Ads for cigarettes have been banned in Europe for a long time, thats why there is zero tobacco in Formula 1. In Denmark its now illegal to show the tobacco in the store, it has to be hidden

True in the UK too. Cigarette adverts were banned forever ago. Then they stopped displaying them in the store. Now, if I'm not mistaken (I don't smoke), they don't even display branding on the packets - the packets have a very plain, uniform design with no flashy colours or logos.
