Seducing Women and then Killing Them:
The Targeting of Women by the Tobacco Industry
The tobacco industry has long sought to market its product to consumers. Several advertising campaigns have focused specifically on reaching female customers. An exhibit, created by Natalie Cheung and Christopher Squier from the Dows Institute for Dental Research at the University of Iowa, examines how cigarette manufacturers have attempted to entice women to purchase their products.
The exhibit is located on the third (main) floor of the library near the current display journals.
