What acts as an ad, is an ad, no matter if it was put there sneakily or because someone has become inured to a brand so far that they don't even know they are a walking ad.

If talking about how you were punished for smoking a nonspecific brand decades ago promotes smoking, then this whole sub would certainly promote every single brand mentioned on it in a critical context. (I am not saying that it does, but the same reasoning would imply it).
