Contents

First introduced in 1966, the brand was discontinued in 2006.

Advertising

Brown & Williamson made various magazine and print adverts to promote the Barclay brand since its launch in 1980. The ads showed a man in a tuxedo suit with a Barclay cigarette in his mouth with the slogan "The pleasure is back" underneath. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The slogan "99% tar free" was also present, but eventually had to be removed as the FTC determined it to be inaccurate. This was because when the cigarette was smoked by a person the result was different from the FTC's testing equipment. [8]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Regulation of nicotine marketing</span> Regulations regarding the advertising of nicotine-containing products

As nicotine is highly addictive, marketing nicotine-containing products is regulated in most jurisdictions. Regulations include bans and regulation of certain types of advertising, and requirements for counter-advertising of facts generally not included in ads. Regulation is circumvented using less-regulated media, such as Facebook, less-regulated nicotine delivery products, such as e-cigarettes, and less-regulated ad types, such as industry ads which claim to discourage nicotine addiction but seem, according to independent studies, to promote teen nicotine use.
