After the Labelling Act of 1965, companies were ‘forced’ to place warning labels on their packaging: Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous To Your Health. These vague, flimsy words proved more potent than any armor against the…

Before going to college, I…

Many industries promote this mentality by convincing men that their products will increase their masculinity, specifically the daring and adventurous aspects of it. For example, the Marlboro Man; the modern renaissance man otherwise known as the cowboy, which is iconic for independence and capability in the wilderness. Another example is the advertisements for Axe Body Spray, which shows a male wearing the cologne;…
Tobacco products are very popular amongst people and have been for many years. It is not like a fad where it is popular for a while and then people forget about it. What makes it so popular?

Rather than watching the football game, spending time with loved ones, or simply taking the dog for a walk, millions of Americans waste precious time by smoking cigarettes. More often than not, smokers are aware of the side effects that smoking has on the lungs, but continue to ignore the precautions until it’s too late. “The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that 224,210 Americans developed lung cancer in 2014, 116,000 men and 108,210 women. Of these patients, 159,260 will die of the…
Fast Food Is The New Tobacco and Many Americans are Addicted Fast food is the new tobacco, and sadly, many Americans have become addicted.

Fast food is negatively affecting our society mostly because of how readily accessibly it always is,…
