There is a very brief scene in 1972's Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, the fourth installment of the original five feature film franchise, where an unidentified woman is shown seated at a table in an outdoor plaza talking to a companion while smoking a cigarette. Set in the distant future on the cusp of the ape uprising and revolution, and intended to show one little example of how corrupt and decadent humanity had become, she complains in reference to her presumably "harm eliminated" futuristic cigarettes: "Funny, now that I know these things won't kill me, I don't enjoy them."
