Of what? It certainly hasn't stopped cigarettes.

If gamblers want to gamble, is not seeing the 30 second video ad the only thing stopping them?

Of speech.

prohibition noun pro· hi· bi· tion ˌprō-ə-ˈbi-shən also ˌprō-hə- Synonyms of prohibition 1 : the act of prohibiting by authority 2 : an order to restrain or stop

Do you have a point? Alcohol and cigarette ads are regulated, explicit audio and visual content is prohibited on public airwaves, etc.
I feel like my point is fairly obvious.

The person I was replying to stated:

>Prohibition is never the answer.

and immediately suggested prohibition as the answer.
