What's wrong with "deceptive" advertising?

Article Abstract:

The adoption of deceptive advertising strategies does not pose serious moral implications on firms, as it creates negligible harm on consumers or competitors. Furnishing consumers with misleading information does not necessarily mean that they would buy the product. In the same manner, achieving gains through misleading advertisement does not translate to a loss to industry competitors. However, the practice of deceptive advertising must be discouraged since it creates adverse moral implications to the society, as a whole.
