Throttle2 Supersonic August 18, 2010 Author Share August 18, 2010 so far no one can logically explain why ban on tobacco ads and not alcohol ads. since both substances harm the body of the user and also others although in varying degrees Other than us trying to be "First world" country and to keep up with the other countries. (something we do a lot) there is no other reason. otherwise both types of ads should be banned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily1986 5th Gear August 18, 2010 Share August 18, 2010 Allow me my 2 cents. You heard of the tobacco lobby. Have you heard of an alcohol lobby? It is now almost an open secret that Tobacco giants once bankrolled scientists and researchers to come up with skewed findings that contradict notions that tobacco indulgence is bad for health. That to me is tantamount to the wanton and deliberate intent to misinform the general public. That being said, this act alone can be construed to be subversive. That is, if left unchecked, it could potentially cause social mayhem in theory. I am just saying there is this possibility. Well, you get uneasy when too much power is wrested in the hands of a few corporate giants. Thus the draconian measures and the cavalier attitude towards tobacco.
