    Its a propaganda. Even if it is for a "just" cause. What they want is an effect and in order to get that effect they'll employ whatever strategy they can to maximize the effect desired. Truly unbiased, neutral and objective ad should run something like "Heres the negative side to smoking and here are some positive side to smoking and here are some misconceptions of smoking.. "

    But I guess it turns out fairoverall, cause tabacco companies use propaganda of their own anyway, so it neutralizes it out.

    When I used to smoke, I didnt give out my ciggies even if they asked. I totally didnt get the mentality of smokers developing a courtesy that almost made it mandatory to give out their expensively taxed ciggaretes whenever asked just as if it was some cheap ass stick of gum.

      DinoDoc:

      Here in Korea, men stay often until late 30s, and unmarried girls often never leave.

      In fact, quite often the kids don't leave, because grandpa lives with the family, the oldest son just becomes 'head of the family'.

      Korea is proof you can cram an entire extended family into a tiny appartment.

        The worst commercials are the anti-Marijuana ones.

        What a crock.

            I don't know, personally my biggest beef with these sorts of ad campaigns is that they assume that kids being offered- and accepting, moreover, unless given proper guidance- tobacco, drugs, alcohol, etc., is the norm. Honestly, I was never offered any such things in school, and neither were any of my friends- and supposedly it's "normal" that peer pressure is all but forcing them on you by about fifth grade.

              most kids are communists these days.

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

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


                  so they're equating pot-smoking to being a trekkie? and it's not working?
