There have shown that 101 countries, which are high-income, middle-income and low-income countries, take most actions on the TV, radio and print media (WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2011). What is more, according to the Data 6 of comparing the countries that ban all kind of the cigarettes advertisements and those that are not which is taken from the Worldbank on public health, it is noticeable that the country which take the banning action could decrease much more amount of tobacco consumption than those which are not such as the downward trend of cigarette consumption from over 1700 in 1981 to under 1500 per capita in 1991 (Measures To Reduce The Demand For Tobacco, 2011). By looking at these data, it is obvious that banning the cigarettes advertisement is an effective way that can help reducing the cigarettes

Cigarette ad companies spend approximately $8.95 billion on cigarette advertising and promoting a year. On the flip side just a sixteenth of that amount promotes smoking as a hazard. Although smoking is usually depicted as a cool and enjoyable experience, this ad shows the negative effects of smoking. The ad has a unique way of putting a sense of fear in the viewer and gives smokers a straightforward message to beware of the risk that smoking brings.

A non-smoking ad that I recently came across shows a very strong message. The ad shows a man’s hands loading a gun with cigarettes. On the side of the picture it gives a list of thing that happen from smoking cigarettes. The last thing is a bold statement saying, “Smoking Kills ….so why bother starting”.

The print ad appeals to logic by providing three key facts: nicotine, which is present in substances vaped, causes asthma, less immunity, and severe addiction; girls think that fruit flavors are less harmful than tobacco flavors, but they both contain nicotine and similar amounts of harmful materials; third, vaping causes brain and egg damage. Additionally, the advertisement appeals to the audience’s ethical appeal by presenting the FDA’s name which boosts the ad’s credibility. The Food and Drug Administration has been established for 111 years, is associated with the government, and has an annual budget of $4.36 billion. Furthermore, Emma Watson provides a role model figure for many girls, and by utilizing her clean image, the ad portrays the idea that girls can follow in her footsteps and be like

Tinkler argues cigarette advertisements aimed at women were preoccupied with establishing smoking as a feminine practice. In the 1930s, smoking was utilised to signify that women were “modern”. One brand specifically aimed at the female market used the strapline ‘Red Tips for Red Lips’ a marketing notion that the inclusion of a red tip prevented lipstick marking the cigarette and thus enabled men to ‘preserve their beautiful illusions….’ . In promoting their products to women the aim was to create a notion that smoking was a practice that appealed to modern, fashionable, successful, middle-class femininity. However, despite gift-wrapping cigarettes as an embellishment to the female persona smoking was perceived as causing soreness to the

Views change over time, however the usage of visual rhetoric remains the same and with these two smoking advertisements it becomes evident. Advertisements (ads) are a very powerful tool when it comes to persuasion through its use of visual rhetoric such as color schemes and how the use of the images will be perceived by the intended audience. One of the ads I chose was a modern anti-smoking image, more specifically an anti-smoking ad against smoking and the effect of second-hand smoke. Second hand smoke is the smoke exhaled by the smoker. The other ad I chose was a pro-smoking image from the 1950s.

There is a big controversy about how unethical it is that tobacco companies continue to market to young consumers. Some say that the tobacco companies are responsible for making attractive advertising that shows using tobacco products is cool when in reality it can cause harm or even death. The Bible teaches, “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,” Psalms 1:1 New International Version. Decisions, influences, and target marketing are some of the ways that companies use unethical marketing practices. Understanding the behavior of young consumers helps create a marketing mix for purchasing decisions.

Moreover, multimedia lead teenagers to smoke which makes them more “mature” and “sophisticated.”

In 2001 the government of India stated that it will soon pass a bill “banning tobacco companies from Advertising their products and sponsoring sports and cultural events.” The reason for the ban was to Keep young adults away from tobacco products, and from consuming it.

The laws and regulations in different cultures directly affect tobacco consumption use, and can drastically alter the number of smokers and people affected by secondhand smoke.

Scotland, England, France, and Argentina are only a few of many countries which have banned smoking in public areas (WHO, 2016).

In the 1970s the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) came to the conclusion after several hearings and research that it’s unfair and deceptive to advertise to younger children under six years old. When a child is under the age of eight years, they are cognitively and psychologically defenseless against the advertising that is pushed to them on a daily basis. Being a part of the advertising major at the Penn State University has really opened up my eyes to how much work and research is put into targeting groups and how to format the advertisements in a way that will make them more likely to purchase the product. Personally, I feel like advertising isn’t an unethical thing to do. I believe that
