Critics claim that cigarette manufacturers create ads that target children and make potentially dangerous or addictive products seem appealing. The ongoing clash between the industry and the federal government resulted in the 1988 Master Settlement Agreement. This legislation requires manufacturers to take down advertising from billboards and sports arenas and to stop using cartoon characters to sell cigarettes. The tobacco companies also agreed to not market or promote their products to young people. The strict regulatory environment is a far cry from the heyday of the tobacco advertising of past decades.
