Long gone are the days of Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man. (The last television ad for a cigarette, incidentally, aired on January 1, 1971 at 11:59pm, right up to the second an advertising ban took effect.) The tobacco industry faces strict regulation, but the market for E-cigarettesis still an unregulated, wild, wild west with endorsements ranging from Playboy Playmates to Stephen Dorff.
