Post # 2: Advertising
Tobacco is the second most used drug in Peru after the alcohol, and Peru is one of the 19 countries that forbid any kind of tobacco advertising. But, Alcohol beverages are more lucky because they are allowed to be in any kind of adds. For example, Beer is the most popular alcohol in Peru and other countries and more accessible to everyone and that is because the alcohol producing company support many different events with publicity and marketing. Actually, TV commercials are the best way to promote this kind of product. When a alcohol commercial appears on TV, the publicity show a message like this "Drink to much alcohol in excess is harmful" and sometimes they add "If you drink don't drive". The alcohol producing companies use this advise to educate consumers to be responsible when they drink.
"The World Not Tobacco Day" on May 31rst of every year
So, when you drink do not drive and when you smoke think in your lungs
I like that you have correctly called tobacco and alcohol drugs! These are highly addictive and distructive drugs.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I very much like the poster you hhave included advertizing NO TOBACCO DAY! It is something that I had never seen before, and it is around the world!
I didn't know about The World Not Tobacco Day, neither. I don't smoke or drink alcohol, I don't like them. But, I think we need to careful about other addictive things too like facebook or twitter. A scientific study revealed that facebook and twitter could be more addictive that drugs, interesting eh?
ReplyDeleteAhahahahahha what a funny comercial... xD Until the end I didn't know it was for a beer...
ReplyDeleteGod, how I love that flyer for The World not tabacco Day! It is amazing! First time I see... Really nice!
What are the warning signs of being addicted to facebook or twitter? Cravings to "tweet" or "post something" LOL. No, seriously I do think there is a problem with Tobacco and Alcohol, and I am sure that online networking and social media outlets have their problems as well.
ReplyDeletePhoto is good ! It shows about tabaco exactly!
ReplyDeleteI like the message from the Tabaco picture too. But it is true about being addicted to facebook and twitter. Well, everything could become addictive without moderation so all depend on control us.
