> When was the last time you saw an ad for cigarettes? Today at the gas station on the outside of the pump and the store door.

  I was at a gas station today that sells tobacco. No ads. Its because even displaying tobacco products, let alone advertising them, is not allowed in that jurisdiction. I'll bet you didn't see any cartoon camels or doctors recomending a brand though, because even where tobacco ads are legal, many tobacco ads are no longer legal. Whether you see ads, and what kind of ads you see is highly regulated. That's the whole point,

      Sorry for the ninja edit about jurisdictions. I live in a different country since we don't have states here.
