Adolescents compare and assess the efficacy of tobacco product health warning labels from around the world. In groups, they invent warnings and create labels that would be effective for teens and children. Discussion covers advertising ethics, the role of government in safeguarding health, and of course, the negative effects of smoking. Visual texts include irreverent ads by cigarette producers and an editorial cartoon about how health warnings might promote teen smoking.
