Advertising can be deceptive but not all advertising is deceptive. You need to develop an ability to evaluate what you are being told. Two old sayings apply to your question, "Let the buyer beware" and "Knowledge is Power". It's up to you, the individual, to be responsible for what you believe and what you don't.

No, it is not legal to use bait and switch tactics in marketing and advertising. This deceptive practice involves advertising a product or service at a low price to attract customers, only to then try to sell them a different, usually more expensive, item. This is considered false advertising and is prohibited by consumer protection laws.

Deceptive advertising is "deceiving" or "tricking" consumers into buying a certain product or service, an example would be "Filling", where they add weight to a product to make the legal weight heavier by using low cost substances. False advertising is simply stating something that differs from the actual use of the product or facts about it.
