How Big Tobacco Engineered Addiction

Описание: Cigarettes were once recommended by doctors, handed out to soldiers, promoted by Hollywood, and sold as symbols of freedom.

But this wasn’t simply a cultural accident.

Behind the advertisements was a carefully engineered system built to normalize smoking, protect the tobacco industry, and keep millions of people addicted.

In this animated popular science documentary, Hidden Grey investigates how cigarettes spread from ancient rituals to a global industry. We explore the invention of mass-produced cigarettes, wartime tobacco rations, Hollywood marketing, the Marlboro Man, Edward Bernays and the “Torches of Freedom” campaign, as well as the scientific evidence tobacco companies tried to bury.

What did Big Tobacco know about nicotine addiction? How were cigarettes designed to deliver nicotine more effectively? And why is quitting much more complicated than simply having enough willpower?

This is the hidden history of cigarettes — a story about science, psychology, advertising, corporate influence, addiction, and one of the most successful behavior-engineering campaigns ever created.

Hidden Grey produces animated documentaries and popular science videos about psychology, human behavior, history, biology, technology, society, and the hidden systems shaping our world.
