An advertisement has an amputated hand and a cigarette. Why is this format addressed to young as well as older people?

It seems that there is the element of fear in that ad.
Losing a hand would be devastating to young and old, alike. Psychologically, it seems to
show how absurd it would be to continue smoking even with an amputated hand. Losing a
hand would mean a huge disability no matter what the age of the person is. Think of all
of the reasons having a hand is so important in terms of career, day to day activities,
education, sports and being independent in general. Traditionally, most non-smoking
campaigns target the lungs and show how the lungs look in a smoker's chest. This seems
to be a different route to illustrate the negative effects that smoking cigarettes can
have on a person's health.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
