I believe folks were already realizing the hazards of smoking tobacco back when Mayberry first appeared so the writers may have been trying to discourage this in the scripts. I believe Andy was only pictured smoking a couple times. Since virtually no one smokes these days, it's more noticeable in old shows and films. And I remember non-smokers lighting my cigarettes as a gentlemanly gesture way back then when I indulged too (decades ago). Aunt Bee of Orlando
