Cigarette advertising was banned in the US. It famously increased profit because they didn't have to burn it all on advertising.

Advertising is like nuclear weapons. It's bad that it exists, harms people around it, and is only needed because the opposition has it. If it disappeared, everyone would benefit, but no one wants to be the first.
