It's a moot point whether the FIA has or hasn't banned tobacco advertising as virtually every country has made tobacco advertising illegal, including showing racing cars with tobacco related logos. Mr E tried to circumvent the implementation of the ban in the UK by giving a £1 million bribe to the Labour Party in the UK when they came into power in 1997, but they were found out and were forced to return the money.
Advertising for E-cigs and vaping products are not currently banned in most countries, but adverts for products like IQOS are banned in a number of countries because they are manufactured using tobacco.
