Alcohol Ads
While I certainly applaud The Times’ decision to ban tobacco ads (Sept. 26), it is the height of inconsistency--many would say hypocrisy--that The Times does not ban advertising for a substance far more lethal than tobacco and guns combined: alcohol.
Please consider taking your noble bans on advertising one step further by rejecting alcohol ads--now, that would be a courageous step forward for humankind.
