Kate Sikora reports that Facebook groups and Fan pages are being used to redirect young people to cigarette makers' own websites.
Cancer Council Australia has called on the Federal Government to intervene and ensure the sites are pulled down.
Marlboro has 5058 followers on Facebook while Benson and Hedges also uses the social
networking site.
"One of the most innovative marketing strategies was by the Camel brand, which engaged the online community to help design a new packet."
It seems to me a fine line between public health concerns on the one side and personal and corporate freedom.
