What is the cost-benefit analysis that led you to that conclusion? I ask as someone who enjoys smoking but struggles to see any good argument for the return of tobacco advertising.
No cost-benefit analysis, I have a philosophical aversion to controlling speech.
Interesting. I guess I don’t see corporations as people, and thus I don’t see this as a violation of free speech.
Hm, even if a corporation wasn’t simply a group of people, it seems like cig ads are banned even if it’s a single person wanting to air one.
Would you allow advertising class A drugs? TV adverts on kids channels for heroin?

Your position is absurd, I’m sorry.
