The ads showing her smoking a cigarette emblazoned the newspapers and billboards all over the country. Quit, an anti-smoking group has requested the Government seeking the ads removal complaining that they could breach the Tobacco Advertising Prohibition Act. Executive director of Quit, Todd Harper said that the tour ad could be mistaken as that of a smoking product, which is illegal. Action on Smoking and Health director John Banzhaf has also slammed the 'Irreplaceable' singer telling American publication Us Weekly, 'The objection is to the association of glamour and sexiness with smoking. I hope Beyonce realises it's wrong and condemns it.' According to website Smoking Sides, Beyonce has been seen smoking in nightclubs.
