This video pays close attention to detail in order to grab the viewers attention. It also focuses on young people so that smokers of all ages reallize that they are in danger. It also uses graphic images to shock and disgust the reader. This is ment to scare smokers into quiting.

The visual effects of this ad was very persuasive. It showed the real affects of how smoking effects your body. It paid really close attention of what important parts of the body would be effected and destroyed. This ad was directed towards the younger generation. This ad is a way of persuading the younger generation in either quitting smoking or to never start to smoking in the first place.

I think this advertisement was very well thought out and very effective. Its creators realized how difficult it is to get young people to concentrate on public service announcements. By using shocking imagery and making their points quickly, they manage to hold viewers' attention. Also, by using a relatively young actor in the commercial, they clearly demonstrate that people of any age can be adversely affected by cigarettes.

This video does a very good job in discourage people not to smoke. The video targets to young people by showing a young man smoking in the kitchen, so that many young smoker may be in the same situation as the one in the video. The video also show the real effects of how the smokes affects important parts of the body to disgust viewers and hopefully leading the smokers to quit it.

This advertisement is very persuasive to encourage young teenagers and adults to quit their smoking habits. The image shown of what goes on in a person's body is what goes on in every person's body when they take a puff. They used a young male adult so that many can relate.

Frightening younger smokers with this ads approach, in order to warn them of the dangers of smoking, I think is a good approach. People tend not to process or realize the effects of things unless they’re visually laid out in front of them. Sometimes, people need to see in order to understand. If graphic ads are what it takes, then by all means necessary, air them.
