Divide class into small groups and distribute several cigar ads. Ask students to identify similarities and differences between cigarette ads and cigar ads. Cigar ads, as do some cigarette ads, appeal to the notion of status, particularly economic status. Students analyze articles about cigars. Ask students to identify common themes in these articles.
Students write newspaper articles.
The Tobacco-Free Daily Show students the transparency. Have students work in small groups. Give each group a piece of newsprint and markers. Instruct groups to review health risks and advertising appeals associated with using cigars. Ask groups to create a clever newspaper headline and sub-head that a newspaper might run if people gave up cigar smoking and write one or two short articles on the subject.
