This Anti-smoking advertisement is very effective and creative. It definitely gets its point across and if very informative. When looking at this ad, the picture is worth 1000 words. There is a limited amount of actual words written on the ad but that’s all that is needed. The ad shows a lot of truth toward the product. It’s saying that if you kill the habit of smoking you can save your life. The ad is authentic and definitely catches the viewers attention, it is trying to get smokers to realize they are harming their body with each puff. The ad is respectful, it is blunt and honest, but it does also respect the audience enough and still get its point out. The equity of the ad is very understandable.
