    I think this is definitely a beneficial ad. While the imagery can be shocking, the message that cigarettes and tobacco is harmful in general is one which the public should be aware of. The negative effects of tobacco are a public health concern.

    This ad clearly telling people not to smoke. This ad is picturing a dead body and a tag hanging from the toe saying "Smoking kills". The feet in this ad look relatively young which could mean this ad is targeting teens.

    This image is trying to make me not want to smoke because of the dead body and the "smoking kills". I think this is a very effective ad because it shows that if you smoke it may lead to death and you should not get into smoking.

    This shows that smoking will kill you. It isn't good for u in any way. I think its shown by the death bed and the tag. I think its efficient because its a big topic everyone thinks about. It really puts it into perspective.

    It shows that smoking kills. It somewhat graphically shows what can happen if you smoke and the tag of reason of death is designed like the brand design on a pack of cigarettes.

    I think that this type of propaganda is good because it shows to teens and others how smoking apis bad for them and can kill them. People can’t live their lives when they smoke a lot and potentially die. This type of propaganda is beneficial to people all ages

    I think this is beneficial propaganda because it gets a the point across without any biased. It is based off strict facts. It might be viewed as a little harmful only because of the dead body in the picture. Other than that it is very beneficial.
