Addition as a relationship

After reading this essay my thoughts about advitising has dramatically changed. I always thought they were just trying to sell or endorse a produt, I had no idea they were purposely promoting these addictive products which can ultimatly ruin lives. They are intentionally harming the public in more ways than one. Often resulting in the destruction of families and lives. I know these ads arent that persuasive, at least not to me; but there are some people who are eaily influenced, and these ads luer them in to their product. I think its a shame that the ad agency is targeting this group. I think there should be some kind of cap or limit to how far the ads go.
