You want to market your product, but should you? And will the authorities allow you to do so?
In 2026, there is a worldwide debate regarding social media products to younger people.
In the 1960s in the United States, the debate was about tobacco.
Not that kids could legally buy tobacco. (Wink wink.) But kids could certainly see television ads and hear radio ads for tobacco.
And the kids were paying attention, causing concern.
“Public health officials and consumers wanted stronger warning labels on tobacco products and their advertisements banned from television and radio, where they could easily reach impressionable children. (Tobacco companies were the single largest product advertisers on television in 1969.)”
President Richard Nixon stepped in.
“On April 1, 1970, President Richard Nixon signs legislation officially banning cigarette ads on television and radio.”
We’ve come a long way…baby?
