the Professor & MaryAnn & a Cigarette butt...here on Gilligan's Island!!
Yes, on Season Two, disc 1, episode 2 (the beauty paegant), when Gilligan is walking through the jungle, a pole is stuck out to trip him, and he falls in the sand. By his left hand was a cigarette butt - - as Mr. Howell would say, "that's preposterous!"

sorry, I'm computer-retarded in that regard. But buy the box set - you won't be disappointed (I'm not a salesman).
Mayhaps, someone from this wonderful forum knows how who has the boxset...
In the meantime, I'm going to be looking for more gaffes...

The cigarette was put there by the same people that would later perpetrate the moon landing hoax.

No, I don't think any of the castaways smoked (whether their counter-parts did - the actors - I know not, but Alan Hale, Jr looked like a smoker to me), but several of the "guest castaways" did smoke (like Ga-Ga Gabor and one of the dictators, I believe).
The show was aimed at children and families, and Sherwood Schwartz would never have showed the seven castaways doing anything amoral - including smoking.

The Flintstones, Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, etc would all be banned if any of the main characters smoked cigarettes (or anything else, for that matter). Heck, did the Bradys even drink wine - I think not.
As for Gilligan's Island, Mr. Howell sometimes had some "hooch" hidden away for a "special occasion" (which seemed to translate into every "other" episode).

There had to be a toilet in that bathroom between the kids rooms. Did they just squat in the shower? "Guys, don't come in here, I'm pinching a loaf and have to let the shower run awhile to wash it down the drain."
