Google already bans ads for firearms, fireworks, and tobacco products. There are restrictions on adult content, alcohol, gambling, drugs, and financial services [1].

They've always been more selective about what can be advertised, versus what shows up as the result of a search. The product being legal to buy has never been the standard.

Just if someone is sleeping at the wheel — this is perfect opportunity to create “google for googles prohibited items”. Nothing illegal in advertising these products.
