Tobacco Advertising and the First Amendment.

Hanauer, Peter; Pertschuk, Michael

Social Science Record, v25 n2 p17-18 Fall 1988

Presents an argument for the recently proposed ban on advertising of tobacco products. Differentiates between commercial speech, used to sell products and services, and political speech, which relates to ideas. Argues that tobacco is the only legal product that is dangerous when used as intended, therefore First Amendment rights regarding other products will not be threatened. (LS)
