Dear all:
In my prep for a talk to Cornell Medical Students I was going to go over the history that
preceded breast is best, when even that was in question and move on to best is best and
then why that was not enough. Since I get bored on the subway now that my eyesight is
not good enough to read over someone else's shoulder or even read a newspaper I picked
up myself on my own lap, I constantly scan ads. I started taking photos of ads on the
subway which include the NYCity ads on quitting smoking. The most gruesome is the
woman who has had some horrible number of amputations who shows her hands with
stumps instead of fingers. I actually thought these ads were probably far too gruesome to
have an impact, but I ran across an article that shows that the highly guilt-drive NY City
approach has had a huge impact on lowering smoking rates. Then, I ran across the ad that
shows the impact on children of second hand smoke. If you watch this one, you can see
very clearly how we have a complete double standard for different industries. Talk about
guilt-inducing ads.
