    Criticism of health-oriented True advertising

    True's reduced-tar and reduced-nicotine advertising, together with messaging directed at people considering quitting, was criticized as deceptive because it could suggest that smoking True was a safer alternative to quitting. The supplied reference describes this as a misleading form of targeting rather than documenting a specific court judgment or settlement.
