In my country, advertisements involving tobacco and alcohol are banned. You won’t find any ads involving them. Even if there are sponsorship, they’re shown in the name of something else. “Carlsberg Glasses.” Something like that. Brand name and something else like water, soda or glasses. Not gonna lie because it is effective. I go to the liquor store and I haven’t even heard half of the things they’re selling.
And tobacco advertisements are straight up banned. They can’t do anything. The government took it a step further and added a nasty picture of a dude with throat cancer and lung cancer in every box of cigarette no matter the brand. Except the imported ones. It’s totally NSFW and people get disgusted by it.
I wish alcohol ads were banned here in the states. the only stipulation is that people arent allowed to actively drink them onscreen. can only hold and pose with them
This is why we need government intervention on gambling
What happened with smoking didn’t happen overnight
It started with them banning advertising, next came the smoking ban in public places, then we had the warning labels put on packs and now (in Scotland anyways) cigarettes are not even allowed to be visible behind the counters in shops
Good, fuck gambling. Look at cigarettes, no more ads and the usage has dropped like crazy. I don’t know any young people under 20 that smoke.

I guess it still depends on location and ppl, in NYC art schools everyone smokes or at least vapes lmao

Sadly a lot of the gambling industry have gotten ahead of things already, leveraging streamers and shit to indoctrinate kids into the habit.
