Loved it when they came to classrooms and saying this is how much tar in your lungs after smoking a pack a day for 5 years. I always thought to myself, "damn, I need a smoke just about now"

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



Every adult I respected growing up smoked.

Namely my Dad, his Army buddies and my Grandfather.

There is a lot of truth to your statement Smelly.

They say more kids than ever are starting to smoke.



Who is this "they" of whom you speak?

The fact is that smoking rates have been declining for decades and these declines coincide with aggressive anti-smoking propaganda by the gubmint and Ad Council and private industry.

I agree that I really don't need to see someone's innards to convince me not to smoke, but there is no denying the general effectiveness of anti-smoking propaganda.

Was that court from Maryland? Or North Carolina perhaps?

Warnings about the health effects of tabacco make MORE young people want to smoke.


The same way that if you tell them (truthfully) that loud music will cause them to go deaf later in life, they will actually turn UP the volume.
