Liquor advertising
Sir, —If cigarette advertising is to be restricted why not drink advertising also?; Have warnings cut down the innocent pedestrian death' rate? Cigarettes, if they do,] kill only the individual smoker. Drink kills the innocent while the drinker escapes. I have yet to read of cigarettes being blamed by ! the accused for being the ; cause of murder, bashings, ’ robbery, rape, pedestrian deaths, home-wrecking, etc. But daily these crimes are blamed on drink by the accused, while alcoholics increase, yet the Government, urges increased drinking hours so that gluttony by a few can continue on a Sunday, making even that day a driving and pedestrian risk. It does not make sense.— Yours, etc., SMOKER’S PARADISE. March 23, 1973.
