    Ads for gambling should be prohibited, just like those for tobacco and alcohol.

        But without ads, our children and grandchildren will have no idea what to do when they have a structured settlement and they need cash now.

          I get ya. One step at a time. I believe there’s value just saying these things out loud, getting it in the zeitgeist, helping people imagine the possibility.

      Are you saying ads for tobacco and alcohol are prohibited on gas pumps? Because ads for alcohol are all over every advertising medium in existence.

        Depends on where you are.

        Where I am, alcohol, tobacco and gambling were all prohibited in advertisement, then gambling had a pass (because those making the laws are most likely in the pockets of gambling execs), but it looks like it will get prohibited again.
