It looks as if what you need to do is learn how to conduct thorough and effective searches. You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.
Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:

Democracy is based on many things, freedom of speech being one of them.
The other rights in the First Amendment alone are:
of religion
of the press
of assembly
to petition the government
Perhaps the most fundamental base of democracy is the right to vote.
Anyway:
I suppose you could imagine a cigarette ad that was not false or misleading, but I never saw one and the product is not only dangerous but is illegal for much of the audience to purchase. Therefore I believe the Federal Communications Commission has the authority to ban such advertising.
great answer damon thank alot
To understand whether the banning of cigarette advertising on television is consistent with the necessity to control false and misleading advertisements of illegal products, we need to examine the reasons behind such bans and the principles of democracy.
First, it's important to note that the government's role in a democracy is to ensure the welfare and safety of its citizens. This includes protecting them from harm, such as the potential health risks associated with cigarette smoking. Therefore, the government has a legitimate interest in regulating the advertising of tobacco products.
The banning of cigarette advertising on television is not just driven by concerns over false and misleading information but also the aim to reduce the overall consumption of tobacco products and discourage individuals, particularly young people, from starting smoking. Research has shown that exposure to tobacco advertising can influence people's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to smoking.
Furthermore, it is worth considering that freedom of expression in a democracy is not absolute. Certain restrictions may be placed on speech in the interest of public health, safety, or the protection of vulnerable populations. This principle allows the government to exercise control over the advertising of harmful products, ensuring that citizens are not misled or harmed by false or deceptive advertisements.
In many democratic countries, including the United States, the banning of cigarette advertising on television has been implemented through legislation or regulations. Such bans aim to strike a balance between individual freedom of expression and the need to protect public health.
In summary, the banning of cigarette advertising on television is consistent with the necessities of controlling false and misleading advertisements of illegal products. This measure aligns with the government's responsibility to protect its citizens and promotes public health in a democratic society.
