the truth - true or false?

Here in this world, our society is basically are all based on what magazines, books, television shows and movies contains. People purchase certain things just because they see it on a “really cool” commercial on television or an ad in a magazine or newspaper. For instance, the latest acne treatment or the latest footwear or even better yet, smoking ads. But when it comes to smoking ads, do the audience really pay attention to it? When you turn the pages of any teenage magazines like Seventeen, YM and Teen People, it is most likely for you to come across an anti smoking or tobacco ad. But how much do those ads help? Do people really stop smoking because of those ads? Does it really trigger our emotions? We buy the latest acne treatment because we saw it on magazine ads and follow the latest fashion because the latest Abercrombie and Fitch fashions are out. What about coming out with the latest anti-smoking ads? Does it deter people from smoking or tobacco use? I believe that it would be harder since so many people are already addicted to tobacco.

At the bottom of this photo, there are three phrases typed with what it seems like, the font of an old typewriter. It says, “Drop Dead Day,” “In Front of a Major tobacco Company,” and “The Death Counter.” However, the most unique concept of this photo is the circled phrase “Drop Dead Day” written at the bottom of this photo with a black marker. This phrase, I believe, carries the whole theme of the entire picture, which is to prevent those innocent people losing their lives due to tobacco related diseases. The title “Drop Dead Day” all associated to those dead bodies lying on the floor, as if they all drop dead at once.

According to “the truth” organization, there are approximatel
