Decent Essays
Some past RAZE commotions have had a wide effect on certain situations. The commotion for Ashtray Art allows students to develop other uses for ashtrays. The Attending Coalition Training program is hosted by a tobacco or substance abuse coalition that will assist prevention techniques. On a small “cheeky” note, a commission, known as the Big Butt Clean-up, has students pick up cigarette butts that have been widely scattered in their favorite parks or picnic spot!

    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.…

    But I felt fulfilled when helping others to change the way they live. Through outreach and community health events, I learned that a surprising number of my peers know nothing about the problems with tobacco. This fact highlighted the importance of my work.

    Cigarettes have been one of the leading cause for why so many lives have been ruin and damage. It has caused many deaths and still is at its all-time high. Doctors have stated that, “the reason behind the high deaths in people who are suffering form lung cancer is because many don’t know how to put the lighter down”. However, I believe that this ad I have chosen to use, made by NHC is calling for people to release themselves from smoking habits and get help, with the uses ethos, logos and pathos to tie the rhetoric aspect and make the advertisement more informative and benefiting.…

Anti-smoking advertisements are seen everywhere, either it be on the side of the highway or on tv commercials. The purpose of these advertisements are to persuade you to stop smoking or not to smoke, by showing you horrible graphics and facts about tobacco use, which are often ignored especially by the people that do smoke. This advertisement shows a very dark picture of a little girl blowing bubbles out of a bubble blower, but the bubbles are cigarette smoke. In the bottom right corner it also says “You smoke.…

    I flick the butt of my half used cigarette to the pavement exhaling its toxic smog. My mother always told me smoking was a filthy habit that I should never have gotten into. She also told me that if I continued to smoke, all of my teeth would drop out and I’d die alone. Bitch. I find it quite amusing that she’d ever think I’d end up with anyone after my track record of one night stands with half the cheerleading squad during my senior year of high school.…

    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.
