Intentionally targets children?

The fact that it is illegal for children is what is going to give them the most appeal.

They geared their advertising specifically towards adolescents. Any targeted group subjected to to advertising is affected by it. In the case of children, they are especially vulnerable to advertising. In much of Europe, it's not legal to advertise anything directly to children, much less addictive drugs.
