For the past weeks, our country has become alarmed by the growing addiction to gambling, because of the many billboards proliferating, influencers promoting gambling sites, and TV commercials and sponsorships on TV shows.
Due to this, many lawmakers proposed a total ban on gambling, which was opposed by various sectors due to the tax implications and job losses, leading them to suggest a stricter restriction.
Strict restriction means the regulators order all billboards to be taken down, influencers to take down their posts and stop posting, and all sponsorships to be stopped.
Do you think seeing no gambling, hearing no gambling, and talking no gambling, not even a mention of a gambling site, will decrease addiction? Is it a good resolution?
This growing number of addictions here in our country started because of the massive marketing and influence of celebrities. Your thoughts on this?
Marketing would be always having that impact on which this is just that normal because at the time that people would be seeing out those billboards,ads in internet or commercials or even with those typical exposure into those gambling games, then it would be understandable that it would be causing up that kind of increasing or high number of people who do get addicted or would be getting involved with gambling and since we are talking about gambling then its highly addictive and its normal that these businesses would be that somewhat aggressive when it comes to marketing since this is a highly profitable kind of business or something that brings up that huge profit and having that good amount when it comes to tax then it wont be surprised that government would be allowing it, but just like been seen on here that everything does have limits and if ever addiction rate had soar up into that uncontrolled manner then governments responsibility will be taking place on which on taking action in order to protect its citizen and its just that right on what the government had been able to do on here on which they had act out immediately and making up some prohibitions on which it is a good step that they have done. This should be how government would be reacting on which they should be fast on doing so because this is just that for the benefit of everybody specially for its citizens.
