I chose this advertisement for Camel Cigarettes for my first ad. I know at the time that this ad came out featuring a cartoon camel named Joe, it was a big controversy. People argued that this ad made kids want to buy cigarettes because it featured a cartoon, much like the cartoons on television shows that they watch. This ad makes me remember all of the debates and arguments that went along with it, and the movement to try to stop underage smoking as well as smoking all together. This came around the time that people were getting serious about warning smokers of the dangers that cigarettes cause and here is a company, using a cartoon to sell their hazardous product.
