    I don't get anti-smoking ads...

    the always show some kids doing something and one of them randomly asking if people want a cigarette... why would this teenager who went to the trouble of getting cigarettes and paid for them, why would they ever just start giving away cigarettes willy nilly?

    i dont get these ads.


    thanks

        some of the ads work. some of them don't.

        like, i remember the "this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs" ad... i thought those worked well. these recent ones equating it to terrorism, well, i don't really get. ah, well.

          but again... why would some teenager who had to go to the trouble of getting an adult to buy the cigarettes for him and had to pay for them... why would he ever give up these cigarettes that were expensive and a touble to obtain?!

            Well, the ones I can't stand are those "Truth" ads.

            Man those kids are so annoying.

              Next you'll be complaining about people like me who give their hard-earned loonies to subway musicians.

                  "Are you telling me that by buying drugs, I'm giving money to terrorists?"
                  "Uh huh."
                  .....
                  .....
                  .....
                  "Really?"
                  "Yep."

                  DRUG MONEY HELPS SUPPORT TERROR.

                  Incredibly ineffective.

                  I liked the "this is your brain on drugs" commercials, and the ones where they showed actual dead organs and how they were effected by drugs.

                  I hate the drug money supports terror ones, though It doesn't smoothly flow, and its artistic value is INCREDIBLY low

                    Agreed....

                    Especially since their target market (Highschool kids) mostly just smoke pot or cigaretts (note I said mostly... there are some exceptions...) the add if it was truthfull should be more along the lines of "Drugs supports Billy next door... he needs more money for grow lights, and booze."

                      Oh now those edgy and cool Truth kids just dumped a dump truck full of 5 billion dollars in fake money! Did you know that's how much the tobacco industry would lose if nobody bought their products?

                          most kids are communists these days.

                          either that, or they're corporate shills for the tobacco company, getting kids addicted.

                            Well, since they generally steal them it's not like they're losing anything. I was randomly offered cigarettes and drugs when I was in high school.

                              I've seen one for pot. It shows losers still living in thier parents basement for years after they should be long gone.
