Laramie was a brand of cigarettes extant in the United States from the 1930s into the 1950s. Later, the name was used for a cigarette rolling kit.

In the show, they sponsor a child beauty pageant and have a corporate mascot named Menthol Moose, who can be seen at parades in Springfield.

In the 23rd episode of the 2nd season of The X-Files , Laramie Tobacco is mentioned as a missing person's former workplace. Laramie was also the brand name used for cigarettes in the 1999 classic sci-fi horror game System Shock 2 , but the packaging design resembled that of Marlboro ; very similar to Morley (cigarette) from the tv show The X-Files .
Dr. Dana Katherine Scully, MD, is a fictional character and one of the two protagonists in the Fox science-fiction, supernatural television series The X-Files, played by Gillian Anderson. Scully is a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent and a medical doctor (MD), partnered with fellow Special Agent Fox Mulder for seasons one to seven and seasons 10 and 11, and with John Doggett in the eighth and ninth seasons. In the television series, they work out of a cramped basement office at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC to investigate unsolved cases labeled "X-Files." In 2002, Scully left government employment, and in 2008, she began working as a surgeon in Our Lady of Sorrows, a private Catholic hospital – where she stayed for seven years, until rejoining the FBI. In contrast to Mulder's credulous "believer" character, Scully is the skeptic for the first seven seasons, choosing to base her beliefs on what science can prove. She later on becomes a "believer" after Mulder's abduction at the end of season seven.
