I think that's odious.) If you looked carefully at the magazines, they probably said something like "European Edition", and had the price stated in a dozen different currencies. These editions have \different/ ads in them, not just slightly \altered/ ads. They don't print different versions for the cigarette companies, they do it so their advertisers in general can target their campaigns a little more selectively. Btw: In some countries (e.g. Norway) cigarette (and alcohol) advertising is normally forbidden, but foreign magazines is one of the exceptions. --Per
