They do not advertise cigarettes on television for GOOD reason.

It GLAMORIZED a self-destructive habit.

I’m fine with legalized gambling.

It’s the promotion and glamorization through advertising that bothers me.

Same deal with alcohol.

No good reason to be advertising and glamorizing hard liquor on television.

Back in the day distilleries made a voluntary pledge not to advertise hard liquor on television.

That was before cable changed telecasting.

They should also BAN all prescription drug advertising as well as the clot shot.

Also the advancement of state lotteries is another factor. I mean hey, if the State advocates gambling, why not?
