Labor MPs have urged the coalition to stop accepting political donations from tobacco companies as the lower house debates a ban on cigarette advertising on the internet.
The coalition is supporting a government amendment to tobacco advertising laws to restrict ads on the internet in line with other media.
The move will mean it will be an offence to advertise tobacco products on the internet.
Liberal MP Andrew Southcott said the coalition shared a common desire with Labor to achieve a healthier society.
The current laws lacked clarity, Dr Southcott told parliament.
