Alcohol vs. Tobacco
Cigarette advertising has been banned on TV for a long time, yet, ads for alcoholic beverages continue to flood the airwaves even on a Sunday afternoon ballgame where children watch those beer commercials. Alcohol attributes to drunk drivers causing fatalities, and alcohol also leads to domestic violence.
Question: Is it time to equalize the stigma attributed to death and smoking with the stigma associated with alcohol and death and remove TV ads glorifying the consumption of beer and other alcoholic beverages?
