Unconditional advertising of gambling falls into this category IMO and needs to be much more tightly controlled. The barrage of gambling advertisements in sport needs to stop.

Extreme advertising of gambling is.If people (adults) want to drink, gamble, smoke etc - let ‘em! Jesus - getting governments and politicians to be the arbitrators of how to lead a good life is a scary proposition!
Whilst Im a small government libertarian and agree with the principle of the govt staying out of people lives, the govt has a right to try to limit smoking and drinking whilst they are paying the medical bills.
