"Researches and findings have indicated that tobacco companies have always attempted to target their marketing campaigns entirely the young generation between the ages of 18- to 25 year who are mostly smokers. Furthermore, the financial incentive is overwhelming for involving underage smokers more effectively than the competition. Countries like Unites States and Canada has the tobacco industry sponsors with so-called youth access programs, in which the retailers are repeatedly told as not to sell tobacco products to minors (Redirect to - Regulation of Tobacco Sales, Marketing, and Use)."

(Ad week?s Marketing Week, 1991) Joe Camel has greatly influenced not only the teenagers between the ages of 14- 18 years but even the very young. For instance of the study showed that almost one-third of three-year-olds matched Joe Camel with cigarettes and by the age of six, children were as familiar with him as with the Mickey Mouse (Brand Logo Recognition by Children Aged Three to Six Years, 1991)."

Abstract
The largest market segment in the smoking and non-smoking population, the youth sector, has been targeted as the most important market segment for cigarette product ads. This paper discusses the main reasons why targeting the youth sector is considered the most lucrative market in the cigarette/tobacco industry today and answers the question why advertisements remain the most effective method of enticing consumers to buy cigarette products despite the obvious health risks to the consumer.
From the Paper
"In psychology, the influence of tobacco ads among the youth illustrates the importance of image copying and self-concept formation than the risks of potential health problems as primary motivations for smoking. It is evident that social interaction is important, since ?[s]moking experimentation commonly occurs at transition points in adolescence when there is a threat to a teen?s emerging self-concept? They are more subject to social pressure and more attuned to advertising? (Lynch, 1994:119). Thus, smoking among the youth cannot be generalized as a product of ?limited capacities? in the process of decision-making, but rather, participating actively in making the choice on whether to smoke to form one?s own self-concept and image in his/her society or not to smoke in order to avoid the health risks posed by consuming the product."

It explores the historical involvement of the FDA with the industry, through to the stances taken by the Democratic and the Republican parties after revocation. It investigates the reasons behind Big Tobacco funding the Republican party, and the Trial Lawyers' PAC contributing so heavily to the Democratic coffers in the 2000 presidential campaign.
From the Paper
"It is a sad fact that less than 50% of Americans vote. The reasons behind this non-participation are myriad, ranging from the view that traditional parties are out of touch with the needs of modern-day society, to the inconvenience of attending mid-week daytime voting stations. One common complaint is the effect of party funding by big business and by Political Action Committees, since the practice implies that money rather than votes wields political influence."

Tobacco Dilemma, 2005.
A brief look at the ethical factors involved in marketing tobacco products to Third World countries.
753 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the tobacco industry's marketing efforts abroad as they sell their products to Third World nations. Like many industries in the United States, when a product is banned there, it often finds buyers outside of the country's borders. Although this practice seems unethical, it does provide answers for the tobacco industry even when they are not socially or ethically acceptable. This paper shows that once the tobacco industry had to admit their guilt in the United States, economics kicked in and dictated the new marketing solution of selling to poorer nations.
From the Paper
"How a product is marketed makes a big difference in sales. "Brazil also has probably the highest level of tobacco advertising per capita in the world. When advertising stopped for a year, cigarette sales fell 4.8% in nine months." (Chapman & Leng, 2004) The American Cancer Society has been very critical in the media regarding the US tobacco companies' marketing strategies. As the largest exporter of tobacco products in the world, US tobacco companies have been criticized for selling cigarettes with tar levels well beyond those levels allowed in the United States. Also, the marketing efforts have been focused on women and children who prior to these new endorsements had relatively low numbers of smokers in the developing countries."

From the Paper
"Tobacco is much in the news with the historic agreement between a group of 40 state attorneys-general and the major tobacco companies concerning a settlement over tobacco litigation. It might seem that tobacco has been so thoroughly demonized that tobacco stocks would be a sour investment, but in fact the agreement offers a number of reasons why tobacco stocks would be a good investment at this time.
The agreement will mean that the industry has to pay some $368.5 billion and will also be subjected to new rules to reduce the advertising possible for tobacco, to eliminate vending machines, and to tie the future of tobacco to a lowered rate for smoking by young people. The industry will also have to place blunter warnings on cigarette packages. The industry also must acknowledge the authority of government to regulate nicotine. The ..."

Tobacco: Tax It!!, 2008.
This paper traces the history of tobacco, known early to be the cause of cancerous deaths, and argues that tobacco taxes should be greatly increased.

Abstract
This paper explains that, as early as the 1800s, scientist began to recognize that nicotine was so poisonous that it could be used as an insecticide and that pure nicotine could kill humans. The author focuses on the dangers of secondhand smoke because she is appalled that, in the 21st century, there is still disbelief about its danger. The paper stresses that the taxes and laws that have come to fruition over the past 20 years are from nonsmokers speaking out. The author feels that, if the majority of smokers feel they have a right to be intolerant of nonsmokers who wish to live a healthier life, then they should have to pay for the privilege of smoking. The paper concludes that smoking, if not banded, should be taxed so high that it is unaffordable.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1492, Christopher Columbus was offered dried tobacco by the American Indians as a gift. Columbus and his sailors brought tobacco back to Europe and it has grown their ever since. Again the supposed medicinal purposes of tobacco resulted in extreme popularity in Europe as it did in America. Thomas Harriet has the historical place in history as being the first to promote the smoking of tobacco as a way to get your recommended daily dose. It must be noted that Harriet died of nose cancer thought to be caused by exhaling the smoke from tobacco through his nose which was popular at the time."

From the Paper
""Of all drugs, legal and illegal, tobacco is the greatest killer" even though there are restrictions on tobacco products (Tobacco laws). Dating back to President Clinton, presidents and the Congress has passed laws on restricting tobacco sells and restricting tobacco advertisements. Yet, the statistics of people who smoke remain about the same. As the lives of children, teenagers, and adults are at stake from the danger of tobacco products, more restrictions need to be placed on selling tobacco products and restricting advertisement of tobacco products. "When President Bill Clinton announced in August his intention to implement Food and Drug Administration restrictions on the selling of cigarettes, he hastened to assure the nation's tobacco growers that he felt their pain" (Goldman 25)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how there can never be an ethical dilemma, because one of the prima facie obligations always outweighs the others and becomes the absolute obligation. In this case, it is evident that the state government has many areas of consideration. The paper explains that there are those within society that have been adversely affected by the use of tobacco and tobacco products, there are the tobacco companies that have produced the products, the health care facilities that treat individuals with illness caused by these products, the tax payers that must pay for health care which the patients cannot afford and the states that must absorb the cost of the health care.
