Apparently there’s a whole glitch in the matrix deal around this, because other people remember seeing them too (I saw a post on reddit) and I wasn’t born much before the 90s. I definitely remember Virginia slim commercials like back to back with RC cola ads during the daytime. I wonder if it was maybe from recorded vhs tapes or something because I can legit picture seeing these ads on tv in my childhood home.
It’s the only reasonable explanation I can come up with. The weird part is (it must just be tied to when I saw them?) they were decidedly in like a late 80s early 90s style. I’m mystified.
Oh bless your heart. We had cigarette commercials into the 90s.
Talking radio? I dunno, I don’t remember them and according the the magic box in my hand legislation banning them passed in the 70s. I’m no expert.

Is that a radio jingle?
Oh sorry I was clicking through before I saw your comment, I must have clicked off the Winston one when I copied the link https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7zw3ss

I share your recollection, and I’m thinking VHS recordings may be the explanation.

I made the original comment.
I picked ‘cigarette commercials’ because that seemed like the most obnoxious thing a kid could sing.
Wasn’t expecting to get people focused on that.
Who knew?
Interesting
