Several studies found that the leading cigarette and smokeless tobacco brands all increased their advertising in youth-oriented magazines, such as Sports Illustrated and Rolling Stone, after the November 1998 state tobacco settlement and that this advertising was reaching most youth at saturation levels of exposure. In June 2002, a California judge fined R.J. Reynolds $20 million for continuing to advertise in youth-oriented magazines after the settlement. While other tobacco companies have stopped or reduced advertising in youth-oriented magazines, they did so only under threat of legal action by the state attorneys general.
