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.
