Re: Smokers
KKC, I know what you mean. Here is something to think about. If a smoker sees an anti-smoking billboard, tv ad, or just someone complaining about it, the smoker tends to light up. Now if you figure the smoker see's or hears a couple of these ads a day, they have just caused that smoker to light up. Now times that with the number of smokers. That is a bunch of smokes! Big tobacco probably has figured this out. So the more ads they put on about quitting and giving help to quit, the more cigs they are gonna sell.<br /><br />Does this make sense? I feel all ads on radio and TV should be taken off the air. If it can't be advertised, it shouldn't be criticized. <br /><br />So in my belief the liberals are adding to the problem instead of helping.<br /><br />How come you see lots of ads about not drinking and driving, but no ads for quitting drinking? Crazy aint it?
