I think maybe it's because of the cigarette in the hand in the original, advertising of cigs in the USA was outlawed the year before this was released.

God forbids one of you enjoys a cigarette while you all get progressively obese. That would be an affront to Public Health.

That's interesting that they outright banned the cover. In Canada they would just put wrapping around it.

I'm Mexican and in Mexico they didn't do shit like airbrush cigarettes out of cartoon character's mouths (like with Bulma's father you know?). We eveb had tobacco brands advertising on TV until the late 90s.
