"Congress shall make no law [...] abridging the freedom of speech"

Why is Congress able to outlaw advertising of Tobacco?

To protect the children
Corporations don't have free speech rights
Advertising isn't speech because it isn't free
Because if they outlaw tobacco, the government loses billions in taxes
The Constitution is a living document
Because the government has the guns and prisons
Because it's OK for kids to see ads for condoms & Viagra, but not for cigarettes
Because I'm not a smoker and don't care
Because Tobacco costs the health care system more
Because the NAB wants it that way
Tobacco is very different than Tea from England
Because you can’t speak while drawing deeply from a smoke.
Because tobacco is sold in interstate commerce
Because Tobacco is an illegal product like Marijuana
Because people have to be protected from themselves
Because a majority in Congress & the President do not respect the Constitution.
