| COMPLAINTS
OF THE WEEK |
| On January first this year, Snohomish
county banned Cigarette advertising at stores that is viewable from the
roadway. Gone are those tacky Marlboro ad's Showing cigarette cartons for
$23.99 etc. This is a good thing but I think if we are going to ban these
ads, beer and alcohol ads should be banned as well. After all they pretty
much go hand in hand. They both kill people They both require identification
to purchase. And they are both addicting. So Why even ban the ads?
Instead of banning the ads, more enforcement of the laws are needed. =-) |
