You only have to go to the local footy game to see how often drugs are advertised. Many sporting events promoted by the media are sponsored by alcohol and drug companies. Alcohol is served at most sporting games in Australia.
Watch this ad from You Tube. Is drinking too much alcohol good for your image and health?

So does the media and sporting events support drug use?
The media plays a large role in educating people about drug use. Government bodies produce ads on television educating people about the risks of drug use.
Most of you will have seen at least one ad associated with smoking. How does the media help educate people about the dangers of smoking? Watch this video from You Tube. It contains many smoking ads rolled into one.

To Do! Did you find this ad confronting? Sometimes people use "shock" or "scare" tactics to get their message across. Do you think it is effective? Participate in the class discussion.
Next blog we are going to move away from legal drugs and look at illegal drugs,
