41. Only if they allow smokes and booze to be advertised

Come on ..... this is not a hard question. The ads serve no purpose whatsoever.

And while we're talking about ads ...... what about such companies as Archer Daniels Midland, and United Technologies and Boeing, etc. When was the last time anyone bought, for example, their own Boeing product? Who are these ads aimed at?

So, no, advertising on venues aimed at consumers should be for consumer products and services. Let the drug ads go to medical journals.
