Thats fucked up. People can advertise for a fraudulent site that charges poeple $200 to see a 3 min video clip but you cant sell tobacco.

I find that slightly funny.

Is it even legal to sell smokes on the net?

Do you sell tobacco?

Yep, we ran into this last year. We were doing HUGE sales daily and thought addin this to our campaign would be a big boost. Spent hours coming up with some good campaigns, paid in advance in full, then got the denial e-mail a couple of days later. And to add to the ass raping, no refund on the account.

Tried to bitch about the fact that everyone else was using AdWords, but never got more than a canned response back.
