This is going too far

Doesnt the US government give subsidies to tobacco farmers?

Doesnt everyone even kids know smoking is bad for you

I hate the fact that they increase around dinner time.

Its a fail campaign. They say more kids than ever are starting to smoke. People in government are stupid

I really dont like scare tactics and alarmism no matter what the reason.

No it doesnt work. Everyone now knows smoking is bad for you. Its in bad taste

Its as offensive as anti abortion people showing pictures of cut up fetuses to try to stop women from having abortions

I think it works better on older people, young folks can tune that stuff out.

It was a nice day out in Chicago today... it was ruined by people smoking on the streets because it was so nice.

Its one of the last ways to rebel against your parents and society now. Even tattoos are accepted by most people. Smoking isnt. Be a rebel. Smoke
