The ad for Joe Camel cigarettes has created quite a bit of controversy since its first arrival in the United States; the number one question, was the ad targeting children or adults? Joe Camel was created in 1974, in Europe by Nicholas Price who was a British artist. This ad was done for a French advertising agency and was used in other countries during the 1970s. Old Joe was the original name that was used and was found on Camel packs going back to 1913. During a campaign that marked the 75th anniversary in 1998 the cartoon became a household name. Joe Camel became a recognized brand selling clothing, hats, and cigarette merchandise which continue to sell at much higher prices. According to a study published by the Journal of the American

We can see vapor cigarettes everywhere these days, even becoming a media spotlight. They are advertised in many ways, from an alternative to smoking to a miracle product that has the ability to cure the habit forever. However, the only problem with these claims is that not all of them might be accurate, as far as critics are concerned. To get a good insight on this matter, let us take a look at its pros and cons.
In the 50’s and early 60’s was when tv’s first became popular. It seemed as if they were trying to pitch the idea of tv’s to people. Even though very few can tell The Jetsons aired in color but most tv’s could only be seen in black and white. As seeing that we are on the topic of trying to sell ideas The Flintstones would smoke Winston Cigarettes in order to get people to buy them. Both shows also had pets that were to act as dogs.
“I’d walk a mile for a Camel.” Camel cigarettes advertised this popular slogan in the early 20th century. This slogan could be identified by almost any adult during that time because of the popularity of cigarettes, especially Camels. In 1915, only after two years of existence, Camel cigarettes had captured about 12% of the cigarette market (Randall 5). Furthermore, when the United States joined World War I, Camel’s market skyrocketed even more. Camel was quick to use soldiers in their advertising campaigns saying, “You can borrow the jumper brother, but not my Camels” (Zebrowski 1). By the end of the war, they controlled over one-third of the domestic market. Camel cigarettes as well as the rest of the cigarette market impacted Americans immensely in the early 20th century. Therefore, it is important to look at the history of tobacco as well as the specific birth of the Camel brand to better understand the pop culture of cigarettes during, leading up to, and shortly following World War I.

Over the last 50 years, smoking and the public image of smoking has changed dramatically. Americans have learned the harmful effects of smoking and have put a heavy disdain on the use of it. The number of new smokers has drastically dropped over the years and many that had previously smoked have stopped. Some have turned to electronic cigarettes as a safer way to intake nicotine. Over the years, smoking advertisements have changed drastically. Nowadays, tobacco advertisements are virtually non-existent in our society, but when they were abundant they depicted smoking as a cool and sophisticated activity. Today, smoking advertisements are shown by electronic cigarette companies. These companies emphasize the healthier lifestyle these products
...and social freedom without necessitating any need or help from others. The ad’s appearance in the modern fashion magazine Elle, further implies that the female target audience would find appeal is a somewhat artistic ad portraying such qualities, and their obvious benefits. Even her blue and orange roller-blades are color coordinating with car and the sky above. The ad definitely speaks volumes with the words “Pleasure to Burn.” The underlying theme strongly supported by the subliminal imagery serves Camel’s purposes wholly. By conveying a product associated with pleasure, relaxation, patriotism, sensuality, independence, and rebelliousness, Camel successfully utilizes advertising to target and appeal to specific audiences. Every aspect of the full-page ad creams to the viewer to smoke for pleasure, for independence, and nonconformity, and of course, for America.
While todays major tobacco producers deny that they market to the youth. However, we still see them subliminally targeting children through magazine advertisements, store posters, and Internet ads. In addition, they continue to use product placement strategies in mov...

Every year cigarette smoking is responsible for 500,000 premature deaths (Nugel), you do not want to be just another statistic, do you? America’s first cash crop was tobacco. That means that tobacco has been around for a really long time. It was not until 1865, though, that cigarettes were sold commercially. They were sold to soldiers at the end of the Civil War (Dowshen). From then, cigarettes spread like wildfire, and it was not until 1964 that anyone made a stand about the negative effects of tobacco and cigarettes. People start smoking for all different reasons, some to fit in and some to “escape”. Regardless, it is a horrible habit. 3900 children will try their first cigarette today. Amongst adults who currently smoke, 68% of them began at age 18 or younger, and 85% at 21 or younger (American Lung Association). And of all those people, 70% say if they were given another chance they would never have picked up that first cigarette (Tobacco Free Maine). Smoking is responsible for 1 and 5 deaths in the united states, and is the number one preventable cause of death (NLH). Smoking burns and there is no doubt about that, but before one picks up that cigarette, understand the negative effects on not only oneself, but others affected by ones poor choices, like second-hand smoke. Because of smoking cigarettes, many types of cancer, decrease of life quality, and negative health effects have become all too common in the world today.
Marlboro is currently one of biggest cigarette distributer in the world. Originally, Marlboro was targeted towards women with the slogan “Mild As May” Campaign until Philip Morris repositioned Marlboro at 1950, with the objective of attracting a wide target audience of American men to save their failing brand. The company began to advertise towards men because they wanted to increase customer while hoping to increase their profits. Therefore, in order to attract their targeted audience, Leo Burnett took the initiative to design the new brand image in which they use an American symbol, the cowboy. The Marlboro Man campaign was not successful merely because of the cigarettes that it advertised but instead, “Marlboro Man” represented the ways in which white males defined their status in American society. The “Marlboro Man” transformed from an advertising campaign to a representation of white American men.
One way that the tobacco industry can be more ethical is changing their advertising strategy. I believe that today’s advertising strategy is very misleading about cigarettes. Examples of this unethical advertising is in Argentina, here 20 percent of television advertising is spent on smoking commercials, as well as in countries in and around Africa there are billboards that depict a man in a business suit stepping out of a black Mercedes as a chauffeur holds the door. This displays that cigarettes make people classy and sophisticated, making cigarettes look not only harmless but stylish. Another good example of unethical depiction on cigarettes is in Nigeria; here they promote a cigarette for graduates, with a picture of a university and a student in a cap and gown. As if this wasn’t a misleading visual they add a slogan that says, "A very important cigarette for very important people." These ads and slogan are ...
