  • Essay / Tobacco companies target children - 900

    Please smoke, that's what big companies like Marlboro and Camel want us to know, and keep smoking. Tobacco has been around for thousands of years, but today's cigarettes contain many harmful and toxic toxins. Yet it's simple: smoking kills, reduces economic productivity and reinforces poverty. But let's be frank, everyone is already aware of these problems, everyone is attacking the cigarette companies; However, there is a bigger problem. What happens when cigarette companies target today's children? In countries like Indonesia and others in the Middle East, there are no restrictions on the age at which one can smoke tobacco. In Indonesia, documentaries show children as young as five smoking cigarettes daily. There's no doubt that tobacco is bad, but it doesn't get you anywhere. But how do we try to stop children from smoking? It prevents development at such an early age and causes many health problems. The question is who should be held responsible? And what should we do? It is clearly impossible that tobacco will never be banned, but I think there should be stricter restrictions on age limits worldwide, as well as on the materials used in the processing of cigarettes. Who lets cigarette companies continue to poison people and cause cancer risks? Throughout my essay, I will analyze the effects of cigarette smoking on global society and the complex corruption that keeps cigarette companies in business. While today's major tobacco producers deny that they are marketing their products to young people. However, we still see them targeting children subliminally through magazine advertisements, store posters and internet advertisements. In addition, they continue to use product placement strategies in movements...... middle of paper ......rictions and carry out an antithesis campaign against tobacco advertising. With more adverts showing teenagers the harms of smoking and through education, this use of 'counter-add' could go a long way to preventing more young people from taking up such a bad habit. Additionally, I think much more legislation should be aimed at restricting what is actually put in cigarettes rather than advertised, as these toxins and poisons are responsible for the average 430,000+ deaths each year from smoking. Still, it's today, and as long as companies like Altria and Reynolds American have the money to play in Washington, they'll get what they want. It is now up to everyone, in the interest of the health of our future, to help pass legislation that will help deter companies that distribute cancer to hundreds of thousands of people each year..
