Philosophy
The strategy was to appeal to the vanity factor of teenagers. The campaign highlights the damage smoking does to things top-most on the minds of the teens; like personal appearance and sexual performance.

Teenagers believed that they were going to live forever and that smoking helped them integrate with their peer groups and made them look cool and grown-up.
