False Images, Deadly Promises : Smoking and the Media

by Ann Malaspina

Overview

Though it's illegal to advertise tobacco products on television and Big Tobacco no longer sponsors major sporting events, it doesn't mean that cigarettes have been relegated to the back pages of little-read magazines. Quite the contrary. Though they might not be advertised-at least in the traditional meaning of the word-cigarettes continue to hold a prominent place in the media.
