As far as I know, the US bans all tobacco advertising on TV. And obviously adults can still smoke.

Radio and TV has long had more limited free speech protections because it’s a shared and thus finite resource. Thus the fines for curse words, nudity, etc.

Banning in magazines targeting kids is a separate question.
