I decided to pick an Internet ad on smoking. Here is the link: http://gal.darkervision.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tipalet-cigarette-ad.jpg
This ad claims that if a man is to smoke this cigarette and blow the smoke into a woman's face, she will come running after him anywhere. For this claim, I chose to reject it. I believe that it is false. Just because I don't believe this ad does not necessarily make it false. But in this case it does. I am a woman and I do not follow men if they blow smoke in my face, nor do my other female friends. This knowledge and observations come from my own personal experience. Since this is an older ad, possibly earlier they did not know that cigarettes cause cancer, or if they did they did not release that information. But even earlier on women did not run to men when the blew smoke in their faces. I have asked a dozen women, in their sixties and seventies and they said that they did not do such a thing. 
Dang, this advertisement must be pretty old for the tobacco company to come up with that slogan. Obviously we are taught nowadays that tobacco is harmful for the body. Yet, we can see in these advertisements how a company makes their product to appear so popular. A product that can get the ladies, but avoids all the harmful effects their product can actually have. The funny part about this advertisement is that I think it actually blowing smoke in a woman's face will lead to the opposite effect that is noted in the advertisement. How ironic what companies do for people to buy their products. This girl attraction style can still be found in a lot of styling products.
