This smoking advertisement, at first, has the assumption that smokers deserve to die but it’s really saying that lung cancer has no prejudice. It assumes that only one type of person can have lung cancer. Its describing the problem with lung cancer in the modern world and how people nowadays assume only certain groups of people can have lung cancer. It brings up the question of “Is it just smokers that get lung cancer?” and “Does this also bring up the problem of other prejudices in the world today?”
