How Tobacco Advertising Influences Young People.

Although tobacco advertisements are banned, people still consume it. The ban started in 1971 and since then has become even more strict on the sponsoring and promotion of tobacco brand logos. Now, all tobacco ads used, dissuade users from consuming. Advertisements in general can be obnoxious and tiresome, but they are sometimes necessary for the seller to get their point across. Ads are either trying to get money from the consumer or driving to change a person’s mind positively. The main reasoning for the creation of advertisements is to persuade the viewer or audience through the evocation of ethos, pathos, and logos, to have a change of mind about the product. The ads I chose are both similar, but have different goals towards their audience.

Tobacco advertisements of sexually objectifying women not only influence men, but they also have an influence on women. However, sometimes it works negatively on women giving women anxiety about their looks. Even after much disapproval advertisements continue to feature thin women in their advertisements, because they believe that thin models sell more than heavier models. It has been proven that merchandise sells better when there is an attractive model on the advertisement. However, it has not been proven whether it must be a thin model.

Throughout the course of this project finding credible sources was challenging at times. My question going in was “Why are children to appealed to tobacco” conducting research regarding that question I found numerous different answers. One answer I didn’t find surprising at all was that children are more appealed to tobacco due to the different kinds of flavors that are on the market. Swisher cigars are flavored and can smell the scent of the flavor as well. Now when a sixteen or seventeen year old gets ahold of those things they’re going to be more attracted to it due to the flavoring. Another possible answer that I believed was most accurate to my question is that children are exposed to tobacco products through numerous different ways. Celebrities

California's legislative experience exemplifies the role of tobacco interests. For instance, Proposition 99, an initiative petition for a 25-cent growth in tobacco tax per package with additional profit devoted to study, needy care, and anti-tobacco education, was accepted by the voters in 1988 only after long and unsuccessful attempt to development tobacco taxation and community education about tobacco over federal regulation (Chaloupka, Straif, and Leon, 236).

One of the largest issues today is adolescent smoking. According to a heath based website, nearly 90% of adult smokers start while they are still teens and they never intend to get hooked. They may start by bumming a cigarette or two from a friend at a party, and then go on to buying an occasional pack. Soon they realize that they can't go without that pack. They've gotten used to reaching for a cigarette first thing in the morning, after meals, or during any stressful time. They become addicted, both physically and psychologically. According to the American Lung Association, each day 6,000 children under the age of 18 smoke their first cigarette. Almost 2,000 of them will become regular smokers – that’s 757, 000 new smokers annually!

This problem of creating a trendy stylish image of cigarettes are hurting many people by recruiting new young smokers from all around the world, winning over sales due to the false image and then addiction. Third world countries are hurt the most by this unethical way of advertising because they don’t have money for this extra expense that they now need due to addiction. Critics claim that sophisticated promotions in a unsophisticated societies entice people who cannot afford the necessities of life to spend money on luxury- and a dangerous one at that. Every cigarette manufacturer is in the image business, and tobacco companies say their promotional slant is both reasonable and common. They point out that in the Third World a lot of people cannot understand what is written in the ads anyway, so the ads zero in on the more understandable visual image. Due to actions such as this and the negative effect it has on people economically and physically, this is a good example of how the tobacco industry is unethical.
