Video Transcript

By showing people hunting, fishing, and playing sports, the deceptive practitioners of the marketing machine learned how to reach people of every nationality and gender. They no longer relied on the addictive nature of tobacco to sell products, but instead struck at the basic fiber of human nature, the ego. With terms such as bolder, stronger and tougher, the industry used psychology to combat scientific truth about smokeless tobacco.
