    I rated this example as beneficial and so did 14% of other students. I believe it's beneficial because it's informing people about how vapes can cause stress. It's important that more people learn about how harmful vaping is to the human body. this example demonstrates to me the nature of contemporary propaganda by the commercial directly telling the viewer "vaping nicotine is said to "actually increase feelings of stress and anxiety" instead of being a stress reliever."
