best way to protest the ban on cigarette companies advertising?

Why would you? It's easier and cheaper to get them illlegally, untaxed. Smoke pushers don't even ask for ID.
@fumialari Why do I have the notion your name is Pieter?

@fumialari You have GOT to be trolling. You wish private business interests with a long history of lying through their teeth to the public were in charge of the entire nation?

@BlueMetalChick yes then we would have a nation of smokers

@fumialari And you want a nation of unhealthy people with an addiction who can't help but spend money on something that only harms their health?

Why would you wanna protest that? Fuck the tobacco industry.

@BlueMetalChick actually numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of advertising on buying habits. If it wasn't effective companies wouldn't spend millions of dollars on advertising.

@fumialari Either that's bullshit, or people are dumber than I thought.

@BlueMetalChick People are dumber than you thought. Indeed advertisements are only a thing because the profit gained from them (through brand recognition and subconscious associations) is greater than their (often astronomical) costs.

If you do a quick Google search you can find a figurative ton of studies done on the topic.

Go on eBay buy leisure wear and other items that still bear the logos and names, wear and use frequently.

I mean, dude, I'm a smoker and tobacco companies are evil fucks.

I think you should contact Venezuela. They truly need an economic boost.
