Why not ban all advertising? Isn't that the discussion we should be having?

If we're going to accept that advertising is an ever-existing industry in our lives, then shouldn't the conversation be not about what kinds of advertising we should ban, but media awareness in general?

Bans should be reserved for the most egregious, such as products that kill (tobacco) or explicit incitements to violence, for example.
