Cigarette

 This month topic is about cigarrete.  As a student, I certainly should not smoke in addition to the prohibition of parents and teachers. Smoking is also not good for health.  I'm confused why there is clearly a warning that reads like this: "Smoking can cause cancer, heart attacks, impotence and disorders of pregnancy and the fetus." but there are still people that want to smoke. Tobacco companies put that warning because of the government regulations but they knew that putting statement warning will not afffect the sale of cigarettes. Government regulations are not so effective to reduce smokers. Nowadays in Indonesia the numbers of smokers are increasing while in the United States the number of smoker are decreasing. that's because United States regulations are more stringent. America used to had the most smokers. In Indonesia there a lots of cigarettes advertisement  such as billboards, tv ads, and much more. I think because lots of ads make a lot of people smoke, especially teenager. In their mind were embedded concept that smoking is cool. All brands of cigaretes make their advertisement creative and attractive to people. My suggestion to government that they should put some disease picture in the cigarette packet

Advertising - its Impact on society

So, this month topic for our Blog is Advertising and it's impact on Society like what you see in the title. So, any of you ever wondering what is advertising? What is the purpose of Advertising? Usually what we know about advertising was only the commercial break in the television or internet. But there are more than that. Advertising are everywhere whether it is on newspaper, billboard, magazine and etc.The purpose why many factory or company wanted to pay milions or even bilions Rupiah to advertise their product is only to persuade people to buy their product or a service. There are smoke products eg: Sampoerna, Dji Sam Soe, Gudang garam. There are Condoms adverisement too on Tv. Usually if its on television  it was a short film, song or something that make society fell interested. If it was on Internet it was a maybe a picture or pop up picture that sometimes makes Internet surfer feel irritated. But sometimes the advertisement suceed to persuade us because of the short video, the idea or creativity of the commercial. Some of my favourite advertisement comes from technology company and it attracts me to buy their product. This Advertisement I watch it from the Internet. But In Advertising some products such as Cigarette they have their rule from the government for not to use smoking people and they must write the warning in their products. Maybe the government thought that smoking people will give bad/negative impact to the society especially minors. Well that is all I can say. Thank You
