The American Advertising Federation opposes any effort to restrict truthful advertising about any legal product or service. The government s right to ban a product does not give it the right to ban speech about the product. Restricting product advertising will not advance the government interest of reducing abuse or use of the product. Experience from other countries shows that banning product advertising has not resulted in a decline of consumption. Bans on advertising for one product or service inevitably will lead to bans on advertising for others.
Censorship is contagious.
