These techniques need to go away and have people start telling the

After analyzing the ad, there are many different fallacies, however the major fallacies noted were slippery slope, generalizing, and appeal to pity. One major fallacy was the slippery slope.

The advertisement posted on this assignment was an Anti-Smoking ad that has become viral through Thailand. In the visual you can see children approaching random pedestrians who are smoking and asking if they can participate with them.
