Have you ever seen an anti vape ad? Chances are you have. You probably have seen the one with puppets saying that vaping kills. I came to question how are these ads effective? In my opinion, I would believe that most teens would probably ignore these ads due to the cringiness of the puppets. A puppet with an annoying voice telling you to stay away from vaping doesn't seem like an effective approach to tackling teen vaping. Since teens don't like being told what to do, imagine how uneffective a puppet telling them that what to avoid is a good idea. I personally think that showing anti vape ads are good for spreading awareness but not for ending teen vaping. Although these puppets do look creepy, they catch attention which brings attention to the anti vape movement. The attention may not always be positive though.December 15, 2019
I agree with your point. As a teen, I wouldnt care much about this ad becuase it looks so stupid. But, it is probably targeted twords children, who can be stoped from starting to vape. As for teens, its very hard for advertisers to really get into the minds of teens becuase we want to be independent and not told what to do, like you stated. This ad overall doesnt appeal to teens very well, but advertisers might be able to get to the minds of children.
