Way back in 1870. when the technology to print coloured pictures was developed, tobacco companies began using it to promote their cigarettes.Famous people,including athletes and movie stars,were pictured on cards that were included in each cigarette packet.
For years, cigarettes were advertised in magazines,newspapers and cinemas.These advertisements used many strategies to promote positive attitudes towards smoking.Doctors,dentists,famous people and healthy looking teenagers having fun with friends were shown in cigarette advertisements.There wasn't a dirty ashtray in sight!
It isn’t a surprise,therefore,that addiction to cigarettes among teenager and adults increased greatly.Not only did addiction increase, but smoking-related deaths also increased.
International groups claim that tobacco is a legalconsumer product that kills. This makes it a perplexing product.Recently,some countries introduced laws to force cigarette makers to place warnings against smoking on every packet of cigarettes.The warnings show some of the consequences of smoking, such as diseased lungs and mouth cancers,but many people continue to smoke.
