As stated, (graphic) design does not equal marketing. Graphic design is but a tool. One of the tools marketing use to design an increase in sale. The whole "guns don't kill people marketers do" argument.
But you have a choice. Every consumer does. If man were completely free of vanity, greed, envy, what have you, marketing (or more to your point: advertising) would simply fade away. Ads would be ignored. You'd only go for what you need. There would be less strain on the environment because we wouldn't overproduce. We'd eventually have world peace, so on. But let's not get into communistic or religious territory here. Let's just face it: humans are flawed - and why not bank on it?
To suit the moral dilemma you would find that, ultimately, most paying jobs plays on those or any of the other fine, cardinal sins available.
