This story was posted yesterday, but it is about an incident that happened in 2007. Getting in trouble for using cartoon ads on their cigarettes..by the attorney generals of 9 states. Judge ruled it was a violation. Glad to know they can get hit..for advertising. Now just to work on that small other thing that causes people to die.

Camel ads coupled with illustrations promoting rock music in Rolling Stone magazine in 2007 violated the tobacco industry's decade-old promise not to use cartoons to sell cigarettes to minors, a Philadelphia judge ruled Wednesday.
Attorneys general in nine states had sued over the ad in Rolling Stone's November 2007 edition. The nine-page advertising section combined pages of Camel cigarette ads with pages of magazine-produced illustrations on the theme of independent rock music.
