in deadly persuasion: the advertising of alcohol & tobacco, jean kilbourne exposes the manipulative marketing strategies and tactics used by the tobacco and alcohol industries to keep americans hooked on their dangerous products. illustrating her analysis with hundreds of current advertising examples from mainstream and trade sources, kilbourne presents a compelling argument that these cynical industries have a clear and deep understanding of the psychology of addiction � an understanding they exploit to create and feed a life-threatening dependency on their products. deadly persuasion casts a critical eye on the corporate interests that lie behind the industries whose products kill more than 450,000 americans each year.

classic ad of the past.
washington, june 5 (upi) -- a republican u.s. senator who also is a physician is seeking to ban cigarette smoking and other tobacco use. sen. tom coburn, r-okla, a staunch free-market conservative, says lawmakers should stand up to the tobacco industry and ban smokes and chews, the hill reported friday. "what we should be doing is banning tobacco," coburn said recently on the senate floor during a debate on a tobacco regulation bill. "nobody up here has the courage to do that. it is a big business. there are millions of americans who are addicted to nicotine. and even if they are not addicted to the nicotine, they are addicted to the habit." while not outright banning its use, lawmakers have made buying tobacco products difficulty by raising fees and imposing regulations. for example, the popular state children's health insurance program is funded in part with a 62-cent federal tax on cigarettes. the senate also is expected to pass next week the family smoking prevention tobacco control act, which would authorize the food and drug administration to restrict the manufacturing, marketing and sale of tobacco products, the washington publication said. "if we really want to make a difference in health and we want to eliminate dependence on tobacco, what we have to do is to stop the addiction," coburn said. source
