This picture is trying to persuade a person not to smoke, it gives you all the negative side effects of smoking. All of the facts shown in the picture are exhibiting a pathetic appeal. These facts should scare all of us, making us not want to smoke a cigarette.

I've seen this commercial a few times and each time it grosses me out.

I've never seen this commercial, it appeals to pathos because it is intended to scare people to not start smoking.

I believe that this is rhetorical writing. With smokers being the primary audience, it seeks to persuade them to quit by informing them of all the reasons why they should stop. This article also states facts, builds community for smokers aiming to quit, etc.

Marijuana legalization is a contingent issue.
