ANKARA (AFP) - Smoking cigarettes is so widespread and deeply rooted in Turkey that even the French and the Italians - no slouches themselves when it comes to publicity - made "smoking cigarettes, and the Turks" their byword for chain smokers.
No more, says the Turkish Parliament, which has just joined many other countries in Europe, by adopting a law that prohibits smoking in bars, restaurants and cafes, and the next year.
Fair enough for a country negotiating its entry into the European Union. But can the law be effectively applied, many Turks surprising in a country that is not only large consumers but also producers of tobacco - the fifth in the world.
"I'm smoker over time - of course I will comply with the new law, because I know tobacco is bad for you," said 22-year-old Murat, who will be only his name.
But Ankara winter cold and the revitalization of external smoke cigarettes is torture, he said, a cigarette jiggling in the corner of his mouth while chatting on the smoky cafe in the downtown Kizilay, the heart of the Turkish capital.
At the heart of the city is, among many other businesses in the bevy of private educational institutions that prepare high school graduates in Turkey is difficult university entrance examinations, as well as bars, restaurants, cafes and recently revived hookah houses - or Shisha bar, as they also, known - abound in the area.
"The Turks used to find ways around the law as they enjoy smoking cigarettes," Murat said: "I do wonder if this law will actually work."
"We have the right to smoke cigarettes - a free life," interrupted a young woman with the following table.
Turkish parliament, dominated by the governing Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has adopted a law on January 3.
President of Turkey Abdullah Gul, an avowed tobacco-Hater, like his close friend and associate Erdogan, ratified the bill on Friday.
The new legislation allows for 18-month "transition period" before the ban comes into force.
It was originally designed for smokers zones in all public institutions, but has been tightened in the parliamentary debate, a simple ban of heavy fines - a lot of disappointing the Parliament of smokers, many of whom stayed away from the session rather than vote against the violation of party discipline.
After the law into effect next year, anyone who lights up in a public place will be fined 50 Turkish lira (29 euros or 42 dollars) and the creation of enabling her huge 5000 lire (2,900 euros or 4,200 dollars).
In complex jobs may be on law enforcement officers - many of them heavy smokers themselves - in a country where 60 percent of men and 20 per cent of women admitted being smokers.
And although they will be among the first to preach the evils of the weed, Health Minister Redzhep Akdag sheepishly admits 50 percent of Turkey's physicians said that they smoke.
"You must change the mentality", Akdag said.
But smoking cigarettes is a persistent habit, despite all the tax increases - more than 60 per cent is still a relatively cheap price by an average of 4.00 lira (2.30 euros or 3.40 dollars) a pack goes to state - because it is a social equalizer.
Before smoking was banned in all public transport several years ago, a cabbie first friendly gesture to rate climbing in his car was to offer a cigarette.
"What we are left with the cigarette smoking banned - how could we forget about the trouble?" bemoaned accountant Erkan Cakir, 40.
He accused the conservative government in secret, "acting like Murad IV" 17 th century Ottoman sultan who punished smokers and drinkers die - only to die himself at 28 of cirrhosis of the contract with the love of the bottle.
Restaurateurs and publicans too fear for the future of their business.
"Less people will come - that's for sure," said Zeki Ulkenli, owner of one of Ankara with the most popular uptown pubs.
"Maybe in the cities, we get new customers who stay away because of the smoke," he added optimistically.
"But how they will apply the law in the village cafe, I do not know," he said, referring to the small, smoke cigarettes - to fill in the rural tea houses, where after a working day, the farmers gather to exchange political views, a cup of tea, and many cigarettes.
Ulkenli, and cigarettes - smokers, said that he had just hit a habit.
"I'm back on cigarettes now," he admitted sadly.

Smoke-filled Turkey cracks down on widespread habit
Smoking cigarettes is so widespread and deeply rooted in Turkey that even the French and the Italians - no slouches themselves when it comes to publicity - made "smoking cigarettes, and the Turks" their byword for chain smokers.

"The Turks used to find ways around the law as they enjoy smoking cigarettes, so I wonder if this law would actually work," said Murat.
But the young woman from the next table said: "We have the right to a smoke-free life."
Large fines
In the Turkish parliament is dominated by the ruling Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has adopted a law on January 3.

It originally provided for smoking areas in all public institutions, but has been tightened in the parliamentary debate, a simple ban of heavy fines - a lot of disappointing parliament smokers, many of whom stayed away from the session rather than vote against, and violation of party discipline.
After the law into effect next year, anyone who lights up in a public place will be fined 50 Turkish lira ($ 48) and allowed the creation of it will be fined by a whopping 5000 lire ($ 4800).
In complex jobs may be on law enforcement officers - many of them heavy smokers themselves - in a country where 60 percent of men and 20 per cent of women admitted being smokers.

cigarettes advertising in USA
The Virginia Slims cigarette brand marketed to women with the slogan "You've come a long way, baby!" from the early 1970s until the late 1990s.
The ad seen here is from 1978.
The Virginia Slims cigarette brand marketed to women with the slogan "You've come a long way, baby!" from the early 1970s until the late 1990s.
The ad seen here is from 1978.
In the United States, in the 1950s and 1960s, cigarette brands were frequently sponsors of television shows—most notably shows such as To Tell the
Truth and I've Got a Secret. One of the most famous television jingles of the era came from an advertisement for Winston cigarettes. The slogan
"Winston tastes good like a cigarette should!" proved to be catchy, and is still quoted today. Another popular slogan from the 1960s was "Us
Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch!," which was used to advertise Tareyton cigarettes.
In June 1967, the Federal Communications Commission ruled that programs broadcast on a television station that discussed smoking and health were
insufficient to offset the effects of paid advertisements that were broadcast for a five to ten minutes each day. "We hold that the fairness
doctrine is applicable to such advertisements" the Commission said. The FCC decision, upheld by the courts, essentially required television
stations to air anti-smoking advertisements at no cost to the organisations providing such advertisements.
In April 1970, Congress passed the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act banning the advertising of cigarettes on television and radio starting on
January 2, 1971. The Virginia Slims brand was in the last commercial shown, with "a 60-second revue from flapper to Female Lib", shown at 11:59
p.m. on January 1 during a break on The Tonight Show .
Smokeless tobacco ads, on the other hand, remained on the air until a ban took effect on August 28, 1986
After 1971, most tobacco advertising was done in magazines, newspapers and on billboards. Since the introduction of the Federal Cigarette
Labelling and Advertising Act all packaging and advertisements must display a health warning from the Surgeon General. In November 2003, tobacco
companies and magazine publishers agreed to cease the placement of advertisements in school library editions of four magazines with a large group
of young readers (Time, People, Sports Illustrated and Newsweek).
The first known advertisement was for the snuff and tobacco products of P. Lorillard and Company and was placed in the New York daily paper in
1789. Advertising was an emerging concept, and tobacco-related adverts were not seen as any different to those for other products—their negative
impact on health was unknown at the time. Local and regional newspapers were used because of the small-scale production and transportation of
these goods. The first real brand name to become known on a bigger scale was "Bull Durham" which emerged in 1868, with the advertising placing the
emphasis on how easy it was "to roll your own".
The development of colour lithography in the late 1870s allowed the companies to create attractive images to better present their products. This
led to the printing of pictures onto the cigarette cards, previously only used to stiffen the packaging but now turned into an early marketing
concept.
Billboards are a major venue of cigarette advertising (10% of Michigan billboards advertise alcohol and tobacco, according to the Detroit Free
Press). They made the news when, in the tobacco settlement of 1999, all cigarette billboards were replaced with anti-smoking messages. In a parody
of the Marlboro Man, some billboards depicted cowboys riding on ranches with slogans like "Bob, I miss my lung".
America's first regular television news programme, Camel News Caravan, was sponsored by Camel Cigarettes and featured an ashtray on the desk in
front of the newscaster and the Camel logo behind him. The show ran from 1949 to 1956.
The ad seen here is from 1978.

Parliament - Cigarettes for leaders
Parliament is a cigarette brand manufactured by the famous “Altria”, or Philip Morris Tobacco Company. This tobacco brand's quality doesn't need any advertising because the fineness of Parliament cigarettes is commonly known. The cigs, known among young smokers as “Parlies” or “Parliess lights” have a strong and sharp flavor, partly due to a unique recessed filter. This delivers an incredible taste and light aroma. This brand of cigarettes is best known for its distinctive filter, which is recessed paper, as opposed to the foam filter, found on other brands. This filter not only makes these cigarettes more environmentally pleasant since the paper is better than the foam they are also healthier for the smoker themselves.
The producer “Altria” doesn’t answer the question “Why was the recessed filter introduced particularly with Parliament cigarettes"?. Their reason is short: “it’s a Parliament brand's secret”. So, the result given by “Parliament” cigarettes can be exemplified only by real smoking specialists: Parliament cigarette is a satisfaction that is felt till the last inhalation; the filter doesn’t get wet, so the smoke has a light taste; the smoke mixed with air has an unusual savor.
Often characterized by their sharp flavor, Parliaments have also earned themselves some different nicknames among smokers. "P-Funks" and "P-Lights" are two popular nicknames for the full flavored cigarettes, and the light flavored cigarettes. "P-Funks" stems from a well-liked funk band called "Parliament Funkadelic" or "P-Funks". Other well-liked nicknames for this brand of cigarettes include "Parlies" and "Parlie Lights". The smokers who choose Parliament as their trademark of choice have a fondness for them that shows in the nicknames they have given to the Parliament cigarettes.
Parliament cigarettes come in more varieties besides full flavored and lights. Some of the diverse varieties include:
Parliament Super Slims
Parliament Menthol
Parliament Extra Lights
Most every type of Parliament cigarettes also include menthol varieties.
Although they are manufactured in Europe, this tobacco brand is well known and sold on the Russian market. Parliament holds the first place among premium brands on the Russian tobacco market. Parliament cigarettes were the first brand sold outside the United States, which became famous in a night. It is one of the most demanded cigarette brands in Japan, Turkey, Israel, Argentina and other big countries.
Throughout the rest of the European market, Parliament cigarettes are not well known, thus, causing reputation in these areas to be low. To try to bring up popularity, Philip Morris opted to launch a small, but very focused, ad campaign to spread the word of these great cigarettes. He was concerned that a larger promotion may take a negative toll on the image of premium brand cigarettes and in turn cost him more money than he was hoping to make because of the campaign.
The name of the cigarette brand - “Parliament” - has its own meaning.
It is inspired by governors, leaders, who are strong and confident. A Parliament cigarette offers smokers an experience that has no analogues in comparison with other tobacco brands that already exist.
Parliament cigarette brand is a kind of phenomenon of the Russian market, because their sales reach 15% in Russia in comparison with 3.5% on American market from the entire Philip Morris production. Initially, Parliament cigarettes were the first distributed outside the USA, they were popular only in Japan, Argentina, Israel, Turkey and Russia till recently. On the other European Markets they were not well-known up to Philip Morris had launched a small but focused ad campaign.
Today, Parliament cigarettes are popular all around the world, including the United States of America. Not only do smokers enjoy the unique taste of this brand of cigarette, but the unique filters also draw attention. In addition, the low price of Parliament cigarettes cannot be beat in complaisant of the more popular brands.
