Should pharmaceutical ads be banned from TV like tobacco ads are?

No

I dispise those ads when they come on TV and say out loud all of the side effects of the drug while I am eating.
I don't want to hear words like diarrhea, vomiting, etc. while I am eating.
And the side effects of these drugs they are trying to push us to take, some of the side effects are suicidal thoughts and death.
Who wants to take a drug for a medical condition and then get suicidal thoughts to deal with? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m on board for that. Far too many as it is and your doctor knows about the meds.

/yes, people do not need to watch these commercials. Its bad enough that some doctors get kickbacks when they prescribe a specific medication.
Does anyone really think that giving people diabetes drugs to lose weight is going to end well?

yes. Although when you're in Mexico, all the pharma ads are replaced with junk food ads. I don't know if that's any better.
