little_girl_lost Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 We all know that the anti-smoking commercials are paid for by tobacco companies and used as a secret way to advertise, but the new ads are over the top advertising FOR cigarettes. The ads feature a woman talking about there being 10x more tobacco signage/ads in low income areas and another one she says tobacco companies target black people, she's doing so from a bodega in front of the signs showing specific brand names. On certain channels the signs are blurred out, but most channels show all the tobacco brands. And these ads are clearly paid for by RJ Reynolds, cuz it's their brands being featured (camel, kool, newports, and others). This is smack-you-in-the-face tobacco advertising.
