The one I was partial to was the Lucky Strike commercial with the LSMFT (Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco). Us boys would yell out LSMFT (Loose Strap Means Floppy Titty). lol
Pharma ads are not trying to sell you drugs. Pharma is bribing networks with lucrative contracts that come with restrictions on what they allow on air. They are using your money to propagandize you into believing the drugs are safe so they can continue to rip you off while you are suffering and broke. Yeah, this needs to come to an end.
Junk food may not be as toxic as cigarettes (honestly not sure), but the current attitude towards the poison we eat has to start changing in the same way cigarettes were slowly made a taboo.
Example: as a kid, I loved breakfast cereal, obviously, because it's formulated to be hyoerpalatable and irresistible. And the Saturday morning cartoon commercials for that poisonous slop made sure it was my go to breakfast. And then my teenage years were a constant struggle with my weight because no one tells you that eating pounds and pounds of sugar every week in the form of "this complete breakfast" is going to be really bad for you. I literally did not have a single fuckin clue that breakfast cereal and orange drink are poison.
People need to be told all this ultra processed slop isn't food. It's actually really bad for you. Just like cigarettes. And the same advertising bans should apply.
I have a theory : When people don't get enough vitamins, the body goes into a fail safe mode by storing fat because it thinks the person is malnourished and is going to die.
I hate to burst your hopes, but banning Pharma ads will not solve the real problem… Big Pharma doctor training and doctor payments for pushing drugs is the bigger problem. And how about we start educating doctors about nutrition and what keeps people healthy.
Seen cigarette ads on tv way beyond 1971
Yeah I'm pretty sure I saw Marlboro ads in the 90s
TV
Problem was that doctors were allow to start advertising in 1975.
The Ad money came from the patients.
Prescription drugs in 1983

4 of 5 doctors recommend Camel brand cigarettes!
Now it is “Sugar and junk food won’t hurt you but meat with fat will give you a heart attack.”

This meme is so cool and mild.
Odd choice of words, but I feel strangely comfortable with them.

Not true. I watched cigarette ads. They were also in magazines and newspapers

I would like to see pharma ads being eliminated.
