Advertising on radio and television has been banned for 30 years, which limits their exposure to teens. Additionally, peers have a stronger influence on teens' behavior than media does. Teens are more likely to be influenced by their friends' actions and opinions than by advertisements they see or hear on television or radio. Teens also tend to pay more attention to the immediate social environment they are in, rather than media messages.
