Impose a 100% tax on alcohol and gambling advertising to fund support services
Quite some years ago tobacco companies were banned from most of their advertising.
I've often heard people suggest the same should be done with alcohol and gambling.
We have seen over the last 20 years all the various measures have made a significant impact on smoking
Rather than doing that it would be far better for the alcohol and gambling companies to be free to spend as much as they like on advertising so long as that is matched with treatment.
There are whole generations of people addicted to both alcohol and gambling. With the current financial situation government funding has been going down and is likely to continue to go down.
These companies that have profited from people's addiction so it seems appropriate that they help funding their treatment.
