Alcohol and tobacco

Alcohol and tobacco are popular thing because many people do them. Tobacco companies use many methods to promote their products like celebrities in Hollywood. Advertisers use celebrities in their ads and commercials because they know that there are kids that looking up to these people. They want to get the young people hooked on alcohol and tobacco at a young age so they can make more money.

Tobacco is also a hot topic of advertising. Tobacco is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, which can sometimes be deadly. Tobacco advertising is also targeted at teens and young people just as alcohol is. Tobacco ads include idols smoking, people looking cool and a stress free. Many teens face issues dealing with the “in crowd” and stress and think cigarettes are stress relievers. I think it interesting because the tobacco companies aren’t supposed to advertise on TV. So they find other ways to advertise like in movies, TV shows and TV movies. They pay actors millions of dollars to smoke or drink their product in a movie.

Alcohol companies do the same type of things they make their products look like their fun or for cool people and the right thing to do. I think this is bad for everyone because people tend to influence others like friend and family. This is why I think you see more and more kids and teens drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco and parents who don’t really care or even know about it.
