I would go for no advertisement on any kind of cigarette. I think we need to make the packaging and objects themselves as unattractive as possible. I'm happy that cigarette packages now have to contain health warnings and hope this trend continues.
We should also put more emphasis on how disgusting it is to the people around you. How unattractive it is. This might make more of an impression on kids.

Thanks for this reply @playfulfoodie ;) Soon in my country packets will all of the same color without distinctive mark but always with health warnings. Now they are disgusting pictures on the both sides of the packet showing lungs and heart in poor condition or during surgical intervention.
I can only applaud that. I really hate cigarette smoke. It's disgusting and it just seems so unfair to me. I care about my health, so I take good care of myself. Then someone comes along to stand next to me and blows their smoke into my face.
Living healthy is a personal choice, so is living unhealthy. I don't appreciate people choosing for me.
"The freedom of some stops where others begin." Unfortunately smoke does not know this adage (and many people either)
I don't support this. i believe this is ban in my country but cigarettes are allowed. Perhaps too much revenue for the government at stake.
Yes, I do think you're right about the revenue for the government.
