                                     It misleads the public by giving false statements about the product. (It may be true in some cases but majority of advertisers know the value of honest statements.)

    Creates a dissatisfaction:
                                              It creates tastes and desires for some people whose income may not allow them to buy. Such people feel dissatisfied.

    Creates a monopoly:
