Big Tobacco's retreat from motorsports advertising in the US came via numerous settlements. For example, pages 7 and 10 of the Smokeless Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement, which absolutely banned the United States Tobacco Company from

Sponsorship of a single national or multi-state series or tour (for example, NASCAR (including any number of NASCAR races))

Some small tobacco manufacturers were not party to the settlements. For them, the FDA did finally institute a complete ban in 2010. But by then, the war had long been won, through settlement.

Chilcoot, earlier you said "No one "band" tobacco sponsorships, the companies agreed to stop." and in your latest post you mention the United States Tobacco Company being absolutely banned from NASCAR and in 2010 the FDA finally instituting a complete ban. In February of 2013 I stated "I think tobacco companies are banned Chilcoot." Was I wrong?

The big companies all agreed not to sponsor NASCAR. They agreed, through settlement. They were not compelled by fiat, as the initial post claimed.

I hoped couching it in terms you could understand, such as they agreed to a settlement that imposed a ban, would help you understand. I think I was too generous.
