Same. I go out of my way to learn how to get around ads. I often wonder, especially now with autism and sensory issues being more highlighted, when will start realizing ads in this overwhelming capacity are absolutely a health issue. Sensory issue are real, and an ad shouldn't have to give people seizures before it's considered unhealthy.

Ha, yeah I wish a more concrete link could be made between the stance society has taken with smoking and apply it to visual/auditory pollution.

People are allowed to smoke as long as it's not being forced upon other people (based on they both have equal rights). What about a right not to be bombarded with garbage every minute while you're in public? I can't see this going my way...
