Cigarettes are all around us. They’re being sold in our gas stations, small quick markets, displayed in TV shows and movies, and by walking down a busy street, you’ll probably pass a few people with a cigarette between their fingers. However, what you don’t see splashed across the media and television shows, is the horrifying downsides of inhaling the deadly smoke. Everyone knows that “smoking is bad for you,” and few smokers probably read the warning labels on their packs of cigarettes, but what if it was mandatory to display graphic images of what could actually happen to a smoker later down the line? Like diseased lungs, or a tracheotomy tube coming out of somebody’s neck?

Given all the warnings and precautions associated with tobacco products, some people still manage to find reasons to use tobacco products.

Cigarette smoking has been a favorite past time for many Americans. Since the early 1960s, movie stars, models, and our favorite television shows like the Flintstones presented its main characters smoking cigarettes. Then, people began to get sick; lung cancer, throat cancer, heart diseases, and many other diseases were linked to cigarette smoking. The signs and warnings were everywhere. In 1965, 52 years ago, cigarette cartons began to display warning messages to let smokers know of the danger of smoking. Despite this, the tobacco industry, the first known advertiser in the United States, continues to aggressively find ways to target, intellectually and emotionally with their advertisements, consumers. In 1965, Marlboro ran an ad with Paul Hornung (Green Bay halfback), promoting cigarette smoking, making it seem like the cool thing to do. The ad with Hornung uses the window effect, showing the picture of Hornung looking lay back and relax to make people aspire to become like him. Today, cigarettes have received a facelift, in a recent electronic cigarette ad (Ad two) it shows a woman in an appealing bikini, promoting “blu,” a rechargeable electronic cigarette. The ad makes the cigarette seem edgy, “safer,” and sexy. The “blu” ad uses a sexualized image of a woman which uses the window effect also because the ad makes it seem that if you align yourself with” blu” you can get a girl like her.

What is second-hand smoke? Secondhand smoke is a mixture of mainstream smoke (the smoke exhaled by the smoker) and sidestream smoke (the smoke given off by a burning tobacco product). According to Centers of Disease Control, “at least 69 of the toxic chemicals in secondhand tobacco smoke cause cancer.” The problem with secondhand smoke is the effect that it has on others. SHS can cause a variety of cancers and health issues. Mainstream smoke contains smaller chemicals that enter the lungs and blood faster. Imagine what it would be like to have cancer or a major health problem, due to someone else's stupidity. “Secondhand smoke causes 41,000 deaths per year” as claimed by the Centers of Disease Control.
