Cigarette advertising

Cigarette advertising refers to promotional efforts by tobacco companies to promote smoking products through various media channels. Historically, these ads targeted specific audiences, emphasizing themes like sophistication, independence, and appeal to youth. Due to health risks and societal concerns, many countries have placed strict regulations on such advertising, limiting or banning its promotion to reduce tobacco consumption and protect public health. Despite these restrictions, cigarette advertising has played a significant role in influencing perceptions and smoking behaviors over decades.
