For good reasons tobacco ads have been banned from media channels, we are all familiar with smoking effects on health. No matter how creative these ads would be the smoking risks remain, it's our choice whether we quit smoking or go with the ads.

Yeah, best thing they did to throw it out from formula one.

One sneaky ad in my country is Hello from Rovinj (like Smoking factory says hello, but it says city name instead of Company name, but everyone knows that this town use tobacco.)

There are so many sneaky/subliminal/clever/catchy cigarette ad stories out there. You could just go on and on.

Don't want to give them too much press, but I just can't help but be intrigued. :)

I wonder what kind of research they put behind this subliminal advertising. Its scary to think how much we might be affected by it without knowing. I'm sure with their vast financial resources, they are benefitting greatly from their sly advertisements.

That Benson and Hedges sneaky-ness bit is amazing! I'd never heard about that!

This post is a great resource Andrew.
