Makes sense, but why not also include ads for alcohol?
Why not ban all advertising. It’s all a waste of energy.
Many companies like websites, tv, radio, etc. depend on the revenues from advertisers to pay their workers and expenses. If they didn’t have that, everything would likely turn to susbscription or a regular pleading for money so they could continue.
If companies need advertisements to inform potential customers, let them do that in an appropriate place. For instance, an adds booklet.
Allowing companies to use the public space to advertise is not in the interest of the populace: it stimulates overconsumption and it creates distracting stimuli in an environment that is already very busy. It also facilitates unfair competition when advertising space is sold to the highest bidder, since company wealth supersedes product quality or utility.
