The short answer is yes. Commercial speech is protected by
the First Amendment. But answers dealing with the
constitution are never short. Although commercial speech is
due first amendment protection, because of its commercial
nature, the Supreme Court has held that its regulation by
government is not subject to the same degree of scrutiny as
non-commercial speech. A significant chunk of the year long
Constitutional Law class in law school is devoted to an
analysis of the varying standards of review that are
applicable to various types of speech, including commerical
speech.
