I have always wondered how the alcohol and tobacco industries promote their products. Is it through person to person? Or social media? Maybe both? These two industries are also largely on social media promoting their topics, and this is where they have a large similarity. In a study called “Booze and Butts”, scientists discovered 14 of 73 (19%) magazine covers featured alcohol; 581 of 1558 (37%) magazine articles mentioned alcohol; 119 of 444 (27%) tobacco ads showed alcohol images; and 57 of 695 (8%) non-tobacco ads portrayed alcohol. There is no better way to enlarge the industries than putting these products on a magazine cover, as psychology has said that a person is more likely to buy it if they have seen it in a famous magazine/movie/show etc.
