Robert: They’re disgusting. Many countries have banned tobacco ads completely.
Nancy: I heard in the States advertises are not allowed to show young people smoking cigarettes, neither are ads targeted at youth allowed.
Robert: But advertises keep finding ways around the law. Some years ago one cigarette ad showed a deer smoking, but it was dressed in a university sweater. Obviously the ad is trying to attract young people.
Nancy: In order to increase sales, they have to make smoking appealing to young people. Make them think it’s cool.
Robert: Right. Cigarette manufacturers need to keep bringing in new customers. The old ones are dying of lung cancer.
Nancy: Good point. Our Student Union should do some publicity against smoking in campus.
Robert: I couldn’t agree more.
