They have banned adverts for smoking...

[RainbowPrism]

So why not ban ads for alcohol ?

[CuteToni]

smoking is still pretty much advertised in every soap, drama, film and reality show. Alcohol adverts always carry a drinkwise warning now. Cigarette packs tell you that you're going to die if you smoke and yet people still do it. weak willed idiots imo.

[Prudie]

Well Rainbow I dont know if you're advocating the banning of alcohol ads but IMO alcohol destroys far more lives and breaks more hearts then smoking ever did.

[micmak]

I will second that Prudie.

[cazzz1975]

I agree prudie

[craft1948]

Well that's me buggered.......I'll just light up whilst I'm looking for the gin......

[micmak]

I love a nice rum'n'coke at the end of the day. That's it. Alcohol has killed many people, a bit like fags really. You pays your money and takes your choice.

[defenstrate]

they wont ban advert for drinking, just put strict guidline on them.
you dont see anyone drivking alcahol in the advert anymore as its against the rules.
if you need to ban any thing ban the bingo sponsor from advertised so heavy in the middle of the day.

I'm not touchy. Just a tongue-in-cheek comment on the typo.

Smoking and Alcohol can cause differing health problems but there's no such thing as passive drinking

The smoking ban was a godsend to us non-smokers
