Alesi 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2008 I'm doing a research paper on this. I know that Philip Morris has a deal with Ferrari to advertise Marlboro for a few more years, however PM does not run the logos anymore even in countries where tobacco advertising is legal, Bahrain, Monaco and China. Can any of you Americans tell me what is still legal in the US? I think I saw the Marlboro logo when I watched the Indy 500 and I have seen the Newport and KOOL brands advertised in American magazines recently, but I've been told it is illegal now?? What is still left in Moto GP for anyone who watches it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AutoRacer5 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2008 It's not legal I think in the US anymore. Penske had to take Marlboro off of his cars after 2006, so I'm not sure if there's any tobacco advertising still in the US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabradoRacer 2 Report post Posted June 26, 2008 Can't help with the questions, but I got a question of my own. Why doesn't any country ban manufacture of cigarettes since it kills? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oli 1 Report post Posted June 26, 2008 I know as of a month ago it was still legal to advertise tobacco in magazines (last month's "Wired" had a cig advert in it). Fairly sure on TV it's now banned (which I think is a bunch of crap, but that's another story). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On 2nd thoughts, it's better that it's not banned...at least in India. It's good that cigarettes try to keep the population down in 2 ways. One is death & the other is impotence.

Actually, the fact that you can have somebody smoking in a programme sort of makes a mockery of banning the advertisement of it, I guess. I do miss those Hamlet adverts.................
