Should Smoking Be Harmful?

Anti-smoking advertisements occasionally pop up throughout our society which is often showing the viewers the harmful effects of tobacco through startling images. This advertisement uses the elements of ethos, pathos, and logos in order to make people rethink about smoking. The video advertisement uses children to make a point across by showing real scenarios on the effects of smoking. It shows that the commonplace for smoking, in today’s time, is acceptable for teenagers to smoke and jump to an assumption that children are starting to try it. Once the children are introduced into this advertisement pathos is

As well, this ad is using causation to demonstrate that since the mother herself is a smoker, her son is learning from her habits. Lastly, tying it all together is an appeal to pathos. With all we know about the dangers of smoking, many if not all parents hope that their children do not pick up this habit. This infomercial leverages that worry of smoking to showcase the risks and convince parents to quit smoking

The image of how many lives affected by smoking can be a difficult one to capture properly. The image of people who are living their lives slowly becoming the worthless smoke of just another cigarette can cause the viewer, perhaps for the first time, to see clearly that the effects of smoking can go further than they first thought. While lighting a cigarette, it is doubtful the average smoker thinks much about the damage done, not only to themselves, but to those around them as well. Your public service message implies that the second hand smoke the average smoker exhales so easily is just as damaging to those nearby as to the person smoking. This may be difficult to imagine, but the fact still stands that with every puff, with every breath out damage can be inadvertently done to a hapless bystander.

At the beginning of the video it shows a picture of her when she young without any problems or disabilities. She is still fairly young in the video, 51, which shows how harmful smoking is. Roughly twenty to thirty years of smoking affected her in a severe way. This advertisement is mainly directed to the youth of today and people who are still smoking. I feel the ad is meant to scare people in a way to stop them from consuming tobacco products. There has been a study done that link tobacco and poverty or low income citizens. Tobacco and poverty low income people smoke more and die more from tobacco use.

In 1865, although Washington Duke may have created a product that will probably never go out of business, it still has a big effect on our people today and could be a bigger problem for generations to come. Cigarettes have been smoked for a long time now and it hasn't slowed down, even when smokers know what can happen. However I don't think they really understand how much it affects their body and the stress they put on there lungs. Smoking kills and shouldn't be allowed in the USA because of the death rate it has behind it.

Smoking is often viewed as a bad thing that definitely affects your health, but some teens believe that when you begin to smoke you become more popular. “90 percent of smokers began before the age 19 and about 30 percent of teen smokers continued smoking and died early from a smoking-related disease. On average, these smokers died 13 to 14 years earlier than nonsmokers” (“11 Facts about Teen Smoking”). The idea of smoking is a very controversial topic in communities and the legal smoking age needs to be raised to an age where smoking won’t affect you in some of the harsh ways it affects teens. Yes, it is obvious that smoking will still affect a person some. The age for buying and using tobacco should be raised to 25.

People have been constantly made aware of the dangers of smoking their whole lives. The warnings are shown in blaring, edgy commercials, obscenely blunt labels, and methodically indoctrinated through numerous programs at schools. Despite this, people still choose to smoke and callously ignore the unending dire warnings that smoking is a leading cause of cancer, numerous other debilitating health problems, bad personal hygiene and social disgrace. Most people however, are also very much unaware that smoking can have adverse effects on the animals around them. The advertisement “Catmageddon” presented by Truth Orange does a powerful job in persuading young adults to not smoke though the use of logos, pathos, and ethos.

A cigarette is a small cylinder like filled with cut tobacco leaves and rolled in a paper and ignited for smoking. In most countries, tobacco smoking is legal due to the businesses motives and also the people who are addicted. They cannot do without it. It has immense consequences, and it should, therefore, be illegal from the effects to the smokers, passive smokers and all the human beings due to the pollution of the environment. The following are some of the consequences from smoking tobacco:

Smoking is a dangerous and powerful thing. A lot of people are addicted which is not good for their health. When they smoke they are risking their lives and others.

To this day several people continue to smoke even after they are shown the effects and harm that they are doing to their own body and the risks that come from it. After several years of smoking their lives away people become diagnosed with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, this is a disease that makes it harder for people to breathe. The disease only progresses if you continue to smoke and remains untreated and can lead to heart failure and even death. More than 16 million people in the United States of America have been diagnosed with a smoking-related disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “nearly 17 out of every 100 U.S. American adults at the age of 18 or older currently smoke cigarettes.” Smoking doesn’t

Today people are suffering from other people’s choices. This will affect friends and family by giving them lung cancer and disease . This addiction is harming the lives of others. It is the problem in our society today. Smoking should be illegal.

It shows the fact that children get affected by the smoke, due to multiple things. Especially if they have breathing problems or asthma. The effects that smoking has on children is drastic and the ad not only exposes the child’s emotions with the facial expressions, but it causes the audience to get in touch with their emotions as well.

If you had the choice to do something knowing that it could kill you, would you still do it? Tobacco kills more than seven billion people each year but people still continue to smoke. Smoking is a bad habit that should be broken because it is bad for your health, damages your appearance, and effects those around you as well.

Today 17.8% of Americans are smokers either currently quitting, struggling to quit, or do not want to quit smoking at all. There are many health warning messages on the packs, but we wonder, why do people still take the risk to smoke? A new solution to this problem that is being advertised, and is becoming popular amongst people is a product called Blu. Blu is known as an electronic cigarette that contains no tobacco, getting rid of the bad part to real cigarettes, however the product still contains nicotine which is the addictive part to cigarettes. This product is intended for smokers ages 18 and up to give them a better option to continue smoking without the horrible smell that comes out of the “death sticks”. What this advertisement is trying to accomplish is that they want current smokers to make the switch to Blu without actually quitting permanently. However after learning more about this product I believe that is not the only reason to switch to Blu because since this product contains lesser ingredients than a real cigarette, it’s a lot healthier option for smokers even smokers who are trying to quit, and I believe Blu is another solution on how to cut down.

The picture made by Child Health Foundations has a little girl and a background and small letters saying “children of parents who smoke, see heaven earlier” is introducing us as the viewers that children at a young age are dying because of their parents irresponsibility to do unhealthy things in front of their child like smoking, this ad adem by Child Health Foundation is showing us this because of the smoke halo above the child showing that secondhand smoke is going to be the reason of the death of this harmless child.This type of picture makes the viewers put their own child in the place of the child in the picture and seeing how they would feel if they left their baby with someone who smokes in front of their child and they are sent
