    This video wants the viewer to see how awful smoking is and tell people to stop and don't even start. Fear is used in this piece of propaganda because it scares people that smoking will kill you sooner and make you look older. I think this video is very beneficial since it clearly shows the horrible side effects of smoking. I think that this video should of added sound or a narrator to enhance the persuasion.

    This piece of propaganda shows the shocking, yet true side effects of smoking. It's using the technique "fear" to make people afraid to smoke, because of how they will look. We live in a society where people are very concerned about their appearance, so this smoking psa will help alert people about one of the major side effects of smoking.
