NB, while tobacco ads are banned from TV, they are still everywhere on outdoor advertising, at least here in Germany. Actually, I went on a "street art tour" that turned out to be sponsored by a cigarette company, and they were handing out free cigarettes. So: tobacco advertising is alive and well in Germany.
Australia is very different from that. They banned advertising to consumers in most ways. They still can put ads in magazines for retailers (because they aren't the end user).
Now we also have "plain packaging laws" which means packets cannot have the Tobacco companies design on it. They must be olive green and have government anti-smoking ads, and the product name in plaintext.
