Research shows that overeating can be just as harmful as smoking. Thus the advertising of certain food products should be banned, as cigar is banned in many countries. Do you agree or disagree?
Many research have shown that overeating causes many health issues as smoking does and the public argues that it is necessary to ban some food ads to prevent people from consuming it. However, there are individuals who say it is unnecessary to ban such ads because people only buy it at first but to keep consuming it, it requires the quality of the products. In my perspective, I wholeheartedly disagree with banning certain food ads due to the fact that the nutrition and health organization would not allow the food to be distributed if it is harmful in the first place.
