My No Smoking advertisement Media Review

Did you know that Children living in smoking homes are 3 times as likely to start smoking than those living in nonsmoking households? The smoking of tobacco started taking off many, many years ago before people knew how bad it was for you. It was celebrity endorsed, it had interesting

advertisements, and it was fun and addicting. Eventually, no smoking ads became more popular recently, do to the knowledge we have gained about what smoking can do to you. I found this Just Like Mommy ad in my speech class and thought that it presented an interesting point. Not only do people smoke to handle stress, or look cool, but people also smoke because they aren't taught otherwise, or they feel like it isn't a big deal because the rest of their family does it. Smoking is actually very bad for you. Not only is it bad for your health, but it also makes people want to be around you less because it makes your clothes, your house, and your car, all smell gross. Smoking is still terrible for your health though, as it is linked to heart disease, strokes, and lung cancer. 480,000 people in the United States die every year from smoking cigarettes. It is up to us to stop this vast amount of death. Discourage the use of cigarettes among your friends, neighbors, and especially family. It's up to you to be the smoke free generation; it's up to you to save a life.
