Chapter 4

prohibited sponsership- When a company or companies are limited on how they can advertise their products to the public.
The use of limited spnsership i believe is an infringment on the american system of free speech and and equal oppertunity to all.Cigerette companies have had their rights takin by the federal government. the product is legal so advertising it should be legal. People understand that when they smoke tobbacco they have a high risk of getting cancer, its just understood now. The laws were made to protect the people under 18 from a "bad habit" even though in the real world everyone knows some one who smokes. I grew up in a smoking household and it caused the reverse of advertising as i now see it as a disgusting expensive life threatining habit and thats without the "help" of the governments protection. The american industy is held down by laws and restrictions which dampin the american markets effect on the world. Americans are smart enough to decide for themselves what they should or should'nt do. The U.S. boast that we are the freest and most economic friendly country in the world, but as we continue to make the government a larger part of everyday life we float more towards socializm.
