Quote: Winslade's Offload "Difficult dilemma we have here. Nicotine is a fairly addictive drug. But then so is alcohol and society currently is more accepting of this than nicotine. So if you ban advertisement of one, you probably have to do the same with the other.
My immediate response to nicotine advertisement would undoubtedly be 'ban it', but thinking about it logically, drunks cause a large number of social problems, and liver disease from alcohol abuse is a killer. So you could argue that between the two, alcohol poses more problems than nicotine.'"
Agree with all your points.
I think the clubs reasoning is "a lot of people smoke, this is a 'disputed' healthier option and they're willing to pay. Why not?"
