Tobacco companies strategically place cigarette ads next to pictures of slim women so teenaged girls and women will associate thinness and attractiveness with smoking.
Suggested Interactive Activities:
- Have the girls discuss how and why the tobacco industry targets them and what smoking really does to their bodies and minds (see "Just for Girls" Activities).
- Have the girls collect cigarette ads and note where they are placed in the magazines, then discuss the marketing strategy of how cigarette ads are placed to attract women and girls.
