Of our Government and Tobacco!!

One day, I was driving to office and happened to hear an advt. about the health hazards in chewing tobacco. The ad. went for a minute or so explaining how chewing tobacco can be injurious to your liver and how does it reduce your life time.

Just when I thought that the govt. has become more responsible , the next ad. that immediately followed was of a Gutka brand explaining how good it is to chew it. This ad played for more time than the ban tobacco ad and yeah, this one appealed more than the first one

What is the use of the ban tobacco ad when you actually follow that with a better Gutka ad? The best way to stop using tobacco is to either ban the products completely or if thats not possible, at least ensure that the ads are restricted to be played at odd hours and not at a time when everyone is hearing the radio
