A better idea is to simply further regulate advertising. We already have many rules about advertising. We used to have more we got rid of, most famously Rx drug ads weren’t allowed, but now they are. I’m sure there are many ideas people have for how to do this. Personally I would just like to see us ban ads for Rx drugs, OTC snake oil, gambling, alcohol, and cars. Maybe also fast food and junk food. It worked so well for tobacco. Don’t need to ban the products, just ban ads for them.
