    Advertisements are deceiving; cigarette companies use them to target consumers of different social statuses, race, and ages. The majority of the ads portray an image that makes the consumer believe that if they use their product they will look or be as happy as the person shown in the ad. Yet many ads do not show the side effect that their product can have or the effect it can cause on the consumers health. For example in my ad, it tries to convince young adults to buy Newport cigarettes. The ad targets young adults of all races, making them believe that if they smoke Newport cigarettes they will look as healthy, have a good time, and be cool around their friends and peers when in reality it is not true, therefore this ad is ineffective.…

    This ad is very creative in the message it's attempting to convey. It takes a tobacco companies' advertisements and cleverly uses it to present possible outcomes for smokers, or those that may decide to start smoking. Additionally, it adds subtle additions such as the glasses, which in the original ad suggested a level of coolness for smokers, and the wording of the Surgeon General's message typically attached to a pack of cigarettes. The author uses pathos to induce an emotional reaction, namely fear of cancer, as the overhaul ad suggests. It furthers this reaction with the use of the glasses and Surgeon General's message, suggesting that smoking is not cool, and that smoker's potential is impacted when deciding to smoke.…

    With the audience mostly consisting of young adults, this ad portrays a normal young man as the main character, encouraging the audience to relate to him. The then shocking scene of him prying out his tooth provokes a sense of alarm in viewers who originally could have easily seen themselves in his position. The association between themselves and forcefully causing themselves pain is shocking to young viewers and compels them to reevaluate their habits. Fear and disgust are some of the most influential emotions that cause individuals to actively make a change in their lives. The cashier’s statement, “see you again,” is another powerful appeal to the audience’s emotions because smokers can relate to the pitiful and constant cycle of tobacco addiction and continuous purchase of more and more…

    1. Looking at commercial advertising of boy and girl’s toys; girl’s commercials played soft musical tune, while boy’s toy commercials had more of a rock and roll musical tune. Furthermore, the media enforced general roles to the viewers by only including males in boy’s toy commercials and females in girl’s toy commercials. The settings for boy’s toy commercials were usually outside and consisted of darker colors. In addition, they included toy weapons and/or action figures (males with large muscles) that provoked thoughts of violence.…

    Almost 20% of adults in the United States smoke cigarettes which is now the number one cause of death that is simply avoidable.

In the ninth inning, with two outs, Bryson swung his smooth, glossy bat and slammed the pearl-white baseball far beyond the outfield. Viewers gazed as the ball gracefully floated through the calm, marmalade sky towards the towering Marlboro billboard. Broadcasting cameras followed the ball, and the tobacco advertisement filled the television screens of baseball fanatics across the nation. After the game ended, thousands of adults and teens who saw the advertisement smoked cigarettes because they associated the excitement of the home run with the tobacco product.…

    This analysis inspired Bernays and Lee to create publicity for cigarettes. They hired beautiful women to walk in the prominent Easter parade in New York. They were all waving a lit cigarette and wearing a banner that said “torch of liberty.” Decades of cigarette advertising and promotion continued into the 1950s with the aid of magazines, billboards, TV, movies and radio. With the help of Hill, his co-workers, and other public relations, the Tobacco industry sold more cigarettes then the past years.…

    This ethical appeal carries his argument in a positive light, and never leaves you in the dark, which further strengthens it. When he expresses concern of the way companies target children in their marketing, a reader will understand and be on his side. With in depth insight of the companies wanting loyal-for-a-lifetime customers and including phrases used by companies like “cradle-to-grave”, Schlosser manages to build distrust to fast food businesses in the reader. He further strengthens the distrust when he includes other unsuccessful marketing campaigns that were aimed at children, either by using a cartoony mascot, or being direct on it being a product for kids. By detailing ads for cigarettes, that used a cartoony mascot called Joe Camel, and including details like “nearly all of America’s six-year-olds could identify Joe Camel, who was just as familiar to them as Mickey Mouse” he manages to stain any practice of marketing for kids in the reader’s mind.…

    Also, the Marlboro brand name and the picture of the marlboro cigarettes give the ad credibility as well, as Marlboro is a widely recognized brand. Although minimal in this ad, there is also some logical appeal, however flawed it may be. This use of logic is an example of logos, as it suggests that if you smoked normal cigarettes, which are much more harsh, you wouldn’t be able to smoke whenever you liked. However, if you smoke marlboro, you will never feel over-smoked and will be able to fit a cigarette in whenever you need…
