The land of tobacco images
Tobacco would seem to be a legal product, thus the advertising is also legal. Physicians say the following about tobacco products: If people knew such things about smoking 100 years ago as we know now, - none of the countries allow tobacco legal producing or realization".
WHO propagates the slogan: "Every third dies from it."
Rapid development of smoking in XX century took place only due to the successful advertising.
Nowadays, cigarettes’ advertising is just publicity. There is less information in it, and more visual attractiveness. Advertising made tobacco as consumer goods.
Without advertising gloss cigarette smoke causes tickle in throat, cough and cancer. Consumer smokes not cigarettes, but America, friendship, love, sexuality.
Just like a primitive man, who believed that eating the enemy’s heart, he becomes more courageous.
Tobacco advertising and sponsorship – extremely developed and high-paid field of activity. It will be hard for ad men to refuse tobacco super-profits.
In a great thriller "Thank you for smoking" by Christopher T. Buckley about tobacco lobbyist, the main hero together with the representatives of alcoholic industry and weapon’s dealers consider them to be the group of "death merchants".
The favorite proverb of tobacco bosses- "Tobacco will care about it", unfortunately, is not just a literary expression.
