Chapter 7 Question # 2

Dr. Novello uses cause and effect inductive reasoning when she begins to explain how the number of children and teens who smoked are increasing dramatically once Camel cigarettes were introduced in 1988. The effect Dr. Novello states is the dramatic increase in the number of the smokers who are teens and children, which was caused by the Camel cigarettes, Joe Camel ads. Overall this concludes that that all of the ads that were use for the Camel cigarettes were managed to be directed towards teens and children’s which then caused the increase in smoking for teens and children. Dr. Novello uses the cause and effect inductive reasoning to find a solution to this problem and worked to ban ads of cigarettes that were targeted towards young youth since it had caused much harm. With Dr. Novello’s use of cause and effect inductive reasoning, the ban of these ads actually did bring a decrease in the number of teen and child smokers, which concludes that Dr. Novello was successful in the use of cause and effect reasoning.
