The federal government has once again stepped in and decided to run our lives. They have decided that for our own good, all advertising by tobacco companies will be banned. Remember now, this is for our benefit. Not only has the government arbitrarily terminated cigarette advertising, they have, in their ultimate wisdom, decided that sponsorship of events by tobacco companies will be discontinued. The rationale behind all of this: since the advertising is targeted towards the youth of Canada, it will, therefore, spoil our future generations by killing them off before their time. If this ban is allowed to go through undenounced, what will be next? Alcohol advertising? Coffee? Fast food? Catsup? According to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, everyone has the right to freedom of speech. Why should tobacco companies be excluded? The government will certainly not ban anti-smoking advertisements. Individuals are capable of deciding for themselves whether or not they will smoke. Perhaps discontinuing advertisements will prevent young people from smoking, but the chance of that is minimal—advertising is not the enticing element which young people look to. Youth will look to peers and heroes for that guidance. What is really inane is the banning of sponsorship of athletic and other events. The tobacco companies claim the purpose of their advertising is not to encourage new smokers but to encourage existing ones to change brands. With sponsorships, their A nightmare for Canadians products are not blatantly plugged. Would a ten-year old associate smoking cigarettes with News Comment the Player's Challenge? It's not too likely.
