How Advertisers Influence Teens To Smoke Cigarettes / Video

How Advertisers Influence Teens To Smoke Cigarettes / Video. Public domain video PSA.
Cigarettes Are Addictive — Once You Start Smoking, It Is Almost Impossible To Stop / Video. From the public domain. A recent Zogby poll found that 45% of respondents support a ban on cigarettes. In practical terms, what does this mean? Not much, because public officials — swimming in money from the tobacco lobby, and not wishing to alienate the 45 million Americans who identify as smokers –certainly won’t put an end to the cigarette industry. Does anyone else find it odd that when 45% of Americans support banning cigarettes, 42% support banning abortion, and 39% support a federal ban on same-sex marriage, the highest-polling ban is the only one that hasn’t produced any referendums? More than 400,000 deaths in the U.S. alone each year are from smoking related illnesses. Why would someone even pick up a cigarette without considering the effects it will have on him or her? Cigarettes should be illegal because cigarettes are a powerful and addicting drug that are very harmful to the people who smoke them, the people who inhale second hand smoke, and the environment. Drugs are bad for anyone who smokes them. A Cigarette is a type of drug. Cigarette smoke contains 4,000 chemical constituents and more than 40 of them are known to cause cancer in humans. Some experts say that it’s usually not the nicotine that kills but these other chemicals. A few of these chemicals are cadium, a highly poisonous metal that is also used to make batteries, formaldehyde which is used to preserve dead bodies, and lead which is a highly toxic metal. Some studies say that the nicotine in cigarettes is as addictive as cocaine and heroin, which leads to the theory of why it is so hard for addicts to stop. With all these deadly chemicals, why would someone even think of smoking cigarettes? These 4,000 deadly chemicals are more than enough evidence to make cigarettes illegal. The most addicting chemical is nicotine.

on Mar8 09[..YouTube..] True…
on Mar8 09True…
on Mar11 09[..YouTube..] very, very true
on Mar12 09[..YouTube..] I am not against this speech, but I feel it is unfair to associate magazine companies with tobacco companies. magazine companies print adds that they are paid to run. They always have and always will. If you think there should be more anti smoking adds, maybe you should pay to advertise. Or keep spreading the word. Just my opinion.
on Mar16 09[..YouTube..] oh thank ya zelit i just quit now i will go drink the naplam you gave me oh wait i have freedom @nd i will smoke when ever i damn well feel like it …….. hell yea but i only smoke in my home and if my guests dont like it i’m forcing them to stay
on Mar16 09[..YouTube..] cramforth, you have freedom? If you keep on smoking — you will lose “freedoms”.
on Mar17 09[..YouTube..] I have camels and marlboros right now, those bastards!
on Mar17 09[..YouTube..] i never started smoking because of the advertisements, or because i saw it in a movie. hell ive never even seen a cigarette advertisement. i started smoking when all my friends were doing behind the school, and i thought it was cool. its not eh industry’s fault, its my fault. im smart enough to make my own decisions, and ill be damned if someone is going to make this decision for me. if you dont know that smoking is bad for you then you are a MORON
on Mar19 09[..YouTube..] you know, this is what i call “blaming others for your own problems syndrome” and ALL people, more or less, are “infected” by it. i don’t have to be graduated with a diploma to know as a fact that cigarette companies are almost the last ones to blame for the smoking youth… i smoke and i know a bunch of people who do it to, and we all started at a teenage period, but i can assure you that the adds had NOTHING to do with it.
on Mar23 09[..YouTube..] i wanted to see what it was like when i was eleven, and i didnt do it properly, just in the mouth and out, but then i stopped. When i was 14 i started again, now doing it properly, and i’m now 15. i smoke about 3-4 a day, so i’m not a heavy smoker. i would like to stop, but i dont want to. -?
on Mar23 09[..YouTube..] MotoXprt, you are probably addicted. If you quit now — you can avoid tragedy in your life. Please quit asap — for your own sake.
on Apr1 09[..YouTube..] By the time I was 15 I was smoking a pack a day. I’m 24 and I’ve been smoke free for nearly 6 months now.
on Apr1 09[..YouTube..] If an extremist promoted their propaganda in Time magazine, would you not blame the Magazine for printing something ‘harmful’?
on Apr25 09[..YouTube..] wont we all eventually?
on Jun28 09[..YouTube..] “camels, newport, and marlboro.” (most advertised)damnit… those are probably the best brands! (newport is only included because it’s the most popular menthol brand, though a lot of people hate newports.)
on Aug11 09[..YouTube..] dude 4 times a day is alot
on Aug11 09[..YouTube..] you wanna know why i dont smoke my grandma died of cancer in 2006 she was just slowly dying she didnt even reconise us the last thing time i seen her was when she was listening to jump by van halen and my other grandma smokes three packs a day and she has the worst cough ive ever heard thanks to cigarettes im going to lose my other grandma
on Nov7 09[..YouTube..] just smoke weed man.
on Nov29 09[..YouTube..] I’ve never seen a tobacco ad
on Dec23 09[..YouTube..] listening to this dude makes me need to go outside and smoke
on Mar14 09[..YouTube..] Everything said in this video can be easily applied to every single other “heavily” advertised product that is very harmful for you. Alcohol, fast food, junk food, etc. I bet McDonalds spends more on advertising in a month than those 3 cigarette brands combined do in a year.
on Mar18 09[..YouTube..] Started smoking when i was young. Looking back now after many years i realise it was a bad decision.
on Mar18 09[..YouTube..] when the guy was talking about the dog and the bell, my global studies 2 teacher was talking about that yesterday lol
