    Tobacco Advertising 2007

    A question born out of my dislike for the Marlboro "barcode", What is the specific regulation regarding Tobacco advertising for teams (ie helmets, cars, suits etc) and circuits for this year?

    Same as it was last year as far as I know, in that there are still countries that allow tobbacco advertising and those teams with tobbacco company sponsorship will display accordingly.

    I think it's banned in all of Europe now, not just some countries.

    I think it's banned in Australia now too, although I could be wrong.

    No, it was actually for-real banned by the F1 authorities at the end of last season (ergo BAR selling up in preparation for shipping out). Don't know the exact wording though.

    So there will be NO tobacco liveries at all this year?
    It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

    I'm pretty sure that's right. I think it was decided by governments that they didn't want tobacco sponsors getting around the TV advertising ban by sponsoring sports, and as all sports other than F1 and darts already had a ban in place, one was imposed.
    Possibly the FIA could overrule this, but I guess that would mean that the Ferraris wouldn't be able to be broadcast in Europe. And seeing as they're championship favourites...

    that bul-**** there are alcohol sponsorships allowed and alcohol kills people as well, even water can kill you. I've seen the Marlboro/Winston/555/lucky strike sponsorships and never thought to my self, I better buy that product, I don't smoke but I don't get offended when a tobacco sponsorship is out their, I'm more pisted off at those sex drugs

    Ah yes, who can ever forget the stiff competition Mark Martin put up in his Viagra sponsored NASCAR.

    But didn't anyone notice that Kimi and Massa had Marboro logos on the uniforms?
    What's up with that he wonders...

    I guess it depends where they were when the pics were taken. Toboacco logos are not permitted on cars or drivers' clothing when competing in a country that has anti-tobacco sponsorship laws.
