Nielsen Media Research Spend Trend: Smoking/Anti-smoking products

Category spending plummets but stays with TV

The tobacco ad ban has decimated spending in this category over the past four years, leaving marketers of anti-smoking products alone on the field. TV has grabbed 44.6% to 89.3% of the spending but the amount of dollars from 2002 to 2004 is but a mere fraction of its previous glory.
