All these different brands all share the same flavor; mint. I've chewed all of them before and I can say, they taste exactly the same.

    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.

    In 2010, Old Spice launched a series of humorous commercials featuring Isaiah Mustafa as “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.” They are incredibly successful commercials, albeit strange. Portrayed in them are grandiose and lavish lifestyles featuring costly belongings ranging from gondolas to horses to yachts. The commercials were an overnight success and quickly became a cultural phenomenon, generating significant word-of-mouth buzz online and offline.

The narrator achieves this by specifying the foundations of attractiveness,…

    Each year there are about 480,000 people who die from smoking and about 41,000 of those deaths are caused by exposure to second hand smoke (CDC). Even with statistics like these, there are people out there that continue to smoke or even consider starting. A person may ask “what pull does cigarette smoking have on society and why do people continue to smoke?” For one thing, cigarette ads, especially back in the day, glamorized the whole concept of smoking. They gave off the idea that a person can become as attractive as a runway model or as popular as a celebrity and they can even receive the attention of the opposite sex just by smoking that specific brand of cigarettes.…

    Smoking Ads Through the Years Over the past few hundred years, smoking has been a prominent habit and a huge industry, generating billions of dollars. Now due to change in laws and societal taste, cigarettes and their use of ads to entice buyers have been on the decline. On the other hand, anti-smoking ads have been on the rise. Both of these types of ads, though polar opposite, have used similar tactics to incite change in viewers’ habits, whether it’s to buy their cigarettes, or to quit them altogether.…
