Starting in 1969, tobacco companies have been limited in their ability to advertise to the public. I believe that it is unconstitutional to limit the advertisements of these products when we still allow the advertisement of products such as alcoholic beverages. The specific policies and legislation I am referring to are:
-Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act of 1969
-Controlled Substances Act of 1970
-Consumer Product Safety Act of 1972
-Little Cigar Act of 1973
-Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986
All these acts have either wrongly classified or limited the advertisement of tobacco or tobacco products.
