In 2007, Vogue drew criticism from the anti-smoking group, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids , for carrying tobacco advertisements in the magazine. The group claims that volunteers sent the magazine more than 8,000 protest e-mails or faxes regarding the ads. The group also claimed that in response, they received scribbled notes faxed back on letters that had been addressed to editor Anna Wintour stating, Will you stop? You're killing trees! [7]

In 2009, the feature-length documentary The September Issue was released; it was an inside view of the production of the record-breaking September 2007 issue of U.S. Vogue, directed by R. J. Cutler.

The issue became the largest ever published; over 5 pounds in weight and 840 pages in length, a world record for a monthly magazine.[citation needed]
