I have a question for everybody what would happen if there was no tobacco advertisements in the world?

What would happen if there was no tobacco advertisement in the world? what the impact would it have? Would they be lower cancer risks? Would it have a dramatic economic impact? What do you think?

there would be some impact but not much. there are no advertisements for marijuana and lots of people still smoke it.

There would be less people smoking so that means less heart attacks and diseases and deaths.

Game theory would suggest that tobacco companies will probably have about the same profits, if not more. People will smoke regardless of whether the companies advertise, and if they don't advertise, they will be saving a lot of money. Sure, maybe in the future less people will smoke, but the impact from almost no advertising won't be much to discourage people from trying it and eventually becoming addicted.

There won't be much change in the sales of tobacco as its an addictive good. Addictive goods such as bidis and leaf tobacco are very slightly price responsive and their elasticity is more stabilized.
