Smoking Cigarettes Should Be Legal

The campaign educates the smoker who is trying to quick with advice which will give them a clear understanding on how their health is at risk and the consequences that it will have

This advertisement was clearly designed to conjure a response from its audience, which are both smokers and non-smokers alike. In the non-smoking audience, the image will either increase their distaste of smoking and its negative health effects, or they will be unconcerned because it has little or no effect on them or their lives. The audience it would appeal most to is the people who vehemently oppose cigarettes and smoking. People like this may believe that anti-smoking ads will reach smokers and somehow convince them to quit, but this is probably not the case. To smokers, the image will be a reminder of the harm they are doing to their bodies. But for the most part, they will likely be indifferent to the image because they already know it’s bad for their health, and will continue to smoke because they are either addicted or are just apathetic to the situation. They may even find ads such as this obnoxious and unoriginal because they feel as if it’s repetitive and a personal attack on them and their views and habits. Because smoking is seen as such a bad thing in U.S. society, they may detach themselves from advertisements that contradict what they believe is okay.

The ad was published in September 2008 in Russia by the agency BBDO Moscow, with the brand name CSI. BBDO is a worldwide advertising company that advertise's, not only anti-tobacco, but many other products such as Band-Aid brand and Snickers; mainly sticking with current events. This is where the credibilty lies, BBDO seems to advertise a lot of products, but not about many issues/causes such as anti-tobacco. However, this group has earned many recognitions such as, “Most effectice network in the world” and many “Network of the year” 's. As well as “Most awarded agency network in the world”, therefore this leads me to believe their ethos is pretty good. But, i am not sure how committed the agency is to anti-tobacco campaigns since they also have other products being advertised and do not take donations nor really contribute to the community ( other than creating and publishing the ads). I do believe the ads are making an impact in many countries; such as Algeria and Pakistan and many other regions of the world. Otherwise the agency wouldn't have recieved that many awards/recognitions, especially the ones with “world”

We know that smoking is bad and what ingredients they put in a cigarette, but why do people still do it. This advertisement was called by many throughout the internet, “the best anti-smoking ad ever”. This campaign filmed children walking up to adult smokers, asking them for a light. Every adult took the opportunity to remind the children

Some may remember when the NHS health campaigns were exactly that; health campaigns, not commercials. Their primary objective was to inform the audience of the dangers of smoking and drug

Smoking continues to be an increasing problem in both the United States and around the world. Advertisements of many types continue to aid in lowering the use of cigarettes by teenagers. In this advertisement, published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many rhetorical devices are used to help appeal to the audience’s senses, understanding, and perception on smoking cigarettes. Using a young woman in the advertisement shifts the focus towards teenagers that smoke cigarettes, have thought about smoking, or have been around others that do smoke. With the incorporation of the FDA’s “The Real Cost” campaign logo, facts about the outcome of smoking, and the photograph of the young girl's face, this advertisement serves the purpose of grabbing the attention of teenagers that use cigarettes and warns them of the negative outcomes of smoking by using certain appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos.

In the commercial created by the CDC “Terrie’s ad” a woman is in a hospital bed speaking against smoking cigarettes. Her voice is very difficult to understand, her skin has detrimentally changed, and the imagery portrayed is very disturbing to the audience. Terrie claims she started smoking as a teenager, and it is eventually released that she dies at the age of fifty-three from cancer. The purpose of this commercial is to stop people from smoking, ideally before they start. To reach this goal the creators of the video utilize multiple rhetorical appeals in an attempt to get across to the audience.

Cigerettes cause cancer, they suppress immune functions, they wrinkle skin, and they can also can cause gum diease. These are all researchable facts about how smoking can affect an individual. By including these facts in the advertisment the Stamp Out Smoking marketers are taking a ethical appoarch. By including facts in the advertisment it makes the ad more crediable. Crediability is extremely important whne advertising anything; if viewers do not believe they can trust you they will be less inclined to take ads seriously. It is always essential to establish crediabilty when

Commercials are used to target a wide variety of audiences and the television is the perfect way to do so, however this particular commercial is targeting a much more specific audience. Its main audience is teens and young adults. We know this for many reasons; one is the teens in the classroom. Another is the use of a hideous creature to represent the cigarettes. Teens who may be in the situation to choose to smoke or using smokeless tobacco will see these visual representations of what they are putting into their bodies and turn the other way. Another possible audience could be adults and parents. They are less

A quick glance of this innocent looking ad might give you a false impression and cause confusion onto the brightness of the advertisement. When a person thinks of cigarettes, happiness isn't what comes to mind. In some cases it might. Cigarettes might be someone’s escape and the only thing that they look forward to in a day or make them happy. But in other cases to some people, cigarettes are tied in

Throughout this, the advertisement will reveal the danger of smoking cigarettes and promote smokers to quit. The ad was created to invoke a response from its audience which is smokers and non-smokers. In the non-smoking audience, the ad will try to decrease their compulsion to smoke. After witnessing the anti-smoking commercial and seeing the harmful health conditions former smokers are in, non-smokers shouldn’t want to be in that position. Others may feel as if this ad doesn’t concern them because they don’t smoke or it has little to no effect on their lives. This group may also feel that this video should convince smokers to want to quit, but it’s most likely not the case. To smokers, the image will only remind them of what harm they’re doing to their bodies. Smokers would also become apathetic to the commercial because they’re already informed about the consequences and addiction of smoking. Smokers may also look at the advertisement as a personal attack simply because smoking is viewed as such a bad thing in the United

The ad was distributed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A federal agency that conducts and supports health promotion, prevention and preparedness activities in the United States with the goal of improving overall public health. Established in 1946 and based in Atlanta, the CDC is managed by the Department of Health and Human Services. In their commercials CDC uses real life stories to portray the effects of smoking cigarettes. My ad will be focusing on former smoker Terrie Hall.

“Smoking is the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S., killing over 1,300 people per day.” (ALA). I chose to talk about the harmful effects of tobacco products. The commercial from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), because I think it greatly identifies the harmful effects of smoking tobacco. This commercial shows a women that was a former smoker, and the effects she deals with now.

In addition, I felt astonished by who the companies were targeting. Particularly, my astonishment arose when I read that one of the target groups for advertisement were doctors themselves. In detail, Part Four of The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee stating that including doctors engendered reassurance to other consumers that smoking cigarettes are safe (251). Surely, after reading that information, I felt astonished and cringed due to knowing how tobacco causes cancer and with my impression of doctors being health fanatics, I found myself in a state of shock. Nonetheless, I had wondered where the strategy of targeting audience came from and I ought to acknowledge that targeting audience is a brilliant idea, however, I felt that tobacco companies being the target is truly the devil in its

Smoking tobacco has been a part of American culture since its very conception. Throughout our history, tobacco has been advertised as a simple pleasure for those who seek it out. Whether you are sitting on the porch with a couple of friends or in a dimly lit jazz club, tobacco ads give off a false sense of comfort, power, and success. Until around the mid-1900’s, smoking cigarettes was not considered unhealthy. It was only later that the public realize the detrimental health consequences that came with smoking tobacco. To spread this information, specific advertisements were aired to help inform the public of the dangers of smoking. While these ads have changed over time, the same message and warning still remains evident.
