Abstract

Most forms of tobacco advertising have been banned in
Australia since the enactment of the Tobacco Advertising
Prohibition Act 1992. The tobacco industry has often
sought to undermine the intent of the Act. This article
describes a number of non-traditional promotional
strategies adopted by the tobacco industry, to target the
young in recent years, and suggests possible responses to
counter these strategies.
