Executional AreaBackground
As a result of the advertising concept test carried out in June this year, the most positive element of our communication is "America". America is a bit of a dream, it is a country appealing to our target audience providing that we use a simple and clear way to communicate this. The lifestyle of young Americans will also attract our potential consumers providing that the people featured are simple, and aspirational to Africans through their manner of dress and leisure activities. On top of that, America is synonymous with good quality products.

Tobacco Advertising: Industry Perspective
“The cigarette industry has been artfully maintaining that cigarette advertising has nothing to do with total sales. This is complete and utter nonsense. The industry knows it is nonsense. I am always amused by the suggestion that advertising, a function that has been shown to increase consumption of virtually every other product, somehow miraculously fails to work for tobacco products.”
— Emerson Foote (1981)Former CEO of McCann-Erickson
(A global advertising agency which has handled millions of
dollars in tobacco industry accounts)

Evidence: Tobacco Advertising Works
Vast majority of peer-reviewed studies conclude that tobacco advertising leads to an increase in tobacco consumption

Evidence: Advertising Bans Work
Study of four countries that instituted advertising bans as part of comprehensive tobacco control policy (Finland, France, New Zealand, and Norway): Per capita consumption of cigarettes dropped
14–37% after implementation of the ban Smoking prevalence among young people declined
in three of the four countries, and it remained stable in the fourth

Advertising Bans Work
The World Health Organization and World Bank both recommend that countries prohibit all forms of tobacco advertising and promotion
It is estimated that, if adopted globally, such bans could reduce worldwide demand for tobacco products by ~7%

Tobacco Industry Arguments Against Advertising Bans
“Advertising firms and the media will lose money; it will hurt the economy” Hong Kong: tobacco advertising ban in 1990
Two main television stations’ advertising revenue up by 500% by 1996
Thailand: total advertising ban in 1992 Advertising spending up 42% between 1993
and 1995

Tobacco Industry Arguments Against Advertising Bans
“If tobacco is legal to sell, it should be legal to advertise; it’s a matter of freedom of speech” Many governments have imposed advertising
restrictions on other legal products For example, alcohol and pharmaceuticals

Partial Advertising Bans
Partial advertising bans have been compared to squeezing a balloon Banning one form of tobacco
advertising will lead to an increase in another form of advertising
29 2007 Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Partial Advertising Bans: United States
After the Master Settlement Agreement and 1999 ban on tobacco billboard advertising (U.S.), tobacco advertising expenditures increased $1.5 billion (21% increase) Sudden increase in point-of-purchase tobacco
marketing* 80% of stores had interior tobacco advertising
(up 5%) 73% of stores had branded functional objects (up
10%) 52% of stores had tobacco promotions (up 20%—
including a 124% increase in gift-with-purchase promotions and 25% in rebate promotions)
Tobacco advertising in magazines with high youth readership (>15%) increased 33%†
By 2003, advertising expenditures had doubled from 1998 (~$7 billion to $15.4 billion)*Source: Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids Press Release (2000).

Partial Bans: Ineffective
A 2000 study (102 countries) found that partial bans were ineffective in reducing tobacco consumption Per capita cigarette consumption in countries
with comprehensive bans declined ~8% In other countries, decline was only 1%

Industry “Scream” Test
The tobacco industry’s reaction to proposed tobacco control measures
33 2007 Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Industry “Scream” Test: FCTC Provisions on Advertising
“Along with PM USA, PMI supported the process that led to the adoption of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the first international treaty to set a global agenda for the regulation of tobacco products. While there are some provisions within the Framework Convention that, in our opinion, do not represent sensible and effective regulatory measures, there are many that are appropriate and useful.”
— Altria CEO Louis Camilleri (2004)

FCTC Article 13: Advertising, Promotion & Sponsorship
FCTC requires all parties to implement total ban on tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship within five years of ratifying the treaty

Ad Bans vs. Other Measures
Philip Morris: Project Rainbow Strategy for “balancing” pro-health
legislation with pro-tobacco concessions Conceived by company lawyers in 1990–1991 in
wake of major case in United States Idea: pass federal legislation that would give
the tobacco industry immunity from future personal injury lawsuits—in exchange for major advertising restrictions, even a total ban
46 2007 Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Philip Morris: Project Rainbow
“Clearly, if we felt it was inevitable that Congress is likely to pass an ad ban or other major restrictions on advertising in the future, then it would make sense to seek a legislative compromise now while we still have bargaining power and leverage . . .”
— Philip Morris (1991)

“To reduce the level of criticism directed toward Philip Morris and the rest of the industry . . . The elimination or severe restriction of cigarette advertising would diminish one of the principal focal points of our antagonists’ criticism. This could lead to a diminution of the attacks against us and of the level of hostile rhetoric . . .”

Summary
Direct and indirect tobacco advertising, promotions, and sponsorship are the vehicle for spreading the global tobacco pandemic
Partial tobacco advertising bans don’t work; tobacco advertising bans need to be comprehensive to be effective
When developing such bans, need to avoid loopholes that the industry will exploit
Expect the tobacco industry to fight—directly or indirectly—for the weakest implementation of the tobacco advertising ban component of the FCTC; conversely, public health advocates need to fight for the strongest implementation possible
51 2007 Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Summary
To maximize their effectiveness, tobacco advertising bans should be implemented along with other evidence-based measures—not in exchange for concessions to the tobacco industry
An advertising ban in the law is worthless—unless it is enforced
With the rapid evolution, expansion, and cross-development of global communication technologies, continued monitoring of new and innovative tobacco industry methods for circumventing tobacco advertising bans is needed—as well as international cooperation to tackle the problem
