Yeah exactly. They are saying since tobacco was a major sponser of this one event, they are pulling it which is crap. They'll get other sponsors.
We've had a ban on most forms of tobacco advertising for some time, but sporting events kept getting exceptions. Banning smoking in public and such has been an uphill battle due to how much money tobacco can throw around.
