    That should fix the problem. See normally I spend money on fuel because of ads and just burn it on my front yard for no reason but because the ads are gone I will only use the minimum amount moving forward. Good job UN

      It will at least curtail some of greenwashing they do to keep their stock price up. Also in the case of cigarettes it helped reduce cigarette usage even though people already have their preferred brand generally use.
