Tobacco the big thing

Through the process of creating my research project, I have come to find that I spent most of my time talking about the tobacco industry and how they lied to the public about the dangers of tobacco. So I think I decided to change my topic to how tobacco advertising affects mass media and people perceptions. This is a little more narrowed down so I can focus on just the cigarette company in particular. I went to the library on Friday and found a couple different books and a scholarly journal about cigarette advertising and the history of the tobacco industry so this will give my paper some depth and insight on the academic level. The bad thing is that since I changed my topic slightly, most of my rough draft isn't what I am writing about any more so I have to pretty much start from scratch. I feel like this will be a more in depth topic and hopefully result in a better grade.
