smoking commercials Options

[jnukes]

i think those commercials that show how smoking is bad through other situations are awesome -- they're great ways to spread a message



-- such as that one where a guy's on a stage @ a carnival , w/ a crowd of people watching .. and w/ a curtain behind him . and he says " do you want to see tha kind of people that destroy our world each day ? " [[ or something like that ]] .. and then he pulls tha curtain, and it's a huge mirror, w/ tha reflection of tha crowd of people ..


-- and that one, where tha setting is @ tha mall .. and this guy w/ a huge barrel of cleaner spray on his back .. and he's going around tha mall spraying tha cleaner around people .. and tha people gett annoyed ..


then it's goes to a screen where a woman that works @ a bar w/ a headache and people smoking .. then a narrator says " people shouldn't be affected by second-hand smoke " .. describing how tha guy w/ tha cleaner spraying it near people ..


anyone know what i'm talking about ?? -- and what do you think of those commercials .. ?

I like those comercials. They're nifty. ^Yes it's a free country, but what about second hand smoking,hmmm? Yes, answer that. The things is, smoking causes lung cancer which can kill you.

So banning cigarettes are going to prolong the inevitable?

Face it, you're gonna die. Secondhand smoke is half as deadly as carbon monoxide or gasoline fumes. How often are you exposed to that?

The commercials use shock-value to market the "truth" to the public. People have a right to smoke. If I'm worrying about making enough moeny on a meager salary to support my family and provide for my kid's future, and then when I come home, I have an ungrateful wife on my case, I'd want a smoke too, damnit.

Its such a vague statement to say "secondhand smoke causes lung cancer, which can kill you." An absent minded driver t-boning your car can kill you, eating too much of a food you didn't know you were allergic to can kill you, mixing OTC medicines can kill you. All of the preceeding can kill you instantly. So you took a whiff of some stale menthol smoke? Big deal. You'll live.
