Internet Tobacco Advertising Restricted in Australia

Australia will move on Wednesday to restrict internet tobacco advertising, preventing retailers from promoting cheap or tax free Sobranie cigarettes, as part of a campaign to cut smoking rates by 10 percent by 2018.

Young Australians, aged 24-29, currently have the highest rate of smoking among Australians, who currently have a nearly 20 percent rate of smoking overall.
