I think you mean tumors because all cancer is malignant. There’s no benign cancer.

What you’re feeling is your totally subjective value system bumping up against things that don’t jibe with it.
> these things are acceptable, and these things are not
You’re just taking those values and applying them to everything and everyone else. Febreeze gives me migraines, airlines are often totally shit companies, and toothpaste is a million of the same product full of a bunch of worthless gimmicks. Pharmaceutical ads depend on the pharmaceutical, and what you consider ‘vice’ ads are mostly for products used responsibly by many millions of people even if abused by many. Just because they make you uncomfortable doesn’t mean they should make everyone else uncomfortable.
