Smoking = Death

anti smoking advertisements 06 in The Best Anti Smoking Advertisements

It is no secret that these two advertisements are anti-smoking ads.  They are very clear and my opinion quite creative.  Both of the ads are targeting the audience's heart more than their mind.  The first ad figuratively demonstrates a person being hung.  This shows that the person smoking chooses their death.  The second ad is targeting both smokers and non-smokers.  It is a risky ad due to the fact that 9/11 was a tragic day in America and relating smoking to a terrorist attack could cause some uproar.  I believe that this ad is very powerful and that all viewers can relate to.  The audience gets a feeling of hate when they see the cigarettes resembling the Twin Towers and these feelings are carried over to the message that is being told.  Both advertisements do a good job targeting the heart, but the second one in particular nails it.
