Has anyone here worked on a tobacco account? I don't have much of a hangup on the product itself (users know what they're getting into, like alcohol) but I'm wondering if the work is usable in a book, or if it's taboo in the eyes of hiring managers/decision makers. Weighing whether to pursue a role ripping heaters or not...

I was a sales rep for a tobacco company before going into advertising. Not on my resume anymore due to experience, but kept it on there as a talking piece of working in a regulated industry, getting buy in from multiple people for a program, etc. A bit different on the account side though I imagine.

I don’t know all the law limitations and what’s allowed or not allowed, but I imagine it could be hard to get some great work done because of what you are legally allowed to say and or show in the creative. That said, opens you up to other regulated industries when you learn how to play in a confined sandbox.

You can’t display the work on your website without a password. With that being said, it’s unlikely the work would be good enough for your book anyways.
