I agree. I find this similar to DARE, which actually increased smoking and drug use.

Yeah, DARE increases drug use.....

everyone i know that was forced through that now at least smokes weed or cigs

Ironically, I went through school before it started and I barely even drink once in a while. My younger brother who went through DARE has tried pretty much every substance this side of heroin and now chews tobacco and still smokes weed fairly regularly.

sounds like my friends but some have done heroin

DARE made me want to try drugs

if someone tells me something is bad and i shouldent do it, im gonna find out for myself why that is

Its like saying, "Hey kid, don't eat that cookie while i am in the other room, where I can not see you eat that cookie."

Exactly. The "forbidden fruit" idea is a proven fact. "Truth" and "DARE" only serve to perpetuate drug and alcohol abuse. (HAHA Truth and/or DARE...pun totally intended).

Whoo I started a big quote line! I'm so proud!

I can't stop in this thread, it's bat country.

With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he'll never know.

The Circus-Circus is what the whole hep world would be doing on Saturday night if the Nazis has won the war.

That was always my favorite quote.

In a few hours, she'll probably be sane enough to work herself into a
towering Jesus-based rage at the hazy recollection of being seduced
by some kind of cruel Samoan who fed her liquor and LSD, dragged her
to a Vegas hotel room and savagely penetrated every orifice in her
body with his throbbing, uncircumcised member.

😕

The commercials make me light up. Not out of spite but simply because they make me think about cigarettes. The commercials are definately bad for smokers. I don't know how good they are at preventing smoking.

I think that anyone who smokes should have to sign away their rights to ever have lung or throat surgery, or cancer treatment. It's a waste of money; kinda like putting Darryl Strawberry in rehab.

They'll all quotes from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
As your attorney, I recommend you go and rent it. 🙂
(Original quote would be "As your attorney, I recommend you rent a fast car without a top.")

smokers are the scum of the earth and should kill themselves.

well, they already are, albiet a little slowly.

 

[ATLien247]

There's this billboard on the side of the interstate on my commute home that has an electronic count of how many smoking related deaths there have been this year in the US. It reads somewhere around 250K right now, which I used to think was insanely high.

I was going to poke fun at it with this post, but I double-checked the stats on the CDC web site, and the billboard seems accurate... 😱

 

[Atomicus]

Ironically, it's the cig tax that pays for those ads 😛

 

[Rogue]

I'm pretty sure some of these cocksure, arrogant little pricks responsible for these ads were on one of my flights into Kansas City earlier this year. They were loud, obnoxious and pompous. I wanted to give them all a stoma with my thumbs. Granted, half my family died from cancer related to smoking and I don't smoke, never have, never will, but there's no damn need to think your inane, derisive and ultimately hypocritical bull$hit makes you better than anyone else.

so what about the financial burden smokers place on the rest us through
increased insurance premiums, and govt healthcare paid for by taxes. Especially
if +250k are dying annually. This added to revenues tobacco companies make.
Of course they do pay taxes which helps defray some bit of their liabilites as do their
employies and smokers. I'm all for personal responsiblity, but where and when did
public companies get exempt from that.

Paying for the healthcare of smokers who die earlier costs less than paying for long term care for the elderly. Have you ever priced a nursing home for 10 or more years? Plus doctors bills, plus drugs?

We all die of something. And chances are we all will be sick with some age related disease or cancer when it happens. To single out the costs of smoking related illnesses and not compare them to the cost of other deaths is silly.

Not to mention using "it costs us all money" argument is extremely dangerous to ALL our freedoms and a slipery slope we should NOT be going down.

same here.
except its bazooko circus.

I'm glad to hear from a non-smoker that these ads are unappealing.
I actually had a game magazine come in the mail recently (thanks, hot deals 🙂 ) and there was a "truth" ad that had an orange cord that spanned several pages, and it actually went over a section of the cheat codes in the magazine to the point where they were not visible. I found that quite ridiculous on the magazine's part, for allowing an actual useful portion of their publication to be overshadowed by propagandist wackos.

No, it's not (read the book).

 

[Babbles]

I thought about starting to smoke just to spite those ads.
They irritate the living hell out of me.
