Tobacco industry
Me too. Had a family member die of lung cancer (from smoking) so I just couldn’t do this
Anything that perpetuates diet culture... Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc., but also (as someone who struggled with anorexia as a teen and body image issues on and off as an adult) stuff that using calorie counts as a selling point, has words like “skinny” in the title, etc.
Second this. A lot of people fail to see how serious of an issue diet culture is and instead like to bill it as “health”. Having struggled with anorexia as well there is no way I could add another line into all the messed up messaging that’s already out there.
Defense/military
Same.
Fast food actually. When your family has a history of obesity it just doesn’t sit well
Opiods. Antidepressants. Cigarettes. Basically anything that has significant repercussions on the world.
They can help a lot of people. But advertising them to gen pop has led to massive overprescribing.
Gambling. My brother is an addict so couldn't deal.
But the dealers will.
Religion. My agency pitched the Mormon church once. 🙄
Pharma - I don’t believe that drug companies should be selling their products D2C, and people should have better relationships with their medical professionals (who should also not be incentivized by pharma).
Fuel, tobacco, political, Fox News 😂
They don’t “sell” their products DTC. “People should have better relationships with their medical professionals.” 🤧
This is a genuine question, do you live and work inside the US?
E-cigs. I spent a few weeks in the hospital because of them and the amount of teenagers using them is scary. I can't in good conscience help sell them. Tobacco too.
Political parties or the NRA.
I worked on Trump Hotels (which, coincidentally my fat fingers typed as Hitler). I have no shame.
Crappy processed food/soda. Obesity is biggest global health issue
Fossil fuel eg shell or BP
Meat, beer, guns, football, fast food, Trump.
Sometimes I think I should try to cut trump ads just so I can make them as terrible as possible. Except his ads already are terrible and doesn’t seem to matter 😡
Bottled water (unless it’s bottled in something other than single use plastic)
I worked on fossil fuels for a small while and would love to never do that again.
