You might think that, but HFSS restrictions on TV are pretty strict. As an adult you might not notice them, but try watching kids/family content and you’ll notice a difference in the ads being served.
Then go watch a kids video on YouTube and enjoy your San Miguel ad
What is telling?

Sorry more, but I disagree. I feel strongly that personal responsibility should be taken for managing addiction. The politicians have sold gambling regulations to people for cheap clout, because its a much safer win than telling people to take responsibility. In much the same way they’re looking to come down hard on HFSS advertising, it’s safer to blame the companies than say to parents your fat diabetic kid is down to your laziness and taking him to McDonalds five days a week, not McDonalds ads on TV.
You can see through the hypocrisy of it all when you look at how unregulated the online spaces is versus TV, despite anecodatal and quantitative information suggesting that kids spend far more time online (YouTube etc.) than on TV.
Gambling regulation on TV is smoke and mirrors. It’s an easy political victory because TV is already so heavily regulated.

yet the evidence does exist that tax and regulation does reduce smoking.

seems to me the free for all attitude doesn't actually work. There's examples everywhere of this but hey no problem. Its not like i actually told you guys you need to stop betting.
But quite the reaction. Its telling.

Your incoherent response is an affront to the excellent, informed and well articulated comment you're replying to. I knew there was bound to be at least one preacher on an article about betting.
We know all this hogwash, please save us the drama.
