From the supplier: The proposed ban on cigarette advertisements is causing concerns about commercial freedom of speech. Proponents of the ban are stressing the fact that it will prevent adolescents from becoming addicted to nicotine. Government banning the promotion of activities that are considered illegal or injurious to health can be interpreted as a way of controlling consumer behavior by monitoring discussions on such topics.
