I like the ads. They're disgusting and scary and put the focus on the right thing - having to live with the consequences of smoking.
Most anti-smoking ads talk about death, which is useless because everyone thinks they're invincible. No one truly believes they're going to die. Our puny brains can't understand it.
To all the smokers who say: "Watching this makes me want to have a cigarette...blah blah." Get off it. People have been saying that about anti-smoking/drug/whatever ads since the beginning of time. Find a new way to be clever. This one's not working.

So this is how New York spends their money. Gee, no wonder the city's broke.
Erin, the reality of anti-smoking ads is that they appeal most to self-rightious non-smokers who think they're gonna get lung cancer if someone smokes next to them.
I've been a smoker and I've quit smoking and you know what? Nobody cares. Did I get more money at work when I quit smoking? No. Did I get a relationship? No. Did I get better ideas? No. Frankly, the only real motivation to quit smoking is to get all those anti-smoking nazis to bother someone else. And liberals know that, that's why the media and the advertising community censors any pro-smoking point of view out there. Tobaco companies are afraid of being sued, fucking pussies if you ask me, smokers are used to being harassed, and the only point of view that gets across is Hitler's POV.
I guess we didn't win world war II after all. I'm sure Hitler's laughing his ass off in hell, loving it how the smoking bans he started in public buses and SS offices have become popular in the country that defeated him.

Dude, I'm not self-righteous about smoking. I smoked for 10 years. I don't give a shit if people want to smoke. Go for it. Have at it.
I just appreciate good advertising. And this is good advertising.

Wow, Bobby, you are a freakin' moron. Please take up smoking again so the world can sooner be rid of your sophistry.

I think Bobby has a throat-hole fetish. Imagine the uses...

I think Tuna has a tacogrande stuck up his ass, now wonder he can't concentrate.
As for you Dolph or is it Adolph? You're probably another anti-smoking nazi. Perhaps you should join the national socialist party, or the Democratic Party, it's the same thing but with a different logo.
Maybe you should talk to Tuna, he can fuck you with his taco chiquito. If you need stimulation, try a Hillary Clinton tape, or one of Obama or whichever democrat/nazi is the flavor of the week. Please die soon, I'd love to piss on your grave.

Bobby, the reason you didn't get a relationship even though you quit smoking is because you're a Looneytune.

maybe it's spelled "Looneytoon"

Sure, I'm crazy. I just happen to live in a society where politicians and the media tell you what to eat, what and where you can smoke, what you can say ("hate speech," campaign finance reform), what you can drive, what permits you need to build a floor in your own fucking apartment, etc, etc, etc. And of course, they're completely sane. I guess you all love being told what to do. That's a lot easier than making your own decisions, isn't it?
Anyone who has studied the principles and tactics of national socialism knows EXACTLY what's going on. Hitler didn't let anyone smoke around him, told his followers to eat a vegetarian diet, abstain from alcohol, exercize and live a "healthy" life. And it's not that I'm against exercize or quiting smoking, but I'm sick and fucking tired of people telling free people what to do. We're not slaves!
This may not be nazi germany, but it's getting close.

If you look into the laws of other countries, especially European, you'll see that America is much freer(sp?) and far from being anything like nazi Germany. For example, Something I came across about Germany, where Hitler is long gone but still extremely hated, there are (even) excessive laws about what you can and cannot do with your lawn(your own front yard). Just not keeping your grass below a certain length is cause for a hefty fine. But of course, I would not want things to become that way in America.
I'm going to go catch a smoke now.

Enjoy your smoke while you can, Tdave. If you've noticed in America there are now non-smoking signs outside of buildings, areas where you can't smoke 50 feet from a door. You're right, Europe is worse, but American liberals are deeply influenced by the europeans and they're demanding more changes. Liberals never stop, the never say "we ban indoor smoking, yay!" but instead try to keep going in their crusade in the name of health.

Here's Bobby:
"So this is how New York spends their money. Gee, no wonder the city's broke."
Here's the facts:
New York City is running record surpluses, in the billions of dollars. Strong economy, Mayor Bloomberg's management, a lot of factors. We're getting tax relief and vital city services are being restored. Libraries are staying open more days, first time since 9/11.
So much of what Bobby thinks is true is just flat out wrong.
This is just the latest example. It's easier to act snide than to get even one basic fact right.

@Bobby
Who has been in power the past 8 years and passed all of those smoking bans?
Republicans.
