Why were cigarette ads taken off of TV and liquor and beer ads allowed to stay?
Cigarettes were the primary target of public outrage when they were removed. The reason other ads that may or may not cause harm based on your opinions have not caused enough public outrage to be targeted, and their lobbyists in Washington are constantly working to prevent this from happening. this means that a large percentage of the liquor and beer and wine industries advertising and publicity budgets are going to the lobbyists to distribute in the form of trips, parties, junkets, and gifts. This is a part of the political argument of the opposing political parties fighting for the presidency today. Reformers want no perks and no PACs, and most in power want the status quo, but would love to return to days of old.
