what do you think about the public service advertisement for quiting smoking?
while I think it's great that they're trying to get people to quit smoking, but I don't really care for the advertisement.
why not?
the fish hook that they use is quite disturbing!
it's a pun. They use the fish hook to make you think about how you can get hooked on smoking.
I know, but I think it's not really appropriate for young children.
I think they're trying to scare the young people so that they don't ever start smoking.
all advertisers like to catch young people because they know the meaning of loyalty.
perhaps you're right, , though. Maybe the advertisement would be more effective with adults anyhow.
I have nothing against them putting the advertisements in magazines and newspapers that are read by adults, but I don't think they should have their ad on billboards where children can see them.
that's a good point. I think I was so delighted to see that a billboard was being used to promote health that I didn't think about how children might understand the ad.
you have to give them credit, though. It's about time people started becoming more aware of the dangers of smoking.
