NARRATIVE OUTLINE
Why Do People Smoke?
Generally and psychologically, people starting smoking because they are curious or influenced by friends or family.
For example, in Taiwan, friends will ask each other to smoke as a gesture of friendship while at a party. This is one reason why the number of young smokers has rapidly increased in Taiwan. Historically, through the advertising of cigarette companies, smoking has been connected to social groups that were considered cool therefore making believe that smoking is an important social need. Unfortunately the need to be cool gradually transforms that person into a habitual smoker that cannot stop.
CREATIVE SOLUTION
The goal of this project was to design a book for kids to teach them not to smoke and help them understand that smoking is bad for everyone. By educating children, they will hopefully have influence on their parents and convince them not to smoke. Therefore, this campaign is not only for kids but also for their family members. Instead of following the traditional method of scare tactics, I chose to use humorous illustrations as a way to affectively deliver the anti-smoking information to the children who would receive the book. Key deliverables include illustration book, four cards, and stickers.
OUTCOME
The anti-smoking campaign was systematically designed through a step-by-step process including research, analysis, strategy, and concept. Children learn to identify the risks of smoking through the use of the book and are provided with cards that they can hand to Their parents that will help inform them of the same risks.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 45.3 million people in the United States to be cigarette smokers. Such an astounding number is certainly an accomplishment for cigarette companies and their investors. But after learning cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.; the number only seems grotesque and disheartening. However, in recent years, there has been a national push for anti-smoking campaigns. More specifically, anti-smoking advocates have made a tremendous effort to raise awareness in children and adolescents in an attempt to decrease the nation’s startling smoking statistics for the near future. A tactful attempt to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking cigarettes has come from the use of satirical advertisements. An example of such an advertisement was found on the website adbusters.org. The image invokes a reaction from viewers while discrediting the Camel brand with the use of the same rhetorical strategies used to initially capture a massive market for Marlboro cigarettes in an original advertisement. The spoof advertisement is able to discredit such a renowned company by carrying the bulk of its argument in the use of logos opposed to relying solely on an emotional appeal.…

    Healthy people 2020 objectives related to adolescent is to reduce use of cigarettes use by adolescents by 3.5 percent and the initiation of cigarette use by 2 percent. Another goal would be to reduce the number of adolescents that are exposed to cigarette smoke by 4.5 percent. Statistics from Healthy People 2020 show that in 2008 and 2009 19.5 percent of adolescents were current smokers, 6.3 percent had just begun smoking in the past 12 months, and 45.5 percent of adolescents who do not smoke were exposed to secondhand smoke (Healthy people 2020, 2017). We believe the overall goal for this population is to increase their knowledge of tobacco’s negative effects on their health. The purpose of education on this topic would be to reduce the number of people who use these products, which would increase the population's overall health by helping reduce secondhand smoke exposure.…

    The viewer’s eyes are immediately drawn to the crayons in the cigarette box. The usage of crayons that is shown in order to replace the damaging thing is known as, cigarettes, is used to symbolize minors. As kids, we used crayons to draw and color when we were bored. Crayons can be described as happiness and world- changing philanthropy, so can children. That is why they used crayons to replace cigarette to symbolize children. They did this so it shows that when parents or siblings smoke, children are being affected. Sadness, surprise, and disgust is what I contribute from this ad.…

    There is no doubt that cigarettes are bad for a person’s health, so it is easy to see how advertising cigarettes could be dangerous to people, especially adolescents who grow up seeing cigarettes as part of life. Advertisements for destructive products have become more and more common, and as they do, the act of using those products becomes more and more common, too. As a child, I watched my mother smoke cigarettes and drink beer. If she hadn’t been exposed to advertisements that promoted both cigarettes and beer, along with a society that accepts those things, I believe that she would have never started smoking and drinking in the first place, which would have been better for our…

    The use of tobacco is commonly started in the early 20’s of an adult. There are a number of reasons why people may start to smoke tobacco. As a child growing up, children may see their parents or older siblings smoking cigarettes making them want to try it. As children grow into young adults, they are either pressured into smoking cigarettes or they see their favorite role models smoking cigaerretes. Teenagers usually view cigarettes as the cool thing to do and start becoming regular smoker in the early 20’s. At this age many people have higher risk factors such as having kids, not graduating from college, low paying jobs, or problems with their appearance. Although cigarettes may have a positive feeling as far as calming the person, or realiving stress, there are also negative factors. A persons health is damaged by cigarettes. The nicotine in the cigarette causes psychological and physical dependence making the person believe that smoking is ok when in fact it can cause heart and lung disease.

    My campaign will take place in schools all over the country and can include elementary, middle, and high schools. My campaign will have lecturers to educate the students about how smoking damages the body and victims of smoking-related illnesses to dramatize the damage caused to individuals. Lecturing students this way will be much more effective because they will see damage with their eyes and not just listen to a lecture through their ears. Hearing a victim talk about how smoking changed their lives will hopefully help draw students away from the idea of smoking. Additionally, I want people to be able to see the organ damage caused by smoking first hand. To do this, I would have props of lungs sent to schools displaying how a smoker’s lungs look like compared to a nonsmoker’s. Further, I would have the schools put up posters throughout the building with facts about smoking and images of damage that smoking causes. This way, the dangers of smoking will be fresh in their mind during the week of the event and they will think about it constantly. Hopefully, the dangers and damage of smoking they saw will be imprinted in their brain so that the day they are asked to try a cigarette, they decline. If they do start smoking or have already been smoking, hopefully those students will imagine the damage they are causing to their bodies. If any students are being…
