The ad has a baby crying and covered in smoke with a black background and on the other one you have gun with a gray background with the bullets being cigarets and smoke is coming out. I found this ad very interesting because its very detailed and has a very deep meaning behind it if you look at very closely. In the first picture you have a kid in a black background which for me represents that the kid is in danger. You have the kid sitting down and crying with smoke being covered all over him. For me this represents that your putting the kids life in danger because you are damaging his health and most importantly his lungs. Also I believe that the kid isn't comfortable being surround my the smoke which makes it hard for him to breath and beware of whats going on around him. I also can see that the kid is being pressured and feels scared from the smoke around him because he feels trapped in it and their is nothing he can do. In more serious case this shows what second hand smoking can lead too a child’s danger and suffering from trouble breathing from the smoke.The second image had a gray background that goes from light gray to dark gray. That from me represents the smog and the color of your lungs when you smoke. As the years pass by the darker your lungs
Every year in the United States, more than 480,000 people die from tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke; consequently, making this the leading cause of preventable death in this country. People are usually introduced to smoking at a young age; mostly around the preteen years. During this critical time preteen are transitioning from middle school to high school; teens at this age find it a little harder fitting in with others all while forming their own sense of identity. Preteens only pick up the habit of smoking to cope with these challenges. What these teens do not know is that smoking at an early age only increases their chances of suffering from a lifelong addiction. To help assuage the situation the Nicotinell anti-smoking organization
As per the American Heart Association in 2013, an expected 23 percent of grown-up men and 18 percent of grown-up ladies in the United States are smokers. What’s even more troubling is the prevalence of juvenile smoking in our society. juvenile smoking is a very real danger among U.S. youngsters and high schoolers. About 25 percent of U.S. secondary school understudies are smokers, and an extra 8 percent use smokeless tobacco items, for example, snuff and plunge. But what is most disheartening, is that 30 percent of all juvenile smokers will become addicted and suffer health related complications due to prolonged smoking. Numerous components play into a kid's choice to attempt tobacco. A craving to seem "cooler", more advanced, or to
The United States is in the lead with the amount of money spent on consuming cigarettes and or tobacco. Smoking is a topic that is well known in the United States, if you walk down the street you are more than likely to see at least two people smoking. Because it is so common a lot of people might not understand what happens when they smoke. When you turn 18 you are at legal age for smoking, although you have been impacted by other smokers. On average, nicotine is still in the air in a highly populated city for 3-4 days. So you have breathed in the smoke for the past 18 years of your
In other words, people who smoke should quit not only for their health, but for the health of their loved ones and the people around when they smoke, especially for that of children. We now know that when a person smokes, you’re inhaling life-threatening chemicals, and you’re damaging your internal organs. In addition, smoking leads to wrinkles, teeth falling out, along with other gruesome consequences that eventually lead to death. Another think to recalculate is that apart from the chemicals already in the cigarette more are created when a person light it. It is said that people who quit smoking are doing the most preventable cause of death in the United States.Some of the effects that smoking causes is that it increases the person’s irritability, impatience, hostility, anxiety, depressed mood, it’s difficult for the smoker to concentrate, restlessness, decreased heart rate, appetite or weight gain, all of these things in which are bad for a person’s health.
Teen smoking has been increasing since 1991. There are economic, psychological and sociological factors that play an important role in this increase.
Smoking is a lifestyle, a habit, and a trend. Smoking has become a social activity among teens, connecting them through the craving of a smoke. Smoking is seen as seductive and cool in the media and movies which influences teenagers to smoke even more. The World Health Organization has stated that “Tobacco kills around 6 million people each year. More than 5 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use while more than 600,000 are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke.” As of April 2016, only 7% of teenagers in the U.S. smoke, but it is said that tobacco use will kill 8 million people annually by 2030. 99% of adult smokers start in their years as teenagers. Smoking is an epidemic that has taken control of people’s lives since 1881 and the media since the early 1900s. Smoking currently kills about 440,000 people a year in the U.S. I feel that it is an issue because it is the #1 most preventable way to die, but people still continue to smoke because of how it looks and how they are perceived as a person if they do. The fact that people become addicted to a trend that will attribute to their death for the sake of being thought of as cooler, is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Nicotine is addictive whether the user uses tobacco products or just smokes cigarettes. Addiction is what makes someone continuously smoke even when they are trying to quit. For some people, breaking the cycle is harder than others. Many people don’t know the various methods to quit smoking. When tobacco products are used, nicotine is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. In the matter of ten seconds of entering the body, nicotine reaches the brain. This causes the brain to release adrenaline, creating a buzz of pleasure and energy. The buzz evaporates quickly, leaving behind a tired feeli...
As of 2002, more than 430,000 people every year die from use of tobacco- more than AIDS, alcohol, drugs, abuse, car accidents, murders, suicides, and fires COMBINED (“Cigarette Smoking” 2). Scary, isn't it? That even though cigarettes can cause that many deaths, people still smoke them? Cigarette smoking is a serious problem in the United States. Especially when it is done in public. Public smoking should be banned because it is a hazard to the people around.
...ers started because of their friends smoking and peer pressure. I believe smoking should be banned in the U.S. not only do the harmful fumes hurt you, they affect others. Why keep a harmful product that kills not only the people that smoke but ,also anyone around them. Many cigarette smokers claim it's their body their harming but it affects everyone. Imagine how many people would still be living if they never started smoking. Many children live with parents who smoke, and imagine how many times they are made fun of because the way they smell. Cigarette smoke can't just disappear, or be covered up with products that use smelly fumes such as Lysol. Many people who try to stop give up because they think they can't give smoking up but, it is possible to stop. So do yourself a favor and don't give your hard earned money and your life to those nasty cigarette companies.
Did you know that there is 75,000 alcohol related deaths in the U.S. each year? Did you know more than 400,000 Americans die from tobacco-related causes each year? All of this will keep on happening if people keep on doing drugs and smoking. If you smoke when you are younger than 18 you can die early because it causes black lung cancer. There are more than 200 known harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke. Smokers have more colds and upper problems than people who don’t smoke.
They do not consider the affect smoking might have on them and how that will affect their family and the environment. Cigarettes cause hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths each year, and that is why cigarettes need to be made illegal.
Tobacco kills up to half of its users, and about 12 million people smoke it. That totals the death of 6 million people each year due to tobacco. “More than 5 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use, while more than 600 000 are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke”. In short, if everyone that is currently stopped smoking, only tobacco, not only would 5 million lives be saved, but another 600 000 people would also not have to die because of the poor choices other people decide to make. About 570,000 people die annually due to drug use. That breaks down to about 440,000 from disease related to tobacco, 85,000 due to alcohol, 20,000 due to illicit drugs, and 20,000 due to prescription drug abuse. “Nearly 80% of the world's 1 billion smokers live in low-and middle-income countries.” As the world health organization has stated, most people that smoke habit around the low-income countries. This shows that people that smoke live around a poor facility.
Smoking is not only bad for health it is also as bad for the people

However, every day there are kids, not old enough to drive, take a puff from their first cigarette and become unaware of toxins that are consuming their bodies. For young smokers, they want to fit in with their peers and it gives them a false sense of autonomy. They are fascinated by smoking and think it looks cool.
