Anti-smoking advertisement

My vice is tardy. Whenever I go to somewhere to meet my friends, I am always late at least 5 or 10 minutes. I tried to make an effort to fix my bad habit by this way to rearrange my watch 10 minutes faster than real time. However, even though I did, I was able to find myself calculating real time unconsciously when appointment time came to me. Sometime, this habit caused conflicts with others. So, nowadays I am trying to go out of my house as soon as possible when I got appointment with someone. But, I am still late whenever I meet Daichi. It is not easy for me.




“You are killing your children unconsciously”

I am really interested in anti-smoking advertisement especially about children. They have no power to complain and no idea how much smoke could affect them as much as adults. We must protect them from smokers. This picture is one of my best anti-smoking ad about children of my life.


I picked up this anti-smoking advertisement for smoking parents who have babies. We already know that smoking has negative effects on people. So, they try to avoid the risk to affect their children. However, I saw very shocking article several days ago. The research presents that even though smokers who have babies make sort of vigorous efforts to protect their children from their smoke, such as going out of their house to smoke, washing hands before touching babies, washing teeth after smoking and so on, the babies who are exposed the environment that parents smoke have almost the same density of nicotine in their body as much as light smokers who smoke 1 or 2 things per one day. They are killing their babies unintentionally!! This research teaches us that the most effective way not to affect others is just stop smoking. No matter what kinds of efforts you make, it is not effective rather than stopping cigarette.


Actually, there is not impressive and kind of grotesque advertisement in my country. Korea government does allow advertisers to use such pictures. Only the words of caution are printed on products. But, sometimes, I could see such very strong advertisement pictures on cigarette cases while I traveled to other countries. Someone says that such pictures are so excessive grotesque that it could have negative effects not only smokers but also non-smokers. However, even so, I think such shocking advertisement is much more effective and practical way to warn danger to people. For example, when I saw picture printed on a cigarette case which is related to cancer caused by smoking, I could not forget about it for a while. Yes, I know this way would be able to bring side effect. But, as people know, cigarettes are addictive. That means we need sort of strong way to release addiction and such pictures are true not false. That could be happened in smokers by smoking. So, I really want my government to accept these stop smoking campaigns of other countries and allow to advertisers to use effective method rather than now.
