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 think the commercials are annoying. There are a few that are good though. Makes people who already smoke regret it even more and those people who work in cigarette companies lose money. This could be a good thing or it could be a bad thing. People shouldn't smoke because it pollutes the air, but then why drive a car? Well, what I'm trying to say is that people shouldn't try so hard to stop people from smoking (commercials, DARE). It's a smoker's own fault and they're not harming anyone but themselves. Second-hand smoking is very minimal and doesn't harm your body that much if it's spread out. I've second-hand smoked at least 2 or 3 cigarettes (Las Vegas 3 years in a row). Sit in a no-smoking area in a restaurant and if there aren't any, you don't have to go there at all.

The thing is ... if we're more informed less people will stop smoking in the future. Catch the drift? Of course we can't prevent smokers right now ... but stopping future ones will probably help a lot of people .. except the smoking company.
