Help abolish gambling advertising - STOP ADDICTION!
Stop gambling advertisements on the radio, internet, television/cinema, billboards and leaflets. Please help me make a stand, and help abolish gambling advertising.
Cigarettes are addictive, so is gambling. Why then has the advertising of cigarettes been banned, yet advertising for gambling is constantly rammed down our throats through TV screens? Celebrities and Sportsman are used to advertise gambling, portraying this addiction as glamorous. Gambling companies relinquish all responsibility for their 'advertising', by using the tag line, "When the Fun Stops - STOP!". Unfortunately for many, this slogan is too little too late! Addiction destroys families!
