Tobacco advertising

In class we talked about vested interest and how it influences companies to distort the truth in order to obtain a profit from it. We worked on how it affects tobacco companies and their advertisings with the next two questions:
1-  Advertising helps the tobacco because it can disguise a harmful product and alter the evidence so as to  make it seem as something that we need, something essential and beneficial in a certain way.
2-  Cigarettes companies have a vested interest in the profit they gain from the sales of tobacco. Therefore cigarette advertising tend to have distorted the truth, for example regarding the side effects tobacco causes in our health. this is due to the fact that they hide the evidence showing the bad aspects of tobacco effect on us and yet assuring their bussiness. 

(Image analysis) Tobacco companies have a vested interest in the profit they gain for selling the cigarettes, that's why advertisments have to be presented in a way that it makes you believe there is something from
The product that benefits you or helps you in some way. In this case, the advertisement aims to make men believe that by smoking, they will be more attractive to woman. Wants to show them that only by "blowing in her face" smoke girls will fell for him.
