The documentary talks about how America no longer allows cigarette and tobacco ads and commercials, instead the country focuses scare tactic ads that stop people from smoking or keeps them from starting.

Advertisement tactics, stress factors and, the unavoidable downfall of abstinence from tobacco products all create the foundation of correlation between poverty and smoking.
