3) the tobacco industries are not allowed to advertize cigerets, although they somehow are allowed to advertize against the anti cigeret things with there "stop the nanny state" adds, which I think is a way of advertizing cigerets and shouldn't be allowed
They're not trying to advertise cigarettes, they are campaigning against the government trying to enforce plain packaging. The government can't ban opposition to it's proposals; to do such would be undemocratic and a massive violation of freedom of expression.

I personally am not sure what I find more disgusting, the current images of cut-up organs on cigarette packets or that horrid shade of vomit-green.
