actually, it does work.

when it comes to saving people's lives, can you really go "too far"?

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



People know that cigarettes are bad because the information was made available. Nothing you're saying is supported by anything. You're talking out of yours ass. Smoking rates are at historic lows


The anti-smoking information campaign has been a huge success. It's too bad we don't use a similar tactic with other drugs.

I remember my friends son wanted to rebel when he was 12, he came in and declared he was going to buy a Marilyn Manson CD and his dad told him not to do that. He got a grin on his face but it disappeared when he said "either your uncle Bonzo or I will loan it to you, between us we have all of them".

One more item about children, and that is, the superstitious nonsense that blames tobacco companies for kids who smoke. Listen, kids don't smoke because the camel in sunglasses tells them to. They smoke for the same reasons adults do: because it relieves anxiety and depression. And you'd be anxious and depressed too if you had to put up with these pathetic insecure striving anal yuppy parents who enroll you in college before you're old enough to know which side of the plate pen smells the worst. And then they fill you full of Ritalin and drag you all over town in search of meaningless structure: little league, cub scouts, swimming, soccer, karate, piano, bagpipes, water colors, witch craft, glass blowing, and dildo practice. They even have play dates for Christ's sakes. Playing is now done by appointment! Whatever happened to: you show me your weewee and I'll show you mine? No wonder kids smoke... it helps! Not as much as weed, but hey, you can't have everything.

the people who pick up smoking as kids do it because they think it makes them look cool, no other reason

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.





Failed campaign? Isn't smoking levels close to an all time low?

As long as you are talking about George Carlin and not Grilled Cheese I can agree with you. Maybe not the smartest, but he was one sharp mother.

Maybe we need to start a Carlinist party.

Here is another of my favorites from him:

I got this real moron thing I do, its called thinking and I am not a very good American, because I like to form my own opinions! I don't just roll over when I am told to. Sad to say most Americans just roll over on command. Not me. I have certain rules I live buy. My first rule: I don't believe anything the government tells me. Nothing. Zero. Nope.
