New graphic anti-smoking adverts launched in England - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Deamie;39003605]Not sure how much difference it will make I'm afraid. After all,[B] smoking is still pretty 'cool'[/B] and that's not going to change anytime soon.[/QUOTE] lolno, at least not where I live. People always avoid smokers and most people think someone smoking is a massive turn-off. Especially in girls. Nothing worse than having a girl sit next to you in class but she's smelling like warehouse full of malboro cigarettes.

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;39003809]Here are some of the ads they've been showing here in Australia: [video=youtube;o_BF8l-tT0g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_BF8l-tT0g[/video] [video=youtube;W2Rrw1AFejo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2Rrw1AFejo[/video] [video=youtube;kzoagsjlUv4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzoagsjlUv4[/video][/QUOTE] ugh that last ones pretty disgusting actually

I much prefer the Chaser's anti-smoking campaign. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37Q6e_kp3yc[/media] [editline]30th December 2012[/editline] Oh and of course [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCXvQKp9ut0[/media]

Everyone is overreacting. Sure, smoking will kill you...if you smoke two or three boxes a day. If you keep it down to one or two cigarrettes per month, you should be fine.

[QUOTE=Zarjk;39008421]I'll smoke all I want, thanks.[/QUOTE] K. Have fun dying early and regretting you said this.

I got an ad before the actual advertisement of lionel messi and kobe bryant trying to outskill eachother in an attempt to gain a child's respect. I just went "wtf" and assumed this as troll.

Serious question: how are cigarettes legal when so many other substances are illegal? A corporation selling a variety of wrapped up, consumable poisons with addictive additives to keep you buying them doesn't sound dystopian as fuck?

[QUOTE=Black;39025489]K. Have fun dying early and regretting you said this.[/QUOTE] I'm sure he full on knows and understands the risks and continues to do so because he is his own person and should be able to make self-harming decisions for himself.

I wonder if the people making/supporting these regulations (out of opinion rather than for publicity) have ever talked to a smoker who said smoking wasn't unhealthy. [quote]More than a third of smokers still believe the health risks from smoking are greatly exaggerated, recent statistics from the Department of Health showed.[/quote] well that's kinda because they are, they make it sound like smoking a pack once in your life will invariably lead to lung cancer (lol) [QUOTE=T553412;39024734]Everyone is overreacting.

I was peer pressured into doing it and after about 3 days, I couldn't swallow. I had to spit for a week until the gunk in my throat cleared up. That turned me off from it.[/QUOTE] that's the first time I've ever heard anything like that, are you sure there's not something wrong with you or whatever you were smoking?

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;39003969]Good. Smoking is sick nasty and really fucking annoying in a public place Just today I was trying to eat food in a restaurant and somebody kept blowing smoke everywhere Jesus just wear a fishbowl or something[/QUOTE] Couldn't agree more. I despise people who smoke in public places. Go somewhere else.
