  1. “Tobacco Use Glamorized In Music Videos and Song Lyrics” By: Arin Morris & Hyung Min Yoon

  2. Summary • City of Berkley did a study found that 49.4% of favorite music videos contained references to smoking or tobacco use. (Machen, 2010). • 79 of the top played songs in the four Bay Area radio stations found 51.3% had related smoking imagery in their music videos. (Machen, 2010). • Worries of potential impacts on youth related to watching their favorite music artist smoking and use of imagery to trigger tobacco use. • Dartmouth University found that adolescents who saw the highest amount of smoking in movies were 3x’s more likely to start smoking. (Machen, 2010).

  3. Artists such as: *Snoop Dogg *Lil Wayne *Kanye *Jay-Z *Lady Gaga “Glamour the imagery of smoking cigarettes, cigars, blunts through lyrics and music videos.” (Machen, 2010).

  5. Discussion Questions • Does anyone smoke or use tobacco products? • Do music videos influence you in smoking or alcohol use? • When you were younger did music videos impact your views on what was “cool”? • Do you think tobacco industries are resorting to the music to sell their products?

  6. Relates To Class • Freudian System: Shows why we buy what we do • Hedonic Consumption: “fantasy” of being like the music artists or actors in movies • Semiotics (object): “The object is the product that is the focus of the message” • Modeling: “process of imitating behaviors of others” • Ideal Self: Viewers of music videos feel if they buy/smoke tobacco products they will be like the artists.
