I think you have a First Amendment problem when attempting to ban truthful,
nondeceptive, advertising. To ban speech based upon the content of the speech, the
governmental regulation must pass the the the least restrictive method of advancing
an important governmental objective (or something like that, I haven't looked at
constitutional law in a very long time). I would suggest that this is a standard
that is almost impossible to meet for truthful speech.
