    OK! So, we know that the sales of tobacco and alcohol cannot be apart of a content page that had Adsense on it...

    My question is, what about pages that merely talk about such products. Content like tobacco reviews and/or wine reviews, or a blog about smoking pipe tobacco and how-to guides. Are those kinds of content allowed to have Adsense on their pages?

    It clearly states Sales so if you have affiliate links put up then you can land in trouble.

    It seems a mixed bag. And Google bans at their sole discretion.

    This site has been using Google Adsense for years with no problems at all

    I work a celebrity niche so I see it come up in the results all the time.

    MY friend opened a site and it was information about different tobaccos. He was not selling anything but he got rejected from adsense. Try to reapply and tell the situation, they will reply

    What about providing a link to a wine store... a physical store, not an online retailer? There is no way to purchase wine on the website, but it does offer a review of featured wines.

    Is that allowed?

    google doesn't always catch all of them, but it is not worth getting banned over.

    So linking to Gary Vaynerchuk's Wine Library TV show is a no-no?
