Health related ads are on the rise, the emphasise being on ADS. Marketing, not effective information.
Ever since I started getting migraines, pain killer ads have been annoying me. They claim to get rid of 'tough' pain fast, but somehow never work for me. They also say on the box that they are effective for migraine despite the fact that is not the case for many many people.
Ok, I get that they aren't trying to be completely correct in their statements and just want to sell the product, but really?
There also seems to be a campaign going on to get people to live healthier, which is good, I'm all for that. But what kinda annoys me is that it always says 'Swap this for a healthier this to avoid chronic illness'. Other than the fact I just can't help thinking 'Bit late for that', it is saying in a way that if someone gets a chronic illness it's their fault when it isn't always true.
