Government regulates vices like gambling

And liquor, tobacco, and drugs and prostitution which are even more heavily controlled.

So why does the FCC and FDA allow gambling to advertise, thus encouraging the use of the very product that is being limited by this regulation?

My guess is regulations around gambling advertising, which are egregious in their "gambling is fun" display, will happen once one of our politicians families ends up in a gambling fiasco. But I fully agree with this essay and have been shocked at the lack of enforcement thus far for all the reasons mentioned.

Because the politicians want the tax revenue. Here in Connecticut, the state gets 25% of the slots.
