The advertisement I think that uses an appeal to fear is stop smoking ads. These ads are all over now because they want to prevent or stop people from smoking by showing them pictures and explaining it to them how smoking can put people's lives in danger due to the diseases that they can get from smoking and can lead to death.
This ad that I found shows how smoking can give you a serious illness that can lead your death. Smoking cannot only give cause you throat cancer, but also lung cancers such as obstructive lung disease that results from blockage or narrowing of air passageways and many other diseases that can lead to death. This argument is good since all the premises and conclusion are supported by examples that are true. This ad appeal to fear because it shows how smoking can cause numerous kinds of cancers that can lead to death. I don't think people would want that to happen to them and suffer to death especially me because my uncle died from having lung cancer due to smoking.
Thanks for putting out a ad that portrays appeal to fear. These smoking ads want to put fear into everyone's eyes by saying that if they smoke or be around people smoke can cause many dangerous health problems. These advertisements bring fear to the public by showing people who have holes in their throats, or have to speak through a voice box. The argument of trying to persuade people not to smoke tobacco is good because they have given plenty of reasons and evidence of how it affects our health. I actually smoke cigarettes but I am getting to that point where I will stop smoking for good.
