Commercials

Clip of advertisement trying to get cigarette advertising on agenda:
Teens&Tobacco - CNN. 16 year old girl can't stop reading cigarette adds. Has smoked since she was 14. Tobacco companies are still targeting teens, despite legal agreement not to. CNN spelled Siegel's name wrong - Siegal.
Framing smoking in bars as workers' health:
1. Sepia toned diner - "It's not easy to quit a fifteen-year smoking habit, especially when it's not yours." - Not everyone can walk away from secondhand smoke.
2. Full House Clip? Siegel recorded that, frequently? An accident, but damning.
3. Clip of people - diners and waiters pleased 16 months after the ban are pleased. Restaurant workers 1.5 times greater risk, "no-smoking" sections don't reduce harm. Bar owner thinks business has dropped off (not associated with smoking?) and think it should be his decision to let people smoke or not. Also, Siegel is Rick Moranis-esque on tv.
