So you smoke only when you’re at home or in open spaces alone (I have to go 10/20 meters away from a smoker to avoid his smoke) and you’ll be lucky and will never ever have smoking-related ilnesses (so your smoking doesn’t weighs upon the health care system)… well, if it’s so, I have nothing to argue.

By the way some of the ads are really clever

“NO AMOUNT OF SECONDHAND SMOKE is safe.” Read the report from the Surgeon General http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/secondhandsmoke/secondhandsmoke.pdf. The percentage of smoke that smokers actually inhale when they puff is 15%…the remaining
85% of the 7,000 chemical and chemical compounds lingers in the air for others to breathe. The “filtered” amount has been processed and broken down as small as lungs can get it…leading it to your lungs which cannot break it down any smaller.

Regarding, “unless you live with a smoker…enough second hand smoke to cause any health concern is BS.” Now a relatively healthy person might be fine when not repeatedly exposed. However children’s lungs are still developing and the elderly and others are highly susceptible to the effects of tobacco smoke. When you work in the ER where children come in constantly with respiratory problems or asthmatic children who just can’t breathe and the parents smell of smoke…your heart goes out to them. They don’t have a say and because of people like you and posts like this the parents still think it is alright to smoke around the kids…after all you are using a filtered cigarette right….and it’s not directly in their face right????

I wish that people would try to stop sounding the horn of “non-conformity”…when they hear repeated medical reports of the dangers of tobacco smoke. There is a reason that these things are being said. Most people who smoke even want to quit or never wish they started because they themselves feel the effects. You cannot argue with that. Find a person who says it’s good for you and you will find an idiot. Please stop posting nonsense.

I have been hearing about a new ad campaign to stop smoking so I thought I would take a look. I am looking BACK as I quit 4 years ago. One day I was watching a talk show. There were moms talking about their occasional social smoking habit. They would hang with the girls, have a few drinks, smoke some cigarettes, etc. Two of these women were dying from lung cancer. They had to face their children and tell them, “sorry, I won’t be there for your first prom, graduation, wedding, etc. They told their kids they were dying from lung cancer because they smoked.” The biggest blow was seeing the children’s faces…to see their tears of pain, helplessness and confusion. I cried…I felt overwhelming sadness and regret for my own selfish behavior…I thought of my baby who needed me to be there. I smoked a few cigarettes a day for years..to relieve stress mostly. To me, I was not a “smoker” but that was a lie that I told myself. I fought to quit for years and came up with all kinds of dumb excuses and flipped out every time I tried. Talk about addicted! But honestly, just watching that show changed my life and destiny. I quit that day…. immediately. I actually did get cancer later….and I thought, uhh….huh….see what happens dumb a$$. it wasn’t diagnosed as smoking related but easily could have been and I am super lucky to be here. Cancer is the worst thing ever and a diagnosis is like looking down the barrel of a gun. The odds are already great to get the big C and smoking, well, if you smoke, you may as well will it upon yourself. Who the hell would want to do that?? If I could do it all over, I NEVER EVER would touch a stupid cigarette…it is the dumbest thing to do to your body. BTW, that’s what the women who were dying said to their kids too…I bet they felt horrible having to say that!! Your body IS so incredible and special and such a gift…respect it and love it and treat it well. Smokers….GIVE UP SMOKING..you’ll see….trust me, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Great ads, very creative & I agree smoking sucks, I smoked since 197? and just quit this year. I can tell you though NEVER was an ad made that made me quit smoking. A picture and words will NEVER make a smoker stop. My mother died of lung cancer and I still smoked (btw she did not smoke & the cancer had nothing to do with smoking!)

The only REAL truth I saw in all those ads was the one about being HOOKED! Smoking is like 10 times more addictive than Heroin yet health insurance wont cover treatment for it!?? hello!? what is that message saying when healthcare refuses to pay for the treatment to STOP smoking, but they will pay for the cancer treatment… what is wrong with this picture?

In my case Chantrix and nightmares worked for me, so far. I still tell myself NO several times a day. It pops into my head and I literally tell myself no. My dad still reached for his shirt pocket where he kept his 20 years after he quit!

Very creative ads! Some are scarey, but I guess the advertisers are assuming they may be able to scare people into quitting. I find it interesting that some of the current smokers who read these ads, said the ads were stupid. But, in all kindness and as an observation, isn’t it stupid to smoke in the first place.

If you step outside to smoke, you are not harming your loved ones directly. Just when they have to bury you before your time. It’s a strong addiction which can make the most sensible person make up excuses to justify their action.

I’ve watched a family member die of cancer. She didn’t smoke that much. First it took her independence, then it took her pride, then it took HER piece by piece. Pretty soon she was a shadow of her glorious strong self. It didn’t happen fast. It took her slowly and painfully. Please! No loved one should ever have to watch a family member deteriorate like that. For that reason I will take the chance of being unpopular in saying PLEASE STOP! Somebody loves you.

P.S. in Canada we have public health care, so if my taxes pay for you to have all the cancer treatments that you may or may not use in the future shouldn’t people have a say? The price of cigarettes or the taxes for cigarettes don’t even come close to the cost of cancer treatments. Should smokers be allow to bankrupt or health care system? Is it really just their health at stake?

Many are saying good advertisements and they should be everywhere. Then please be kine enough, take permission and put the advertisements which you like in the place you live. And believe me people who do this, there were will be many advertisements everywhere.

Secondly, if you want to SMOKE, THEN PLEASE GO AHEAD. BUT PLEASE DO NOT HAVE THE GUTS OF KILLING OTHER PEOPLE BY YOUR SMOKE. PLEASE INHALE THE SMOKE.

im smoking while reading this. how can they equate my smoking outside my home, on the porch, to putting a plastic bag over my daughters head or handing her a cigarette? completely absurd. and why cant i publish pro-smoking ads? if this was truly a free country i would be able to.
