Ep 103 - Why Harry Levant Denounces the Gambling Industry for Prioritizing Greed Over Safety?
In this final installment of his story, Harry Levant brings us up to date on the current fight for education and reform regarding the gambling industry's rapid ingestion and prolific supply. He uses a well-known understanding of nicotine addiction and the effectiveness of its second-hand smoke campaign to illustrate how pervasive gambling marketing is and how we must address the multiple elephants in the room if we wish, as a society, to support the millions in need of help.
This episode was eye-opening for me, as I hope it is for you, on the outright false advertising prolific in national marketing, sports arenas, and more.
Recently thanks to having these conversations where Harry opened my eyes to gambling advertisements, I saw my first gambling ad on Hulu while watching Alaska Daily.
I offer myself grace, as I do my clients when I meet them, "what we know is what we know, until we learn more."
Join us as we learn more about the damaging state of gambling advertising and how we can support each other in recovery.
