According to the Federal Trade Commission Report to Congress for 1997 Pursuant to the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act, tobacco companies in the United States spent a total of $5.66 billion on advertising, promotion, and sampling in 1997.Tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and chewing tobacco, are associated with many types of illnesses. Cigarette smoking has been connected to lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema; the use of cigars to cancers of the mouth and throat; and the use of snuff and chewing tobacco to lesions and cancers of the mouth and lips. It is also dangerous for nonsmokers to breathe secondhand smoke and sidestream smoke from cigarettes. Secondhand smoke has been associated with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Mothers who smoke during pregnancy tend to have babies of lower birth weight.
In spite of these known risks, advertising tobacco products is still allowed in the United States and many other countries, albeit with some restrictions. For example, in the United States tobacco advertisements may not appear on radio or television, although they are allowed in newspapers and magazines intended for adult readers. Many countries require warning labels on tobacco products. Some countries require similar warning labels on the tobacco advertisements themselves. Other types of advertising restrictions may dictate the content of tobacco advertising. Most jurisdictions in the United States now forbid the use of cartoon characters in tobacco ads, a result of the mid-1990s Joe Camel campaign for R.J. Reynolds, which featured a "cool" cartoon camel that appealed to children.
