Yes, it's just a modern, hip advertisement. I don't follow the rules around ads and smoking but even that ad makes it clear that it's still smoking. The terminology was "Smoking evolved" and "x # of Puffs."

I mean the PAX advertising doesn't really scream marijuana, but if you buy it you know what it's for. http://www.thenoonstore.com/?attachment_id=650

They're really pushing it given the precedent the ban on cigarette TV ads set.
