London: So, here’s the scoop. Vicky Pattison and Ercan Ramadan had this wedding video that got banned. Why? Well, it showed smoking in a way that made it look all glamorous and cool. Not exactly the message we want to send, right?
Ramadan shared the video on Instagram, showing him and his groomsmen puffing on cigars. It was all about the suits from his brand, Endrick Clothing, but the focus was clearly on the smoking. Vicky, with her huge following, also shared it later.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) got involved after some complaints. They said the video made smoking look fun and appealing, which is a big no-no. They also pointed out that it didn’t clearly say it was an ad, which is super important.
The ASA concluded that the video was irresponsible and told them to make sure future ads are more socially responsible. Vicky and Ercan tied the knot officially in London and then had a second ceremony in Italy. Quite the love story, but this video? Not so much.
