Less anti-smoking advertising under the Coalition

Anti-smoking: a pitch is expected to take place next month
House on fire? Or maybe someone's just burned the toast?
No, it's someone smoking at the door, facing outdoors. From Brand Republic

In this piece, Brand Republic speculates about the future of anti-smoking advertising in the current review and overhaul of government's central communications.
Anti-smoking ads were backed with a £26.7 million budget in 2008/09, which dropped to £14.6 million in 2009/10 and just £1.1 million in 2010/11.
I dread to think what they're spending these savings on, but a reduction in this particular budget is welcome news.
