I'll reply with a popular joke that should apply to the three current replies about "why would that be bad":

"The doctor told me to stop drinking, smoking and having sex. I asked him if it would make me live longer and he said: no, but the time will feel longer."

So just optimise for what you want, but forbidding these sort of things forces others to leave the same dull life you want to live.

Right, but forbidding advertising them is very different to forbidding them. The idea is to allow people to make a freer choice about what they truly want rather than being influenced into doing them.
