Annotated Bibliography On Smoking

According to Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), 36.5 million Americans currently smoke, that is about fifteen percent of the population which is equal to the combined population of America’s twenty-five largest cities. Although anti-smoking advertisements are shown throughout the United States, people do not take them seriously half the time. The advertisement in this analysis showcases a grayish background, with the colors focusing mainly on a cigarette box that has the cigarettes put into crayon labels and the box also opens like a crayon box. There is also a child’s writing with crayons saying, “Just like mommy.” From this, the image showcases the dangers of smoking and the causes it has on loved ones. This advertisement uses strong ethos, pathos, and logos to get ASH’s point across very clear.

Tobacco companies should be prevented from using advertising tactics that target teenagers. There has always been controversy as to how tobacco companies should prevent using advertising tactics to target teenagers. As controversial as this is tobacco companies shouldn’t advertise teen smoking. Many teens may be lured to believe cigarette advertising because it has been part of the American Culture for years, magazine ads and the media target young people, and these companies receive a drastic increase financially; however, the advertising by these cigarette companies has disadvantages such as having to campaign against their own company, limiting their cigarette advertising and becoming a controversial dilemma as to encouraging teenagers

To understand the current culture of smoking at Wilkes University, research about smoking among college students was analyzed, a survey was given to the University body, and a national smoke-free day was held to promote a wave of change towards a smoke-free campus culture. During the Fall 2015 semester, the well-being of Wilkes University was improved with the establishment of a smoking policy. The health problems associated with smoking are reasons why establishing policies on college campuses are necessary.It is no secret that smoking tobacco can harm nearly every organ in the body. Specifically, smoking tobacco can cause autoimmune diseases, affect bone density, harm blood cells and damage the function of the heart. It can also negatively

Advertisements are a vital part of any company’s marketing strategy, and are used to inform or persuade an audience about a certain product or service. In fact, North American companies are among the world’s highest advertisers (Boone et al., 2010, 502). Today, an average consumer is exposed to hundreds of advertisements every day. It is when these companies attempt to promote a dangerous product that restrictions must be, and have been put in place. For several years, Canada’s regulations on tobacco advertisements have become stricter, while

Today in American society the social normality of smoking cigarettes is in a rapid decline. It seems with each passing year there are increasing numbers of legislation restricting where people can place advertisement and where smoking is even permitted. Smoking cigarettes for many years was a focal point in American culture projecting the image of this prosperous social status obtainable for everyone. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, the creators of the “Newport Pleasure!” Advertisement heavily takes this progressive movement into consideration when creating the illusion that smoking is socially accepted. The R.J Reynolds Tobacco Company’s advertising campaign connects the use of logos and pathos extremely and effectively displaying their message. In order to recreate the social normality of smoking advertisers select a wide range of healthy-socially-active youth, place a campaign slogan that their consumers are unable to miss, and heavily doctor the focal elements of this advertisement.

In the article “Recall of Anti-Tobacco Advertisements and Effects on Quitting Behavior: Results from the California Smokers Cohort” the authors try to research if anti-tobacco television advertisements with personal message can be recall by the person and have a greater impact on smoking cessation. The authors felt that this was an important topic to study because they were concern about the dangers of smoking tobacco. According to Leas et al. (2015) “Nondaily smoking and second-hand smoke exposure can lead to the same negative health consequences that result from daily smoking”(p.90). As a result, the authors engage in a cohort study where they use anti-tobacco advertisements to see which advertisement has a greater recall on smokers, and haves greater effect on smoking cessation.

These campaigns include media- based and other strategies to raise awareness among public about risk associated with smoking. “Australia has been considered as a world’s leader in production and broadcasting of mass media campaigns to reduce smoking and first employed tobacco control mass media campaign in 1970s”. During 1980s, mass- media led anti-smoking campaign was conducted in Sydney and Melbourne (Pierce JP, 1986) . During the first year of the campaign, Sydney showed a marked decrease of 2.5 % in prevalence of smoking rate (Dwyer T, 1986). A similar result was seen in Melbourne campaign in its first year of campaign. This decline continued over the next 4 years for men in both cities (Pierce JP M. P., 1990). In Australia, led mass media campaigns have resulted in reduction in prevalence of smoking both in terms of smokers to quit smoking and in reducing the uptake of smoking among children.

Tobacco cigarettes have been around for a long time and is the leading cause of preventable illness and death in the United States. Many people start to smoke cigarettes when they are in high school and continue on throughout their adult lives. Many teenagers see advertising for cigarettes on television or on billboards and they may start to have some curiosity about cigarettes that makes them want to try them.

There is an irrefutable correlation between the increasing effects of secondhand smoke on the health and well being of human beings that are constantly in the vicinity of smokers. Evidently, secondhand smoking has undeniably become problematic for a plethora of intense, health-altering reasons that include but are not limited to diseases and early death that are caused to nonsmokers by secondhand exposure from the burning of tobacco. Even the smallest, briefest amount of secondhand exposure causes immediate health implications. Laws that prohibit smoking in public places have been proven to directly improve the health of people in those areas. Secondhand smoking causes an increased risk for heart disease, stroke, SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), asthma, and lung cancer. Annually, over 45,000 nonsmokers die from implications brought about by secondhand smoking. 34,000 of these deaths are deaths from heart disease, 8,000 from stroke, and 7,300 from lung cancer. People of lower socioeconomic status are much more likely to smoke which therefore puts minorities at a higher

While Sanders-Jackson et al., (2015a) examined the effects of televised warning statements, Villanti et al. (2015) focused on the impact of print advertisements. Villanti et al. (2015) conducted a randomized controlled trial in a national sample of young adults (ages 18-34) from an online panel survey in 2013. Possibly inspired by the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act of 1969 banning cigarette ads in the media, this article examined

Even though millions are spent to educate Americans about the harmful effects of smoking, millions still continue to smoke. A survey by the Center of Disease Control reported that 21 percent,
