New restrictions on marketing will demand dumbed-down, black and white advertisements. Because, as adults, we simply can't handle full color advertisements

Didn't they already put in restrictions against "cartoonish" figures in tobacco ads and no glossy paper years ago against cigarette companies?

Never understood how Joe "Nutsack" Camel was a "cartoon character". What was the joke? What was the plot of any of those ads? They were just airbrushed illustrations.

To me, the whole thing would never pass a first amendment Constitutional challenge.

Teachers are pushing the indoctrination of kindergarteners into knowledge of homosexual relations (and teaching fifth graders about oral and anal sex) and yet the big bugaboo is "deadly tobacco" so much so that the WAY it is advertised is censored.

Down is up, wrong is right. The inmates run the asylum.
