Targeted: How Tobacco and Alcohol Companies Try to Get You Hooked (#105)
By targeting young audiences, tobacco and alcohol industries hope to recruit a new generation of faithful customers, despite the potential harm that their products may cause. This program explores the phenomenon of targeting young consumers, and will surely be an eye-opener for students who may prefer to think that they’re not being manipulated by ads and media images.
