Vintage Advertisement Analysis
Tobacco Vintage Ad Commercials and ads influence the choices we make. What we purchase is based on what we are most vulnerable about. What captivated my attention about this ad was the gift box and sign that a mother and her child held. After further analyzing the picture I realized it was a Tobacco ad. The way they are dressed and their smiles give an inviting impression that pushes consumers to purchase their products.
The mother and child look like an all American family. They make it seem as though smoking is the "American" way of life, but the first thought that came into my was, “wow, how can they use kids to promote smoking, knowing how deadly it is to your health?” In most cases these advertisements get their point across. Their big red captivating letters and well-illustrated pictures attract our attention, leaving us victims of great advertisement.

It also stands for Always milder, Better tasting, Cooler smoking. It’s implying that Chesterfield brand of tobacco is the best brand there is and that it makes you “cooler” if you smoke them. The picture of the mother and son looking happy and smiling indicates that they are excited to see the father’s reaction when he opens his gift. The picture of the pack of cigarettes itself is small, in my opinion, it is mostly because they are not trying to emphasize much on the package since the design is not so appealing, but essentially on the message they are bringing across. This tobacco company is implying that it is ok for a son to give his father this kind of a gift and that it is ok for his father to smoke

    In this day and age advertisement is around every corner. Cell phones and the internet put advertising and the real word at our fingertips 24/7 and advertising has also become as advanced as the technology that brings it to us. Marketing professionals are finding new ways to instill their brands upon us, and targeting different groups of people to help expand the use of their products. As we move into the future we see that what is advertised to children is not always good. Many cigarette companies used to have “Mascots” to help sell their product. While these mascots were adults, they did not always just appeal to the adults.…

    The screeching cry of a lost child sounds across the entire building through the crowd of people after a young boy is alone for only a minute. This image comes from an advertisement which includes a gloomy setting showing the sadness of something to appeal to the audience’s emotions. The “Quit Smoking” commercial, produced by Fiona Sharkie, starts with a mother and her child walking together through a crowd of people; toward the middle of the video, the mom and her child get separated making the child very upset and scared. The sadness of the child makes parents feel guilty for possibly leaving their children for good. This advertisement does not use logos because smokers do not often look at logic or they would not smoke to begin with because the box of cigarettes exclaims that smoking causes cancer; therefore, logos would not persuade this specific targeted audience. This advertisement uses pathos and ethos to target parents that smoke and smokers who plan to have kids in the future. Although this commercial does not use logos, it still conveys the message that parents do not want to leave their children alone, due to death, successfully using two other rhetorical strategies to persuade smokers to quit smoking.…

    The chosen form of entertainment the young professionals are engaged in is depicted in a bright shade of red, further suggesting the feelings of joy and passion conveyed by the people in the image. Their clothing is deliberately shown in hues of blue and red, simply because blue symbolizes truth and loyalty, the exact same feelings one would experience while being a member of a group as the one illustrated. Additionally, RJ Reynolds attempts to communicate through the use of these colors that the message contained in this advertisement is truthful and can be taken at face value while also expecting customer loyalty in return. The background framing the picture is comprised of deep, green woods, conveying a feeling of harmony with nature and within the group itself. The color scheme continues with green and white on the cigarette boxes and is intended to symbolize both the safety and freshness of the product. As white is the color of innocence, safety and purity, it not surprising that the Surgeon General’s Warning in the lower left hand corner of the image is also in white. RJ Reynolds is speaking directly to the users communicating that safety is accounted for and to entice the consumer to focus on the advertisement’s primary…

    The goal of this commercial was to make the audience fear the use of tobacco. The FDA wanted the audience to feel horrified and disgusted by the skin peeling off the teens face. Research shows that “FDA hired an independent research firm to assess the impact of “The Real Cost” on tobacco-related attitudes, beliefs and behaviors among youth who are open to smoking or already experimenting with cigarettes, and the results are impressive” (U.S Food and Drug Administration, 2014). This means that The Real Cost commercial was able to have a decrease of tobacco use among young teens. It also resulted in about a 30 percent decrease in young tobacco users. The message of this commercial was about their appearance and what can happen such as wrinkles, tooth loss, gum disease, etc. The Real Cost commercial represented pathos by exampling to young teens the consequences of tobacco use, and the appeal of the use of…

    Advertising in the 1900’s was very popular for persuading people to buy the a product. Imitating and have the “image” or look of a particular person and influence more and more people to buy the product is the goal. In today’s society advertisments work the same way and if anything it has it’s pro’s and cons of the way people live their lives by being influenced by these advertisements.The first photo that I chose to present, portrays how an elegant woman from the 1920’s is smoking a cigarette and advertising “The Old North State” cigarette box. By advertising this photo it is presenting that not only do low class, or strapping, attractive men smoke. However the most elegant looking woman with her pearls, and “flapper” image are making cigarette…

    He is wearing comfortable/baggy pants, a baseball cap, and snazzy sunglasses. He is in shape, cool, and mysterious. Joe Camel is the guy every girl wants and every guy wants to be. Oh yeah, and he is smoking a Camel cigarette. Obviously this is ploy to target the youth. The ad implies if you smoke this cigarette, you can be this cool. It is well known that in today’s world many children are concerned with how they are viewed upon by there peers and will give in to peer pressure in an attempt to be cool. R. J. Reynolds realizes this and is attempting to create a fad among children and young adults. Once this fad is created children will become vulnerable as they will get the mindset “well all the cool people are smoking Camels if I start smoking I can be just as cool as them and Joe Camel.” It is important to remember that cigarettes are one of very few products that if used exactly as intended by the manufacturer will eventually kill you. In addition cigarettes are known to be a highly addictive product and the majority of smokers buy the same brand of cigarettes each time they purchase…

    Anybody who has seen "Jerry Springer" knows the true reaction of most of the audience. Many people think that the show is funny, outrageous, and sometimes obscene. Sometimes, it is even considered comical, and that is what this ad is doing; it is appealing to people who are familiar with Jerry Springer and his show. When people see this ad they immediately think about the show, and that is what makes it work. It has little to do with the cigarettes; and except for the fact that Sasquatch is smoking one, there is no relation between the Jerry Springer show and the experience of smoking Camel cigarettes. There just isn't a correlation. One thing it could be implying, however, is that if one smokes Camel cigarettes, that person will have scantily clad women fighting over him.…

    Next, If you look closely at the picture you will notice a caption that says, “Smoking isn’t just suicide. It’s murder.” This ad is conveying to the public that smoking not only harms the person doing it but it also harms others. Also at the bottom of the ad you will notice that it is being sponsored by the Chilean Corporation against Cancer. Also, they try to create such a strong image with a strong message to encourage others to stop smoking…

    Rhetoric Essay

    With today’s scientific knowledge, scientists concluded that “…an estimated 443,000 people die prematurely from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, and another 8.6 million live with a serious illness caused by smoking. Despite these risks, approximately 46.6 million U.S. adults smoke cigarettes” (Ung). These deaths were all caused either by lung, mouth, larynx, pharynx, esophageal, and/or bladder cancer (Tobacco Use). You might ask yourself, why do people still smoke even though they know that they can get cancer from it? Well, before the discovery of cigarettes being harmful to your body, people thought that cigarettes were actually beneficial to your body. This created an influx of demand for cigarettes from the consumers. Because of this influx, cigarette companies wanted to find a way of luring the consumers into buying their cigarettes. They found that by using rhetoric in their advertisements, they were able to develop multiple ways of persuading consumers into thinking that their cigarettes turned them into a celebrity and that even doctors smoke cigarettes. With this being said, I will compare and contrast a Capri Super Slim and a Lucky Strike cigarette advertisement and show how cigarette companies back then used rhetoric to convince buyers into purchasing these two products.…

    I chose to write about the "Reach for a LUCKY instead of a sweet" ad created by Lucky Strike cigarettes and how they appealed to the average American woman of the 1920 's. We 'll be going over what the average American woman of the 20 's was as well as why they were so fascinated with smoking cigarettes. Didn 't they know that cigarettes cause cancer? Didn 't they know that they could die, and leave their loved ones behind because of cancer? Did they truly believe that cigarettes were the miracle to keeping them skinny? Or do you think that cigarettes were more of an accessory than a need to be happy and healthy? The truth is, ads like this target women who want to look sexy and keep their slim figures, or maybe even lose weight, but also believe that what they are doing is healthy. This ad was successful in targeting women because it specifically targeted women who were looking to be more independent and sexy. I believe it was successful in appealing to a woman’s emotion, reasoning and its creditability.…

They made candy cigarettes, used cartoon characters as mascots, use suggestive ads (that make kids look cool with a cigarette); they have even gone as far as advertising at children’s height levels.…
