But... If you look under the names of the major players in the tobacco industry +.com, you
will find that only Philip Morris has any presence, and that is related to legal issues, and

IMO There looks like a self imposed or US-only limit on web advertising/placement... or
maybe they are only waiting for the truly addictive app....
