The advertising of gambling

Additional Information

The advertising of gambling, should be banned.
Gambling is more detrimental . It causes family brake-ups, server debt, poverty and heath issues.
The cost to the economy is far greater than smoking, and that’s banned.
Gambling is as additive as drugs, alcohol, smoking etc, yet is allowed to be advertised before the watershed timings.
The way the gambling adverts are contrived are in such a way they make out that the player will win vast amounts of money, be able to go on luxury holidays, pay off debts etc.
Many people will know of, or have heard of some poor soul who that has amassed tens of thousands of pounds of debt through gambling. Have lost their home, families, jobs, friends and more due to the unconscious addiction.
