which represent the usage of

by
children
, but
children
may interpret them in the wrong way.

. Another aspect of unacceptable advertising is the advertisement of tobacco by famous personalities. People admire and gets influenced by famous personalities like actors, politician etc. When film stars or politicians advertise tobacco or alcohol, true followers can sometimes start following them blindly without considering their harmful effects, which is very wrong.
This
in turn has a negative effect on their health.
Also
, youngsters start copying their favourite film stars. And if they start consuming tobacco, it will affect the nation’s future generations in a wrong way. And
hence
some regulations should be applied to
such
advertisements. In conclusion, the content of advertisements should be regulated by some critic body so that it should not cause any harm to society. It cannot be totally blocked but can be regulated because advertisement is the heart of marketing
products
to consumers.
Hence
, some steps should be taken by the government towards
this
issue.
