Tobacco Advertising and its Effects on Young Adults   In this dry land there be many unfairnesss that deal with our children. A main injustice is the advertising of tobacco directed to our youths. E really day 3,000 children get started smoking, near of them between the ages of 10 and 18. These kids account for 90 percent of all newfangled smokers. In fact, 90 percent of all adults state that they first start smoking as a teenager. The statistics clearly show that infantile race are the prime tapers of tobacco sales.   The head of these media companies are Marlboro and Camel. Marlboro uses a westward character known as The Marlboro Man, and Camel uses the smooth character Joe Camel. Joe Camel who is shown as a camel with complete style has been attacked by many Tobacco-Free Kids organizations as a study influence on the children of America. Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia report that about as many 6-year olds recognize Joe Camel as they do Mickey M ouse. That is very shocking information for any parent to hear. Children are attracted by these advertisements because they wish cartoons, and they think that a cartoon is harmless and what the cartoon does is harmless too. thither is so much cigarette advertising out there a child is sure to be struck by its attention.   The companies deny that these symbols target people under 21 and claim that their advertising goal is simply to promote brand switching. Illinois Rep. Richard Durbin disagrees with this statement stating If we can reduce the number of young smokers, the tobacco companies will be in trouble and they know it. The companies go toward a market that is not fully aware of the harm that cigarettes are capable of to keep their industry alive and well.   When kids were asked why they started smoking, they gave two remote reasons They lacked to be a part of the crowd. Children dont want to be left over(p) out, they want to be wanted. If their peers are smoking then they will want to smoke too. They also wanted to reach out and rebel at the same time. When children are told over and over by more autocratic people not to do something, then they are going to do it. They do this just to get back at the authorities or to satisfy their curiosity.
