Banning advertisement seemed to work for smoking.

Why do you think it would be ineffective here?

I'm also curious on how you think we might tackle these issues.

The parent comment called for banning all advertising, not for banning ads promoting social media platforms.

They don’t want anyone to be able to advertise anything. Not even your local contractors trying to advertise their businesses that you want to find, because that’s advertising.

The tobacco ad ban isn’t relevant to what was claimed.

This wasn't my reading of it, but it does appear that's what GP meant. I don't agree with that. Even so, if you were interested in having a good faith discussion about solutions here, you might have responded to both interpretations.

You may consider this me putting forth the suggestion as an answer to your question, if you must.
