Lucky Strike Cigarette Ad Analysis
When I saw this old Lucky strike cigarette that was made back in December 26, 1930, I was literary in shock, a cigarette company saying that physicians recommended they’re cigarettes so that it can protect your throat “against irritation” and “against cough”. In this ad, it is trying to convince the audience to smoke their cigarettes by saying that “20, 679 physicians” recommend their product. The ad shows a white male physician in his mid-30s, wearing his a white turtle neck t-shirt, holding a lucky strike cigarette box. The ad uses a red background color, white and yellow font color, and text to present that Luckies is “less irritating”.

    The logical appeal in this advertisement comes at the bottom of the ad itself. The ad states that Lucky Strike cigarettes are produced from the best tobacco and completely out-perform the other leading brands of cigarette companies. Claims are made within the advertisement that the Lucky Strike is the only brand to feature such high quality tobacco in their cigarettes and that no other brand of tobacco products uses the best quality like theirs does. This can appeal to consumers in many ways, mostly because consumers want to buy the best product. If they are being led to believe that Lucky Strike cigarettes are better than the competitors, then they would be more willing to purchase and try the product. The advertisement also states that Lucky cigarettes are better tasting than the other leading brands. Now if anyone knows anything about human behavior, then it is known that human beings are creatures of pleasure and want the best. If we are presented with one thing that tastes better than something else does, we are more prone to purchase that product due to taste alone. Therefore, this cigarette ad has both the logical appeals of better quality and…

    Rhetoric Essay

    With today’s scientific knowledge, scientists concluded that “…an estimated 443,000 people die prematurely from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, and another 8.6 million live with a serious illness caused by smoking. Despite these risks, approximately 46.6 million U.S. adults smoke cigarettes” (Ung). These deaths were all caused either by lung, mouth, larynx, pharynx, esophageal, and/or bladder cancer (Tobacco Use). You might ask yourself, why do people still smoke even though they know that they can get cancer from it? Well, before the discovery of cigarettes being harmful to your body, people thought that cigarettes were actually beneficial to your body. This created an influx of demand for cigarettes from the consumers. Because of this influx, cigarette companies wanted to find a way of luring the consumers into buying their cigarettes. They found that by using rhetoric in their advertisements, they were able to develop multiple ways of persuading consumers into thinking that their cigarettes turned them into a celebrity and that even doctors smoke cigarettes. With this being said, I will compare and contrast a Capri Super Slim and a Lucky Strike cigarette advertisement and show how cigarette companies back then used rhetoric to convince buyers into purchasing these two products.…

    The advertisement I’ve chosen to be my case of study in analyzing an advertisement through Barthes’ analytical model is an ad from Folgers Coffees. The ad is actually a print of a cup of Folgers coffee placed on top of manhole covers in New York City. Holes on the print allow the steam to come out, and the wordings around the cup read ‘Hey City That Never Sleeps. Wake Up. Folgers.’…

    Tobacco was the first crop grown for money in North America. In 1964 the Surgeon General of the U.S. wrote a report about the dangers of cigarette smoking. He said that the nicotine and tar in cigarettes cause lung cancer. Due to his report by the 1980’s they developed new cigarettes with lower amounts of nicotine and better filters (History & Economics of Tobacco).The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the first ever paid national tobacco campaign. In March of 2012 they began to use real people instead of actors (Centers of Disease Control and Prevention). The illustration of loading a revolver with cigarettes is a strong visual way to get people’s attention on the harms of smoking. Also, the facts listed are making…

    The reason behind this is because when individuals encounter this ad their eyes are drawn to what stands out the most. Also, a reader can infer the biggest words are the most important. In this advertisement, the most eye grabbing phrase is, “call 1-866 NEW-LUNG” (TUPP). Horrifically, it is assuming that if an individual smokes they will need a lung transplant. TUPP places a logo of white lungs beside “1-866-NEW-LUNG” in hopes for people to understand smoking can affect internal organs as well as facial features. It is obvious why the Tobacco Use Prevention Program chose white lungs for this advertisement. They want individuals to understand that non-smokers should have untarnished lungs, which would appear to be white, and individuals that smoke have tarnished…
