number of advertisements are focused on children for their own benefits like the growth of the company. Some folks believe it should be banned
while
others believe it has several positives
such
as awareness of new products.
However
, I strongly agree with the given statement
due to
several possible reasons
such
as the financial burden on parents, and poor dietary choices and the following paragraphs will elaborate on both stances with lucid examples. To commence with, the first and foremost reason to disagree is that, ads for unhealthy food can cause a number of health illnesses namely diabetes, and obesity in offspring because of an easy target. 80% of teenagers,
for example
, are suffering from obesity after consuming these canned bread regularly.
Moreover
, they feel lazy
while
doing their regular activities
due to
excessive intake of junk food
as well as
sugary beverages.
Secondly
,
this
is not only an issue for offspring but
also
for their parents as they are demanding extra pocket money to spend on these items. After seeing the new game, to illustrate, they are forcing their guardians to buy for them which can cause a financial burden on their parents.
Furthermore
, after watching ads

illegal products, they feel the urge to try them which become one of the main reasons for teenagers' death like an overdose of cannabis.
To conclude
, there is no doubt that having advertisements has some merits
such
as awareness.
Nevertheless
, it has more cons
such
as poor intake of food in youngsters and parent's stress
due to
high expenses.
Although
, the government can still continue with the ads that could be helpful for children namely advertisements on books.
