An interesting wrinkle in the cigarettes example is it’s illegal sell them to kids. So advertising to kids is actively trying to conduct an illegal transaction

- NicuCalcea 2y agoAs far as I know, the US bans all tobacco advertising on TV. And obviously adults can still smoke.
- Retric 2y agoRadio and TV has long had more limited free speech protections because it’s a shared and thus finite resource. Thus the fines for curse words, nudity, etc. Banning in magazines targeting kids is a separate question.
