This is one of the last serious Smoke-Ins they were able to pull as the Just Say No\u2122 rhetoric was just starting to take hold, and a generation of high-school and college kids decided they all wanted to be Gordon Gecko and Timothy Geithner when they grew up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-108\" title=\"reagan1981smokein650w\" src=\"http:\/\/sinkers.org\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/reagan1981smokein650w.jpg\" alt=\"reagan1981smokein650w\" width=\"650\" height=\"815\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sinkers.org\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/reagan1981smokein650w.jpg 650w, http:\/\/sinkers.org\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/reagan1981smokein650w-119x150.jpg 119w, http:\/\/sinkers.org\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/reagan1981smokein650w-398x500.jpg 398w, http:\/\/sinkers.org\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/reagan1981smokein650w-478x600.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This piece wound up as a color full-age ad for the 1981 White House Smoke-In appearing in High Times magazine.
