\"SI<\/p>\n

A few months ago, I chastised Sports Illustrated for printing a bunch of photos of some Spanish golfer <\/a>smoking cigars (I don’t do golf, hell if I remember the guy’s name, but he’s apparently a big character on the Senior PGA Tour).<\/p>\n

SI Golf pushed it even further this month, with a photo of a couple of golfing equipment builders\u00a0smoking on its cover. Jesus Christ, who still puts smoking photos on their magazine covers? I get it that it’s cigars, not cigarettes, but you can’t even smoke a cigar anymore in a Marvel movie (true!).<\/p>\n

SI, a magazine that is read by a lot of teens and young adults, also takes a lot of advertising for cigarettes<\/a>, chewing tobacco and e-cigarettes. They also will take ads for the COPD Foundation and the lung cancer awareness.<\/a> I really think SI is one of the worst magazines I’ve seen out there for continuing to promote tobacco products and for giving Big Tobacco a venue for its advertising.<\/p>\n

\"Si
Seriously … both of these ads were in a Sports Illustrated magazine about 20 pages apart a year or two ago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have no problem with tobacco ads in adult magazines like Playboy or Penthouse, but SI is read by all ages. And most magazines for all ages have stopped taking tobacco ads (In fact, I helped convince Discover magazine to stop taking American Spirit ads … God’s honest truth.).<\/p>\n

This has been for some time been a burr up my butt, but actually putting smoking on their cover really ticks me off. You guys need to guy a clue. Seriously. Knock it off with the promoting smoking and promoting tobacco products, you shills.<\/p>\n
