Many years ago tabacco was only sold in tabacconist's shop, usually they were located at the corner of the cross and with narrow window only adults could buy the portion. Because of the current trend of deregulation or just a consistent development of commercialism, now many people can get access to tabaccos. But announcement only encourages the young to know tabacco is sold in a premises. This is not an encouragement of keeping away from smoking, but a different and another intricate way to show tabbaco is sold in a shop.
Besides, first off anyone can get access to tabacco through automatic vending machine outside the shop. I think simply to show or display the warning about the harm of tabacco or some form of age restriction is fairly acceptable, but they ought not to announce such an explicit principle repeatedly ( roughly once in twenty minutes ), such an anouncement only arouses the excessive interset among minors. This is another form of advertisement.
These types of subliminal advertisement was once used a lot of times in a telly commercial. We used to have lots of tabacco commercial message, and at the end of the commercial message, they always added the phrase ' Be careful of excessive smoking'. This expression was rather ambiguous. If they said ' Be careful not to smoke too much' it was acceptable, but they just said ' Be careful to smoke too much' here the function of 'too' was rather ambiguous.
You see these types of message that hides real intention can be seen in many areas. Be careful to see all these messages. Or Not to see..
