If pharmaceutical reps were "advertising to physicians" in that they provide medical information on how a drug works, why a doctor should prescribe it, potential risks, etc. then I might agree. However, it seems like more often than not pharma reps buy doctors a fancy steak dinner and a lap dance in exchange for pushing legal heroin on every person that walks through the door. I would rather pharmaceutical marketing be made illegal, and instead require doctors to do some kind of continued education on advancements in medication and other relevant info.
