Tobacco Advertisement- Week 3 EOC
This tobacco advertisement is advertising for
Viceroys cigarettes. These cigarettes are said to filter the smoke that you
inhale. In this frame a dentist is recommending these cigarettes over all of
the other ones. The setting is probably in a dentist office. The marketers had
the person be a dentist because people can trust dentists. “In the 1940s, cigarettes would be shown in classy
situations, endorsed by celebrities - real A-list Hollywood stars in America -
the ads would make claims about tobacco quality or manufacturing science and,
bizarrely, some brands had what almost amounted to health claims.” -Peter York
The dentist in this
advertisement is pretty much claiming that cigarettes are not bad for your
teeth. His point of view is that they are perfectly okay. The goals are to show
that if a dentist will smoke them, then they must be okay. This ad is making
people assume that smoking does not cause any bad affects to your mouth or
teeth. “The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror - not the glamour
and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray.” -David Byrne
This tobacco advertisement
is very unethical for giving people the wrong perception about cigarettes. Viceroy
is a cooperation that is giving people the wrong idea about smoking. The
outcome is people smoking with the idea that it does no harm to them. Soon
enough people will start to realize that it is bad for their teeth, gums, and
especially lungs. The outcome is not good for the company because everyone
knows that they are liars now. “Tobacco is the only industry that produces
products to make huge profits and at the same time damage the health and kill
their consumers.” -Margaret Chan
