Timeline of UK ban
We have a timeline for the implementation of the 2002 act. It would be nice to find some more information about what was banned when prior to that act.

I remember reading in my secondary school days (early-mid 1990s) that cigarette advertising is allowed on billboards, newspapers and magazines, but not in cinemas, radio or television. Though I did hear a cigar advert on the radio since that time.

Moreover, I never found out whether it was allowed on the Internet (at least UK-based websites) during that time. Was there ever a specific ban on this, or was that just part of the general advertising ban in 2003? — Smjg (talk) 15:44, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Australia & cigar ads on TV
I"m not old enough to ever remember seeing a cigarette ad, but I certainly do remember seeing cigar ads, and thinking how odd it was that cigar ads were allowed on tv but not cigarettes. Does anyone else remember this and know how it was that cigars could be advertised after cigarettes were banned on tv - a loophole of some sort?

I tried to search for info about it, but it's difficult to search for 'cigar' and not get 'cigarette' results. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.174.215.84 (talk) 01:09, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
