As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I believe that tobacco advertising
does not cause people to smoke. It is merely a method of making people
aware of the brands on the market. Since there are already tight
advertising restrictions of tobacco companies, they have to get involved
in sponsorship, which can be expensive, but they have no choice if they
want people to buy their brand.
