 incidents per hour.
