Should Tobacco Advertising be Banned ?

|
The issue of whether we should ban tobacco advertising had been widely debated in our community recently. It is an important issue because it concerns the way that we deal with the health and social questions related to tobacco. A variety of different arguments have been put forward. After considering both the advantages and disadvantages of banning tobacco advertising, I conclude that tobacco advertising should not be banned. First of all, the question regarding the banning of tobacco advertising is: what do people really want to ban? Is it tobacco or tobacco advertising? Each ban should have its own purpose and particular objective. Obviously, the aim of banning tobacco advertising is to reduce smoking because tobacco is made from poisonous materials and it is harmful to health. For this purpose we can see, the objective of the ban should be tobacco but not tobacco advertising. In any case tobacco advertising is just a promotional conduct, it would not damage society and people’s health directly. Strangely, on the one hand people allow tobacco companies to continue to sell their products, on the other hand people are planning to ban tobacco advertising even though they know that tobacco advertising exists for tobacco but tobacco does not exist for tobacco advertising. It seems that tobacco advertising has become a victim of people’s infirmity of purpose in banning tobacco. ( good point ) A frequently heard objection to tobacco advertising is that the tobacco advertising is probably a major cause of the large number of adolescent smokers.
