Advertisements spread awareness among people about various products available in the market by describing product specifications, so consumers are able to choose among the best available. But now a days many advertisements are misleading people (for example deodorant, face-creams, inner-wears, etc. Advertisements).
To restrict such advertisements government should take initiatives such as if any misleading advertisement is broadcast ed the advertisement agency, manufacturing company and the advertising actors will be held responsible and strict action will be taken against those found guilty.

In my opinion, it should not be banned because it gives us latest information about the new product coming in the market.
Suppose we have a particular thing & we want to upgrade ones but it's not there so, just through the ad we get aware of it.
If we say that information can be gained from other sites also so, do you think that people have that much of time to search new product in the market, he/she just with TV and in between it comes they get aware of it.
We say that it lures people into impulsive spending, no It's not because we get attract towards the product so, it's our fault.

AS the media is the biggest asset to highlight a news in same advertisement is the biggest asset of products for their promotions. Basically advertisement behaves like a medium to attract the customers. As we know no one is perfect all have some advantage and disadvantage.
Advantage and disadvantage are like two sides of coin. In advertisement they only show their good quality of the product they don't show side effects of the product. We can't say that total fault is advertisement. It's depend o0n our decision. How we take the decision. To select a product. I think it's good thing.

Advertisement also needs certificate before its release. It should not tempt the people by untruth value of that product. And their sentence must be clearly stated that offers & other messages. Any condition must be disclosed on ads. (Ex: exchange your old gold without lose of even single milligram) This is false statement. It must convey clear statement without temptation. (another ex: you will get fairness in 7 weeks) We won't get it even after 70 weeks. This kind of temptation ads & false ads must be banned.
Genuine advertisement we need for awareness & product sale.

Advertisement mislead the public.
They claim discount but actually there is no discount. They increase the price and then comes to the actual price.
And they say buy 1 and get 1 free. Nothing like that actually happens they double the price of one item and then give you two.
In food the add fillers in order to increase the weight.
And you all have experienced this at least once. How do you feel when and great actor on TV. Opens a packet of chips and pick up one from the top and eat but when you buy the same packet of chip you need to dig your hand in the packet and then one chip.

We can't say that all the advertisement cheat people so I think banning advertisement is not a good idea.
Advertising is a way through which people come to know about various things in the market.
Yes, there are some people who advertise their product by cheating its customer. But this does not mean that we should ban all of them.
I think there should be a committee for the advertisement purpose which could check if the advertised content is actually real or not. In this way, people will not get cheated and there will also be no need to ban the advertisements.

According to me, advertisements should be banned. As it spoils the growing children. If they will show the add children will get addicted to the products and sometimes the adults. As I know lot of money is spent on advertisement, WHY? because they know that the people will be addicted to the product and wish to buy. If their product is not selling in good quantities, they will keep a product free with the selling product to increase the selling quantities. So I conclude that don't addict to add and waste money on waste and defective products.

In my point of view, advertisements are essential in our life. So that we can get aware of the things that are available. But nowadays advertisements are made in a way to attract the viewers and many of it doesn't even have any information about the product. And some are even fake. So it would be better to have an organization like censor board to provide permission for the release of any advertisement by verifying the things that are told in the advertisement are true. And to forbid the ads that don't have any essential information.

You cannot always say that advertisements cheat people. The companies always have a long term prospective in mind. They do the various advertisements knowing that they have to survive in the market. They are not here for a one time sell. If they cheat people by their advertisements then their products may be sold in the market for 1-2 times but after that it will be very difficult for the company to survive in the market. People will have ill feeling for their products & it will also spread to others through word-of-mouth.

My opinion is advertisement must not be band. Because in advertisements there are some bad advertisements and also some good advertisements. But we can learn from both. Even by watching bad advertisements we can know about the product or thing. So that we can allot from it.
By watching advertisements we come to know about all the products that are in the market, about the new technology has replaced the existing one. Important thing is that we can know how to use the product.
So advertisement should not be banned. Thank you.
