Joe Camel Campaign
The Joe Camel character came under fire in the late 1990s as an example of harmful advertising targeted to the young. In 1998 the tobacco industry and the attorneys general of 46 states agreed to ban the use of cartoon characters in tobacco advertising, a practice that many thought had encouraged young people to start smoking.
