An advertising ban is a legal prohibition or official restriction on promoting certain products, services, or messages.
Governments commonly impose advertising bans on tobacco, alcohol, gambling, or prescription drugs to protect public health or vulnerable populations.
Bans may be total or partial—restricting advertising to certain media, times, or audiences: The advertising ban on cigarettes doesn't extend to point-of-sale displays.
Industry self-regulation sometimes produces voluntary advertising bans.
