Limit pharmaceutical advertising

Continuing the discussion from No Propaganda on News, Factual information Only!:

Would this be appropriate to suggest here regarding advertising by Big Pharmaceutical companies on TV/Radio/Print media?

After Big Tobacco was sued in the 1980’s, they were restricted from advertising and sponsorship because of the adverse health outcomes of tobacco use. Should the same approach and rules now apply to big pharma companies ?

There was a time that pharmaceutical companies and attorneys were not permitted to advertise on TV, radio and not sure if print was included in that.
