Mosley, making his statements to a European journalist, who asserted that increases in youth tobacco consumption in "modern industrial countries" are a direct result of bans on tobacco advertising in such nations.
Mosley; fresh information (released October, 1997) from the International Union Against Cancer's European Union Liason Office states that, "In three out of the four described countries(1) smoking prevalence among young people decreased, while in one it remained stable."

Mosley attempted to make an analogy concerning the rise of illegal drug use and the rise in youth smoking rates, implying that, since both are rising, advertising cannot be responsible for the increase in smoking among youth.

Max Mosley: You’re confusing two separate issues: you’re confusing whether they did an illegal service and if so what the penalty should be, and then, if you get the penalty wrong, then that obviously did have an effect, but that says nothing as to the draconian-ness or not of the penalty.
