  1. Hanna Marlboro says

    Well, to answer the tweet, “cigarette ads are banned to protect children” is a mistaken presumption. Cigarette advertising is prohibited from appearing in media appealing to children, and there are certainly laws prohibiting specific depictions (e.g., Marlboro could not depict a child cowboy or cowgirl). But Big Tobacco is certainly continuing to lure children via indirect advertising tactics (product placement in movies, etc.). Additionally, Big Tobacco knows the Number 1 influencer for smoking children is smoking parents. So all they have to do is continue hooking parents in order to hook children. Also, don’t blame Hanna Montana—the advertising industry ultimately created her.
