The tobacco companies, both individually and through their trade group the Tobacco Institute as well as other industry-related organizations, have run a substantial number of editorial ads through the years, also known as "advertorials." These ads are aimed at influencing how people think about tobacco issues and tobacco companies themselves. Many of them can be found in the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library by searching on terms like "editorial advertisement" (just like that, in quotes) or "advertorial" (without quotes).
