Hey guys (:
Hope all is well with everyone.
I was youtubing some videos for our project and found some really great stuff. We took a whole different approach to the whole cigarette advertising and found some really interesting information. And even though there is so much information of what cigarettes do to a person and how unhealthy and bad cigarettes are, the majority of people that smoke have only gone down a little since smoking advertising has been banned. Some companies have even used the ban in their favour and used a more of a psychological approach to encouarge people to smoke. The banning of cigarettes was gradual, they first ban advertising on the radio and TV, then banned advertising on billboards and in magazines and it progressed until all media advertising was banned.
We also found real interesting information on the youtube videos. We found some videos on what cigarettes do to a person and showed people who smoke (my mom, dad, gran) and they said how digusting it was but they didn't stop. The truth wasn't enough to make them give up their addiction.
Promotional advertising of cigareettes have been banned but the 'bad' people in movies nowadays smoke which loosing tranlates into that only 'bad/evil' people smoke and that appeals to the rebellion of teenagers and people who consider themselves daredevils or people that think they are 'cool' if they smoke and it doesn't affect them visibly. But of course it does.
Some videos also state that doctors smoke more than average people, and who wouldn't trust a doctor right?
Here are some really interesting youtube videos:
Goodluck everyone for the rest of your project, hope all goes well (:
See everyone on Monday.
Nina.
