In my humble opinion, there should be. There are far too many fatal health risks associated with all three that all should be strongly regulated.

By now, we should all know that smoking, alcohol and junk food are seriously detrimental to your health. As a smoker, I totally agree that the tobacco industry should be regulated, especially after reading yesterday that the tobacco industry are now focusing in (yet again) on women. Camel no 9 packs are being designed to look similar to the channel 5 packaging. Smoking is not glamourous, it causes aesthetic problems as well as serious health issues.

I'm not much of a drinker, nor much of a fast food eater. I am not a big fan on the taste of either, to be honest. I think that drinking especially can be lethal due mainly to the things some people do while under the influence. Not only is there drink driving, but also fighting, vandalism and a whole world of other negative things. However, when you see a beer or spirits ad on tv, it's always portrayed as extremely glamorous to drink certain brands. I don't find anything glamourous about having a drunk driver slam into my car, or a drunk peeing in my garden. This is without considering the implications of alcohol abuse.

Fast food also, always advertised as cool and family friendly. Well, it's not so family friendly when you're 30 and 300lb, or your 10 year old child is diagnosed with diabetes!

Regulated advertsing for all, I say. Show the flipping dangers, just as you do with tobacco.
