Anything LEGAL should be allowed to advertise anywhere.

[THE PROFIT]

cigs kill millions

[leeznon]

Because society is screwed up.

[str]

Cig commercials have been replaced with pill commercials.
What a complete pile of shit they are.

[acarmelo1]

Cause cigs kills you and all people around you, beer only kills you

[THE PROFIT]

Id say alot of it has to do with ABusch, Miller, Coors, or "Big Beer" never denying under oath that it will kill you!

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Cigarettes kill you
If you drink irresponsibly it kills you

difference

[THE PROFIT]

main cause of death from drinking is car crashes you goofass. I guess drunk driving in Panama isnt a problem because donkey carts dont go that fast

[acarmelo1]

It is proven that one cup of wine per week helps on the blood flow of the body. So Wine is good for your health.

Ok, but that is ilegal. You go to jail for doing that. I do not see any Ad's for drunk driving, and there are on their way to approve a law were is forbiden to sell alcohol after 2am on Panama.

Also if they find that you are driving drunk on panama they will take your car and fine you, and pass a day in jail until you are sober.

They dont do this already?

I spent a night in jail had to shit out over 8 grand and do community service for my first offense

Its different here, carm. Drunk driving is a major offense & getting worse, & we have tons of ads against drunk driving, alot of them paid for by big beer, but mostly the state governments

Drink Responsibly...

[pavyracer]

Why are whiskey and bourbon ads allowed?

[THE PROFIT]

Why are whiskey and bourbon ads allowed?

its cig ads we are talking about being not allowed & alcohol that is allowed

[acarmelo1]

I think in the end they are not banned because alcohol manufacturers promote the
"Dont Drink and Drive" and "Do not Abuse" slogans. And they do ad's regarding this.

[acarmelo1]

Every time I see a beer commercial it has written "Dont Drink and Drive"

[Carseller4]

The answer is obvious. Beer companies donate more to politicians.

[acarmelo1]

also making beer is an art, they win medals for their taste

[gryfyn1]

It is proven that one cup of wine per week helps on the blood flow of the body. So Wine is good for your health.

Not really - The benefits from wine come from the grapes - you can drink grape juice and get the same benefits without the side affects than can come with alcohol.

[acarmelo1]

Data have come in from all over the world. Studies have focused on both men and women, various age groups, and people of many ethnic groups. The conclusion remains the same: those who drink moderately live longer and have less risk of developing heart disease than those who abstain from alcohol. Published papers now total in the many hundreds.

At this point, drinking and driving will get you in about as much trouble as selling crack.

[ZetaPsi808]

cigarettes are addictive and way more harmful to yourself and the people who are sitting next to you when you are smoking a cigarette

[jbrent95]

With cartoons and candy cigs, tobacco was deemed as to targeting children. While beer ads mainly show chicks showing skin which is deemed as targeting the older boys and men.

[robmpink]

a hard 10 cents earned!

[Cuse0323]

Cig companies are saving money letting the alcohol companies do the work for em anyway. Everyone needs a cigarette when they're drinking.

alcohol sucks and kills...end of story

that use to always piss me off so bad because in TN you can buy beer until 3am. By 9:00 I haven't even decided if I want any liquor yet and stop to get beer on the way home from the bar

[Lockitup1x]

Because alcohol is also a disinfectant.
