"The campaign, 'Rethink Your Drink,' takes aim at sugary drinks like soda, sports drinks and fake ‘juices’.” A 2012 survey of over 600 Hawaii teenagers revealed that 93 percent reported consuming sugary drinks every week, and 48 percent said they had a sugary drink every day. (Twenty-seven percent of teenagers and over half of adults in Hawaii are overweight or obese.)" Led by the Department of Health, Hawaii hopes to reach out to 100% of its teenagers to educate about the sugary drinks being consumed.

It related two things, how harmful and deadly smoking is and how terrible the terrorist attack was on the Twin Towers. I do believe that this ad along with other ads do help people to quit smoking. Everyone is touched by different things in different ways at different times in their lives. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, the percentage of adults that smoke has declined 3% from 2005 to 2013. As for the terrorists, I do not think that this ad will affect them in any way.
Smoking doesn’t make you cool or feel cool. In reality it’s smelly, it’s disgusting and it kills. Smoking cigarettes has the highest death rate in America today. As Brue Lee would say, I’m not this world to live up to peer pressure’s expectations; I am only here to live up to my own. So we decided to quit, well at least try to quit.

“We did’t work and save all those years so you could go to college and smoke dope!”” (Pot Stories for The Soul p. 65). The older generation who had lived through so much poverty and suffering couldn’t understand why the youth was experimenting with drugs and saw it as potentially throwing their lives away. When Reagan gave his speech in 1982 on the war on drugs, marijuana was the only drug he mentioned by name, demonstrating its popularity among Americans. Although, despite diligent federal efforts to eliminate the U.S. marijuana crop, growers have survived and endured, being industrious and adaptive, much like the plant itself. Actions taken by the government to wipe out marijuana in the U.S. were similar to ways in which they tried to eliminate enemies in war, for example, “Some anti-marijuana campaigns take on the characteristics of military operations.
