Sneaky advertisement
We all know that cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise their products for the simple reason that the advertisements they broadcast influence the youth and regular smokers to puff. However, we've all seen the anti-smoking commercials by Truth, and still the word is getting out about smoking. It's a very subtle strategy to get smoking on the minds of many. I see a anti-smoking commercial and I think, "I want a cigarette now."
There are many variations of these commercials. Some include imagery of firearms, sex, and milk. I know. How does milk influence you to smoke more? And frankly, I don't know. I haven't done my research. But still! I'm onto Phillip Morris and company. And the only reason suspicions are raised is because I notice the sneakiness of many other advertisements attempting to persuade your attention. So, if you're suspicious of a particular advertisement, ask yourself a few questions:
1. Who is funding the commercial?
2. Refer to question #1.
That's right. Whoever is handing out the dough is the one to focus on. I've seen Truth on television but have you ever seen them in public? Have you ever seen a graphic Truth commercial or one with potential to deter the youth from smoking? No. Most of them are a barrage of words...words which tell lies. Truth? I doubt it. Don't tell the truth. Show the truth is what I say! Thanks for reading. And post here if you suspect any other advertisement tactic.Ganj Reviewed by Ganj on .
