Well, on that benefit: you could get the same information from non-for-profit sources, in a more neutral and ethical way.

On the banning topic: I’m from Spain, and here smoking is not banned, but heavily restricted, and avdertisement on it it’s banned everywhere. Basically, as a society we want to avoid more people being harmed, so we restrict it.

As with anything, it’s not a matter of full ban or full allow, but if it is mostly harmful for the people and the planet, yeah, it should be heavily restricted. Like pollution, like drugs, and so many other things… When someone’s freedom affects everyone basics rights, we ought to act.
