Dr. Novella & Joe Camel Ads

Dr. Novella was able to use cause and effect inductive reasoning to find a solution to the problem of smoking among children and teens.  She did this by relating the cause of young people smoking with the ads.  Dr. Novella had used her ability to think critically to see that in 1988 when Joe Camel ads for Camel Cigarettes came out there was an increase in the number of teens smoking.  She noticed that young teens were being easily persuaded into smoking because of the ads that Joe Camel.  When looking at the number of teens that were beginning to smoke before the ads and after, she was able to see the increased number after the ads had been published.  She saw that the ads were influencing the teens to begin smoking decided she had to do something.  Because she had saw the relationship of teens smoking with the ads, you can see that this is a cause and effect. Though she did know for a fact that this was the reason teens were beginning to smoke, she was able to notice a strong relationship.
