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 these commercials are great to kids but not to adults who already smoke.....once they're addicted, hard for them to stop so they ignore all the bad things. Smoking to them is like right after air,food, and water

Havent seen those commercials but they sound good. I smoke though , but I dont recommend it.

[sunniedayz]

gotta love it!

smoking is stoopid.

[iheartjohn]

The commercials are pretty clever, but it doesn't stop my fiance from smoking.

[jetnight]

i like those too there differrent

Eh .. the things in your body that get affected by smoking is pretty nasty. I think they should show those things. But yeah, I also love the Truth production called "Fair Enough" It shows what cigarette companies are doing. Also, there was an interview of one of the big executives of one big cigarette company when asked would they give their children cigarettes the guy said no way.

yeah i love those truth commercials, they're actually some commercials with worth to them...they get the message across but some people still don't understand sadly.

Ahh I love those commercials. Sadly, it doesn't prevent my dear Johnny from smoking. Anywho, no matter how many facts you present towards smokers and potential smokers, the vast majority of them fail to listen. To quote Metallica, it's sad, but true.

I have to agree. Did anyone go through the D.A.R.E program? Yes, it was suppose to teach kids the dangers of smoking and what not while in elementary school. It was always fun to see my teachers with their D.A.R.E t-shirts on smoking behid the building.

As far as the commericals, they help those that are willing to listen.

yep these are all great commercials.. but i doubt it's effective.

[sharerol]

Yeah. They are great commercials, and they send out a great message, but I have to agree. I don't think many smokers are affected by the commercials, unfortunately, and even if they are, I doubt they'd quit.

The one smoking commercials that actually work are the ones that gross people out. It showed a decline in younger kids starting to smoke. Statics are nice; I like them, but it's not working.

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

Yeah, their great commercials. Good to teach children. And it makes smokers feel guilty. And also make them think!

[Saeglopur]

okay.. this is what they should include in their commericials:


This is a smoker's lung ... with emphysema.


Tar on the lungs ... and the whitish stuff on top is cancer.


Self expanitory

... THIS is what they should show .. except ... not pictures - but the real deal.

[angel-roh]

I think they are awesome.

And like Kimeroo says. They should add those grossing out pictures that grosses out teenagers. I mean commericials with smoking air and signs doesn't help. They need to show those grossing pictures. And if people can't take those stuff, they should know that they shouldn't do smoking either.

[*Kathleen*]

Ew ew ew. Definitely agree with Kim there. So gross.

[Nicolatofu]

I think it's a great way to get a message across. It may help motivate a smoker to quit. But to others who have tried to quit.. it could anger them a little.. considering maybe they couldn't stop with the things given to quit smoking.

I like the second one. I SO wanna try doing that.

[BrokenDream]

That is great to show how BAD smoking is. Smoking is dumb -_-

Those pictures were.. revealing how dangerous smoking can me. o_o

[Mileep]

Smoking is addicitng... It's hard to stop, expecially if you have some type of concern like depressing. Smoking should be ban but it will be hard to though.

Whoa, hold the muthaf-- phone, suckas!

1/3rd of the Confederacy's income during the decade prior to the Civil War was thanks to the tobacco leaf. Unfortunately, slaves were used to farm the product, but thats beside the point.

As far as agricultural progression in the southeast is concerned, tobacco helped to build this country and further its financial security in a major way up until the 1950s. Marlboro cigarettes aren't just cancer sticks smoked by you or your relatives, they help keep money flowing into state governments which in return build you new schools and fund interstates so there are less toll roads.

This country is all about freedom. Think about this; freedom of choice. So, cigarettes are abolished and made illegal. Thats a bit fascist, don't you think? If you honestly, and whole-heartedly believe that smoking cigarettes are going to be the cause for the smog in our air or "global warming," then move your ignorant ass to North Korea.

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.

Riiiight.
