tobacco advertising

Tobacco advertising refers to the promotion of tobacco products like cigarettes through various channels such as TV, print, online media, and sponsorships. Its goal is to attract new users and encourage current smokers to continue. Because tobacco use is linked to serious health risks, many countries have implemented strict regulations or bans on such advertising to reduce consumption and protect public health. Despite these restrictions, tobacco companies have historically used marketing strategies to target specific demographic groups, making the advertising industry a significant aspect of the ongoing debate about health and advertising ethics.
