You can't stop your ISP from selling your browsing habits but you can certainly stop those that your data is sold to in their tracks. Ad buyers will only send money to a company if their ads are clicked on and sales are made.

There are millions who can hardly tell a keyboard from a kumquat, and studies show a subset of them account for most ad clicks. It will take legislation to stop this sort of thing. The best approach is educating people - naive users being offended by the "creepy" factor of ISPs monitoring and selling user data is the biggest weapon against this.
